Abstract
Abstract An electrical connector component assembly (10) provides for shielding as between components of the connector. An electrically conductive outer housing (12) includes a plurality of discrete bounded compartments (30). A plurality of electrically insulative terminal support elements (14,16) are supported individually in the bounded compartments. Plural electrical contacts (18,20) are supported in at least one of the support elements. The electrical contacts supported in the one support element are electrically shielded from the components of the other support element by the bounded compartments. <IMAGE>
