It is therefore a shielded multi-pin connector 119, wherein the housing as in the embodiment of FIGS. 19a to 19e is formed and a corresponding square or rectangular housing portion 51a surrounds this in cross-section rectangular or square outer conductor 21.
  • a connector with four shielded coaxial connectors 19 is shown, comparable to the previous embodiment according to the FIGS. 6 to 14 however, the distance between two pairs of coaxial connectors 19 is larger in one direction than in the transverse direction. This opens up the possibility of providing a multipolar shielded or unshielded connector 119 in the middle, for example.
  • FIG. 21a is between two coaxial connectors in plan view square or rectangular connector for a multipolar further connector 119 shown, which is again formed in this embodiment as unshielded connection, in which the four inner conductors 123 shown above the base portion 121 projecting upwards.
  • the base portion 121 is again provided with an extension 121 'projecting in the direction of the four inner conductors 123, which forms an outer conductor 21, so that the extension 121' in the form of the outer conductor 21 is connected to the remaining connecting webs 27 to form a uniform connection frame 127, which is designed to be conductive.
  • FIGS. 22a to 22c is again comparable to the embodiment of the FIGS. 20a to 20e shown that the base portion 121 is extended as a rectangular in cross-section or square outer conductor 21 and only about at the level of the free ends of the inner conductor 123 ends to design here this multi-pin connector as a shielded connection.
  • the mentioned inner conductors 123 may be present in shielded and unshielded connectors in varying numbers.
