Connectors and contacts for a single twisted pair of conductors

Abstract

48 Abstract An aspect of the present disclosure is directed to a connector. The connector is suited to connectorizing exactly two conductors. The connector includes a forward connector body, a rear connector body, a metal frame and exactly two electrical contacts. The rear connector body interfaces with the forward connector body. Further, the metal frame, which includes a shielding interface, surrounds at least a portion of both the forward and rear connector bodies. The electrical contacts extend from the rear connector body into the forward connector body. A first of the electrical contacts is electrically coupled to a first conductor of a shielded cable and the second of the electrical contacts is electrically coupled to a second conductor of the shielded cable. The shield interface of the metal frame is electrically coupled to the shield of the shielded cable. Abstract forward and rear connector bodies. The electrical contacts extend from the rear connector 48 20 26 20 60 71 14 J ul 2 02 6 2 0 2 6 2 0 6 0 7 1 1 4 J u l 2 0 2 6 f o r w a r d a n d r e a r c o n n e c t o r b o d i e s .
