Abstract
Abstract A connector for a cable for high frequency signals, in particular for connecting cables with contact pins on a printed circuit board comprises a ground plate (2), a housing (3) of dielectric material with cavities for receiving female contact members, at least one female signal contact member (4) and at least one female ground contact member. The (each) ground contact member is formed out of the ground plate unitary with the ground plate (2).

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
72 words
Connector for a cable for high frequency signals, in particular for connecting cables with contact pins on a printed circuit board, comprising a ground plate, a housing of dielectric material with cavities for receiving female contact members, at least one female signal contact member and at least one female ground contact member, charcterized in that the (each) ground contact member is formed out of the ground plate unitary with the ground plate.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
50 words
Connector according to claim 1, characterized in that a central part of the ground plate is bent into a U-shaped part, wherein contact springs are formed in the opposite legs of the U-shaped part, said contact springs being adapted to engage a ground contact pin insertable into the U-shaped part.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
57 words
Connector according to claim 1 or 2, characterized in that at least one end edge of the ground plate is bent into a U-shaped end part, wherein contact springs are formed in the opposite legs of the U-shaped edge part, said contact springs being adapted to engage a ground contact pin insertable into the U-shaped edge part.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
62 words
Connector according to claim 1 or 2, characterized in that the ground plate comprises edge parts substantially perpendicular to the main surface of the ground plate, wherein a ground contact spring is formed out of each edge part, said ground contact spring projecting into an adjacent cavity of the housing and adapted to engage a ground contact pin insertable into said cavity.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
18 words
Connector according to anyone of the preceding claims, characterized in that said ground plate encloses the corresponding housing.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
35 words
Connector according to anyone of claims 1-4, comprising successive housings each having a ground plate and female contact members, wherein the ground plate of one housing is also a ground plate for a preceding housing.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
88 words
Connector according to anyone of the preceding claims, characterized in that a plurality of housings with ground plate and female contact members are mounted in a second housing of insulating material, wherein each ground plate comprises at both sides a lateral extension with an edge part substantially perpendicular to the main surface of the ground plate, said edge part being located on an outer wall of the second housing and adapted to cooperate with a contact spring of a shielding plate of a connector with male contact pins.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
25 words
Connector according to claim 7, characterized in that each edge part comprises an obliquely bent end edge received in a slot of the second housing.
