An electrical connector plug, especially for use on circuit boards and electronic device interfaces, includes a synthetic material plug body (2) having narrow slots (5) provided therein. The slots (5) surround contact chambers (3) provided in the plug body (2). Electrically conducting shielding elements (6) are inserted in the slots (5) and are interconnected in a conducting manner as necessary to provide a shielding potential cage around the conducting contacts. In this manner a substantially coaxial shielding is provided around each electrical conductor contact (4). The shielded connector plug has substantially the same overall dimensions and the same contact pin configuration as conventional connector plugs and it is not necessary to sacrifice any of the conductor pin contacts to provide shielding contacts. By appropriately selecting materials for the components of the connector plug, magnetic shielding effects and filter effects can be achieved in the connector plug.
An electrical connector plug comprising a non-conductive synthetic material block-shaped plug body having at least one contact chamber and at least one slot formed within said plug body, an electrically conducting main contact member arranged in said contact chamber, and an electrically conducting shielding element arranged in said slot to be enclosed by said synthetic material of said plug body, wherein said slot and said shielding element extend substantially around and substantially over the entire length of said main contact member.
