Abstract:
1. An electrical connector including a plug connector and a receptacle connector detachably fitted with each other, said plug connector comprising a plurality of coaxial cables each having a center conductor, an insulator covering said center conductor, a braid as an external conductor covering said insulator, and a sheath covering said braid; a flexible printed circuit board having lands each connected to said center conductors of the coaxial cable and land portions to which a ground bar is connected; and said ground bar having a main portion adapted to contact said braids and fixed portions each positioned contiguously with said main portion and connected to said land portions wherein said ground bar of the plug connector is provided with projection pieces which extend from the main portion of the ground bar and are adapted to contact the braids at locations between said center conductors of all the coaxial cables or at locations between said center conductors of every other coaxial cable, and wherein said ground bar is provided with protrusion pieces contiguously with said main portion of the ground bar at predetermined positions on the surface to contact the coaxial cables so that said protrusion pieces are adapted to pierce into the coaxial cables, thereby causing the protrusion pieces to contact the center conductors and the braids of the coaxial cables.
