  • CONNECTOR WITH SHIELDED TERMINALS
    Publication number: 20240405483
    Abstract: A number of connectors and related methods that allow for high data rate transmissions are described. An example connector includes a housing and a wafer. The water includes signal conductors, a ground conductors, a flexible shield, and a rigid shield. The flexible shield includes terminal end portions, cantilever spring end portions, and a flexible shield body between the terminal end portions and the cantilever spring end portions. The flexible shield body covers a first portion of the ground conductors, and the rigid shield covers a second portion of the ground conductors.
    Type: Application
