(54)	Connector with integrated PCB assembly

(57) Shielded pair or twinax connectors constructed from printed circuit board modules (30) are disclosed. The printed circuit boards (31) include mirror-image pairs of terminal conductors (32), with appropriate electrical shielding (33,36,38). The connectors can be board-mounted or cable mounted. The cable connectors can be constructed from a PCB assembly having a cover (100) with a retention structure (102) for a cable or other flexible conductor.
