ABSTRACT:
A connector interface assembly is disclosed which includes modules which contain electrical terminals of an electrical signal or power source. The assembly also includes a ground plate and a module retainer block having receptacles for removably receiving the modules therein. The retainer block and the ground plate are removably attached to a multi-contact connector. The ground plate has an open area for receiving the multi-contacts of the connector therein, and the retaining block has a cavity for receiving the ground plate therein. The receptacles are positioned at a higher level relative to both the grounding plate and the multi-contact connector in order to facilitate connection of conductors of the electrical source to both the grounding plate and the multi-contact connector. The proximity of the modules to the ground plate and open area of the retainer block allows for minimizing impedance loss due to the use of minimal length ground and signal/power leads from the module.
