Panel mount, cable terminable connector with die cast housing and drawn shell

An electrical connector for terminating to conductors of a cable and for mounting through an aperture in a panel, said electrical connector comprising:

• an electrically conductive die cast housing adapted to be mounted to the panel proximate the aperture therein, said housing having an aperture therein;
• a drawn shell having an aperture, said drawn shell adapted to be received in the die cast housing and electrically commoned therewith, said drawn shell adapted to be received in the panel aperture;
• an insulating insert adapted to be received and secured in the drawn shell aperture, said insert having terminals disposed in two rows therein, said terminals each having a mating portion and a cable conductor engaging portion, said cable conductor engaging portions adapted to be terminated to respective conductors of the cable;
• and
• a rear face on said insert, said terminals each defining an axis, each said cable conductor engaging portion extending beyond said rear face and formed to be an insulation displacing member having a slot therein, said slot extending beyond said die cast housing,
• whereby the shell provides shielding for the terminals with the die cast housing being electrically commoned with the shell and providing an electrical path to ground on the panel.
