Connector for coaxial ribbon cable

A connector for a coaxial ribbon cable, which consists of a male connector and a female connector, said male connector comprising:

• an insulation case with a partition wall;
• a plurality of signal terminals mounted on one side of said partition wall of said insulation case for connection with a plurality of signal lines of a coaxial ribbon cable;
• a plurality of ground terminals mounted on the other side of said partition wall for connection with a plurality of drain lines of said coaxial ribbon cable to form microstrip lines together with said signal terminals;
• said female connector comprising:
• a second insulation case with a second partition wall;
• a plurality of second signal terminals mounted on one side of said second partition wall for contact with said first signal terminals;
• a plurality of second ground terminals for contact with said second ground terminals on the other side of said second partition wall and form second microstrip lines together with said second signal terminals, thereby providing an impedance match,
• wherein said male connector further comprises a plurality of shield terminals provided between the signal terminals such that they are brought into contact with said first ground terminals;
• and
• said female connector further comprises a plurality of second shield terminals provided between said second signal terminals which are connected to a ground of a board and brought into contact with said shield terminals so that said shield terminals are grounded through said second shield terminals of said female connector thereby not only preventing cross-talk but also reducing noise.
