Abstract
Abstract This invention relates to a connector for multi-unit coaxial cable of the type wherein each center conductor has a individual shield and each shield has a separate drain wire. More particularly, the connector includes a plurality of contact members each of which consists of an opposing cantilever contact spring section for mating with contact elements of other electrical circuits, a dual in-line cantilever, torsion bar terminating section for receiving either the coaxial cable center conductor or the drain wire, a housing to hold the plurality of contact members and a strain relief clamp member.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
163 words
A connector for connecting a coaxial ribbon cable of the type having a plurality of signal-carrying conductors and drain wires, to contact elements of other electrical circuits, which comprises: a. a housing of insulating material having a plurality of cavities extending therethrough; b. a plurality of contact members positioned in the cavities in the housing, each contact member having on one end contact means for resiliently engaging contact elements of other electrical circuits and on another end, terminal means for receiving either the signal-carrying conductor or the drain wire; and c. strain relief means for relieving strain on the coaxial ribbon cable which may be terminated therein, said means including two identical halves, each half having a surface containing a plurality of inwardly projecting lances for engaging the coaxial ribbon cable, some of the lances pointing in one axial direction and other of such lances pointing in the opposite axial direction, said halves further having thereon means for being fastened to said housing.
