Abstract
A cable plug is described for connecting a cable to the rear of an IC (integrated circuit) card of the PCMCIA type, which makes a simple ground connection between the cable shield and the card cover. Case shells (31, 32, FIG. 2 ) of the plug connector have rear ends with a crimp (37) and a bridge (40) that directly engage a cable shield (24). The case shells have front ends that form forwardly-projecting tabs (43, 44). The tabs project through slits (45, 46) of a carrier plate portion (12) and directly engage sheet metal cover portions of the IC card. The tabs lie slightly above and below plug parts (13, 14) of the carrier, so the front parts protect the tabs.
