Electrical connector for terminating a cable

An electrical connector comprising:

• a cable having a wire and a shield providing electrical shielding around the wire;
• an electrical contact configured to be terminated to an end of the wire of the cable;
• and
• a housing having a dielectric member and an electrically conductive material extending on the dielectric member, the electrical contact being held by the housing, the housing extending from a mating end to a cable end, the housing being configured to mate with a mating connector at the mating end, the cable end comprising a shield fitting that holds an end of the shield of the cable such that the shield is engaged with and electrically connected to the electrically conductive material of the housing.

An electrical connector for terminating a cable, the electrical connector comprising:

• an electrical contact configured to be terminated to an end of a wire of the cable;
• a housing having a dielectric member and an electrically conductive material extending on the dielectric member, the electrical contact being held by the housing, the housing extending from a mating end to a cable end, the housing being configured to mate with a mating connector at the mating end, the cable end comprising a shield fitting having a base and first and second flanges extending radially outward from the base, the first and second flanges being spaced apart along a length of the shield fitting such that a groove is defined between the first and second flanges, the shield fitting being configured to hold an end of the shield of the cable such that the shield extends over the first flange and into the groove and such that the electrically conductive material of the housing is engaged with, and electrically connected to, the shield;
• and
• a boot configured to be mounted to the shield fitting such that the boot extends over the end of the shield and over the second flange.
