Abstract
An electrical plug connector comprises a dielectric contact-carrying member having signal contact members secured to one side of the contact-carrying member at spaced intervals therealong. A ground contact member is secured to the other side of the contact carrying member with contact sections of the signal contact members and the ground contact member extending from a front end of the contact-carrying member. Conductor-connecting sections of the signal and ground contact members extending along the contact-carrying member. Signal conductors and ground conductors of electrical cables are electrically connected respectively to the conductor-connecting sections of the signal contact members and the ground contact member. A dielectric housing member is secured onto the contact-carrying member and part of the electrical cables so that the contact members from their contact sections to their conductor-connecting sections are covered. The signal and ground conductors are electrically connected to the signal contacts and the ground contact member respectively by first being force-fitted into respective slots thereof and then terminated by being laser welded thereto.
