Abstract
A connector system is provided with connectors, each of which comprises at least one shielded terminal. The shielded terminal has a ground contact and at least one signal terminal. The ground contact is substantially identical for signal conductors terminating either in a female, a male, or a hermaphroditic structure. The shielded terminal also has at least one lug extending beyond the shielded terminal. The signal terminal is either provided, at one end of the shielded terminal with at least one clamping lug which can be folded around the signal conductor of an electrical cable to establish a firm electrically conductive contact therewith, or it is integrally made with the signal conductor.
