ABSTRACT:
A connector assembly for connecting several coaxial cables to a circuit board such that the center conductors of each cable are inserted within a conductive hole which forms part of the board structure. The assembly includes a common housing which may be electrically conductive or insulative and a spring contact member which serves as part of the grounding means to effectively ground the shield members of the coaxial cables to the board's ground. The spring contacts may be in the form of resilient springs which extend from the assembly or of compressible members coupled to a conductive layer which in turn is connected to the shield members. An apparatus for positioning more than one such assembly on a common board structure is also shown and described, as is an assembly designed for positioning the cables therein in a substantially compact orientation.
