Cable connectors with partition structure, their connector and terminal structure

Abstract

This invention provides a cable connector with a partitioned structure, its connector and terminal structure, comprising an insulating body, a terminal group, and a connecting member. The connecting member has a plate and a plurality of partitioned structures, the plate being connected to a grounding terminal, and two adjacent partitioned structures defining a contact space. The transmission line is housed in the contact space, allowing the conductive layer of the transmission line to make electrical contact with the connecting member and conduct through it to the grounding terminal, thereby establishing a low grounding impedance path and achieving the effects of enhanced shielding and interference suppression.
