Abstract
Abstract Screens or shields about multi-conductor electric cables are electrically joined simultaneously with the conductors through a plug and socket connection. Each plug and socket has a screening plate contactingly engaged with the cable shield via a cable clamp securing the cable to the plug or socket housing. The two screening plates are electrically connected by usual pins and pin-sockets upon the plug and socket members.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim
150 words
An electrical connector for removably joining together first and second cables, comprising a plug member and a socket member, the plug member having a plurality of pins and the socket member having a corresponding plurality of sockets engageable with said pins, the pins and sockets extending substantially transversely of said cables, wherein each of said plug and socket members is adapted for use with a shielded cable having a lesser plurality of conductors, by said members each further comprising: an electrically-conductive cable clamp connectable to a shield on a respective cable; and an electrically-conductive, flat screening plate affixed to and extending along said member outwardly adjacent the respective pins or sockets and having electric contact with said cable clamp and with at least one of said pins and sockets, whereby the cable screens are simultaneously removably joined together at said electrical connector with joining of the conductors of said cables.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
