ABSTRACT:
A plug connector is joined to a shielded flat ribbon cable including a plurality of insulated leads disposed laterally adjacent to one another, the cable further including an electrically conducting shielding enveloping the leads. The shielding is severed along the lateral edges of the cable to form a first shielding layer on one side of the cable, the first layer being additionally severed along a zone extending substantially transversely to the leads and peeled back to enable insertion of the plug connector. The second layer is separated from the insulated leads and a first portion of the plug connector is inserted from the side between the separated second layer and the insulated leads. A second portion of the plug connector is disposed in juxtaposition to the insulated leads on the one side of the cable upon completion of the step of peeling. The first portion and the second portion of the plug connector are then pressed against the cable. In a shielded flat ribbon cable utilizable in performing the method, the plurality of insulated leads and the electrically conducting shielding are surrounded by an outer sheath of insulating material provided with a guide groove for facilitaing application of a cutting tool to sever the shielding along the lateral edges of the cable.
