Abstract
Abstract A high frequency serial bus connector is provided. The connector includes a main body within which a plurality of terminal members are respectively received for connection with the signal and power wires of a shielded cable. The connector also includes a wire clamping member that clamps securely together a power wire and the signal wire shielding meshes of the cable. The clamping member is formed with a clamping section from which an insertion pin extends longitudinally and an arcuate soldering plate extends laterally. The insertion pin engages a fixing cavity formed in the main body, while the soldering plate engages an adjacent terminal member.
