Abstract
An electrical connector incorporates a ground strap conductor that more efficiently grounds the shield of a multi-conductor shielded cable. The ground strap conductor at one end includes a spring contact portion which is indistinguishable structurally and functionally from the spring contact portions of the normal conductors of the connector. The other end of the ground strap conductor is of greatly increased surface area in order to provide a wide, short path to ground for the high frequency EMI and high voltage spikes. A solder post tip is provided for terminating the ground strap after insertion through an aperture in a PCB, and the invention is particularly designed for use with telephone-type modular jacks and modular shielded cables terminated in telephone-type modular plugs.
