Abstract
A connector for shielded flat electrical cable provides for electrical connection of the cable shield through electrical contacts of the connector. The connector comprises a contact housing with electrical contacts, a cover and a shield clamp which may also serve as a strain relief member. A conducting surface on at least one of the cover and the clamp makes electrical contact with the cable shield when the connector is assembled. The conducting surface is electrically connected with at least one of the electrical contacts so as to permit electrical connection of the shield when the connector is mated with another connector or an electrical device.
