ABSTRACT:
A shielded plug and socket electrical connector system is provided for interconnecting a plurality of shielded electrical cables with a printed circuit board. A plurality of plug connectors each include a dielectric housing which mounts a plurality of terminals terminated to conductors of a shielded cable and a two-part shielding hood configured for substantially enclosing the housing. Each plug connector includes a grounding contact fitted within one part of the shielding hood. The grounding contact includes a first plug portion adapted for conductively engaging a shield of the cable and a second plug portion exposed exteriorly of the hood. A socket connector is adapted for mounting to the printed circuit board and includes an elongated dielectric housing defining a plurality of receptacles each for receiving a corresponding one of the plurality of plug connectors. The socket connector includes a grounding bar mounted on the housing and extending lengthwise thereof. The grounding bar includes a first socket portion adapted for connection to a grounding trace on the printed circuit board. The grounding bar also includes a plurality of second socket portions each located adjacent a receptacle and adapted to engage the second plug portion of the grounding contact of each of the corresponding plurality of plug connectors when received in the receptacles.
