Abstract: An electrical connector system with a receptacle and plug. The receptacle has a metal housing encircling an insulative housing. A side wall of the metal housing is separated from a corresponding side wall of the insulative housing, leaving a groove. The plug has a wall, extending from an insulative housing of the plug, parallel to a paddle card. The metal housing may be shaped to engage with the wall during mating of the plug and receptacle, facilitating alignment of the paddle card and plug interface of the receptacle. The wall may also carry latching components, which may latch to corresponding features of the metal housing, reducing the height of the mated connectors in comparison to configurations in which the latching components are mounted to the insulative housing of the plug. The receptacle housing may have asymmetric support parts, providing support in a compact space.

Abstract: A compact, high performance electrical connector with a smooth insertion loss profile over a broad range of operating frequencies. The electrical connector has a mating interface with a slot that may receive a mating component, such as a paddle card of a plug connector. Rows of terminals line opposing sides of the slots. Terminals in each of the rows may be held together by an insulative seat body shaped to receive on side of a lossy member. The lossy member may have extension parts extending towards selected ones of the terminals in the rows that act as ground terminals, such that the lossy member is electrically coupled to the ground terminals and electrically isolated from the signal terminals. The connector, even though compact, may be easily assembly by first forming terminal subassemblies comprising two rows of terminals and lossy member, and then inserting the terminal subassemblies into an insulative body.
