Conductive frame for an electrical connector

A conductive frame for an electrical connector, the ground ring comprising:

• a base portion;
• and
• an insertion end extending away from the base portion, wherein a shape of the insertion end above a horizontal plane bisecting the insertion end is the same as the shape of the insertion end below the horizontal plane and a shape of the insertion end on one side of a vertical plane bisecting the insertion end is the same as the shape of the insertion end on the other side of the vertical plane, the insertion end further having:
• width, height and length dimensions;
• first and second opposing exterior surfaces extending in the width and length dimensions, the first exterior surface including a first opening and the second exterior surface including a second opening directly opposite the first opening and having a same shape as the first opening;
• a first face extending perpendicularly between the base portion and the first exterior surface;
• a second face extending perpendicularly between the base portion and the second exterior surface;
• third and fourth opposing exterior surfaces extending between the first and second exterior surfaces in the height and length dimensions, the third exterior surface including a first recess positioned within a last one third of a length of the insertion end, the fourth exterior surface including a second recess positioned directly opposite the first recess and having the same shape as the first recess;
• an end surface extending in the width and height dimensions at a distal end of the frame between the first and second opposing outer surfaces and between the third and fourth opposing outer surfaces;
• and
• a cavity extending in the length, width and height dimensions into the insertion end from an opening in the base portion, wherein the cavity is formed between the first, second, third and fourth exterior surfaces and ends at the end surface.
