Abstract: An electrical connector comprises an outer housing, an insulating housing installed on the outer housing, a pair of terminal assemblies, and a shielding member. The terminal assemblies are installed in the insulating housing and are spaced apart from each other in a first direction to define an insertion space therebetween adapted to receive a connection terminal of a mating connector. Each terminal assembly includes a plurality of conductive terminals arranged in rows in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. The plurality of conductive terminals of each terminal assembly include a signal terminal and a ground terminal. The shielding member is positioned at least partially between the two terminal assemblies in the first direction and includes a contact arm in electrical contact with the ground terminal.

Abstract: A contact assembly for an electrical connector signal contacts arranged in pairs and ground contacts are interspersed with the pairs of the signal contacts. Each signal contact includes a signal contact body having first and second sides extending between a signal mating end and a signal terminating end. Each ground contact includes a ground contact body having first and second sides extending between a ground mating end and a ground terminating end. The contact assembly includes a ground shield assembly including a ground shield spanning across the contacts and ground connective elements electrically connected to the ground shield and the corresponding ground contacts. The ground connective elements are compressible.
