Cable assembly module with compressive connector

An electronic wiring assembly comprising:

• a printed wiring element;
• a cable assembly having opposed ends, one end connected to the printed wiring element;
• the cable assembly comprising a plurality of wires each having a plurality of signal conductor and a surrounding shield;
• the cable assembly having a terminal element at at least one end and connected to each of the wires;
• the terminal element having opposed major faces, and having an array of first contacts formed on a first face to which the signal conductors of the wires are respectively connected, and an array of second contacts formed on the opposed face, each of the first contact being electrically connected by a way of a conductive path extending between the top surface and the bottom surface to a corresponding second contact;
• and
• each of the second contacts overlaying and compressively contacting a corresponding contact in an array of conductive contacts on the printed wiring element.
