High-speed data connector assembly

A method for assembling a high-speed data connector assembly having a first insulating half shell having at least two clamping receptacles, at least two electrical terminals inserted in the clamping receptacles, a second insulating half shell complementary to the first half shell, snap means configured to snap the first insulating half shell onto the second insulating half shell in a first direction while still allowing a shifting of the second insulating half shell relative to the first insulating half shell in a second direction transverse to the first direction and locking means configured to lock the first insulating half shell and the second insulating half shell against a movement in the second direction, comprising:

• clamping the at least two electrical terminals into the at least two clamping receptacles of the first insulating half shell;
• snapping the first insulating half shell onto the second insulating half shell in the first direction using the snap means;
• shifting the second insulating half shell relative to the first insulating half shell in the second direction) transverse to the first direction;
• and
• locking the first insulating half shell and the second insulating half shell against a movement in the second direction) using the locking means.
