Abstract
An angle type plug connector has an insulated body for insertion into a mating connector, and contacts fixed in the insulated body and each having at its one end a finger for contact with a foreign contact held in the mating connector, each contact having at its other end a leg adjoined to one electric wire in a signal transmission cable The connector also has an angle type shield consisting of a pair of first and second metallic covers, the first cover enclosing outer portions of the insulated body and the second cover enclosing the contacts' legs and the wires' bare end portions, so that the second cover extends at a right angle relative to the first cover. An insulated housing encloses the shield such that the insulated body and the cable protrude from the housing and at a right angle to each other, and the housing is split up into a first and second halves and so that these halves extend along a plane that includes the axis of the insulated body and the central line of the cable, the split halves having faces fitted one on another. Retention grooves formed in these faces secure in them guard lugs of the insulated body, and each half and has three side walls around the shield and three interlocking portions formed in and along the side walls, so that a narrower space will suffice in putting the connector in and out of the mating connector so as to increase freedom of handling the cables and match it to various surroundings, rendering it more resistant to a distorting or withdrawing stress imparted to the cable.
