  • the contact shield disclosed in these patents also includes an extended ground element for electrical engagement with the multi-conductor cable to maintain electrical ground continuity between the cable and the contact shield.
  • the cable receiving end of the connector also includes a two component strain relief device which helps secure the cable in the connector.
  • the strain relief device engages the folded back portion of the cable braid to frictionally hold the cable to the connector.

  • the contacts include conventional conductor termination end portions which are electrically connected to individual conductors of the multi-conductor cable.
  • Dressing blocks may also be provided which snap-fit to the contact support member over the contact end portions to secure the conductors in place.

As shown in Figure 6b, locking arm 104 fits into a cooperating locking hole 106 of an alternate embodiment of the contact shield 58b when strain relief component 90 is inserted in receiving slot 75.
