ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector assembly is provided for terminating a multi-conductor cable. The assembly includes a conductive guide member having a plurality of channels for positioning the conductors of the multi-conductor cable whereby the conductors can be trimmed along an edge of the guide member. A cover member is profiled for engagement with the conductor guide member, with a portion of the cover member covering exposed ends of the trimmed conductors. A base assembly mounts a plurality of terminals and is profiled for aligning the terminals for termination to respective conductors when the base assembly is assembled with the conductor guide member and cover member. The cover member is sandwiched between the conductive guide member and the base assembly and includes a plurality of apertures through which the terminals project for termination to the conductors. The connector includes a conductive backshell formed by a pair of backshell halves. The backshell halves provide strain relief for the cable, a clamping device for a drain wire from the cable and a ground connection for a shield of the base assembly. A mating connector is disclosed and includes a molded plastic housing and a metal shield for mating with the electrical connector assembly for the multi-conductor cable.
