Abstract
A plug and receptacle assembly comprises a plug connector and receptacle connector, for high-density interconnections of data cable. The plug connector is comprised of two hermaphroditic housings which both include two rows of electrical terminals. The contact portions of the terminals are disposed on opposite sides of a front cantilevered section, whereas wire connecting sections extend through the rear of the housings and are adapted to receive the wires in a soldering operation. The housings are positioned in a shielding shell when fully terminated to fully shield the connector assembly.
