Electrical connector having a ground bar and a ground bridge connected to the ground bar and to a ground contact
View Patent ↗An electrical connector includes: a contact unit including plural pairs of signal contacts and plural ground contacts between adjacent pairs of signal contacts; a cable including plural wires terminated to the contact unit; a ground bar retaining the cable to the contact unit; and a ground bridge connected at a rear thereof to the ground bar and connected at a front thereof to at least one of the plural ground contacts.
1. An electrical connector comprising:
a contact unit including plural pairs of signal contacts and plural ground contacts between adjacent pairs of signal contacts;
a cable including plural wires terminated to the contact unit;
a ground bar retaining the cable to the contact unit; and
a ground bridge being separate and distinct from the plural ground contacts and connected at a rear thereof to the ground bar and connected at a front thereof to at least one of the plural ground contacts; wherein
the ground bridge has a separation wall situated between two adjacent pairs of signal contacts and soldered to the at least one ground contact.
2. The electrical connector as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the ground bar has a front notch, and the separation wall engages the front notch.
3. The electrical connector as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each wire has a terminating end and the ground bridge shields the terminating end.
4. An electrical connector comprising:
a contact unit including plural pairs of signal contacts and plural ground contacts between adjacent pairs of signal contacts;
a cable including plural wires terminated to the contact unit;
a ground bar retaining the cable to the contact unit; and
a ground bridge connected at a rear thereof to the ground bar and connected at a front thereof to at least one of the plural ground contacts;
wherein the ground bridge has a separation wall situated between two adjacent pairs of signal contacts and soldered to the at least one ground contact.
5. An electrical connector comprising:
a contact unit including plural pairs of signal contacts and plural ground contacts between adjacent pairs of signal contacts;
a cable including plural wires terminated to the contact unit;
a ground bar retaining the cable to the contact unit; and
a ground bridge connected at a rear thereof to the ground bar and connected at a front thereof to at least one of the plural ground contacts;
wherein the ground bar has a front notch, and the ground bridge has a separation wall engaging the notch and situated between two adjacent pairs of signal contacts.
