Abstract: An electrical connector (1) straddle-mounted on an edge (20) of a printed circuit board (2) includes an insulative housing (10) having an elongated groove (11) for mating. A support subassembly (3) is inserted from the opposing side of the housing (10) to expose its portions in the groove (11). The support subassembly (3) includes two bases (30) with attached signal conductors (5) and a U-shaped ground member (4). Two parallel-arranged side portions (40) of the U-shaped ground member (4) are integrally connected via its central portion and each of them is located parallel to a row of signal conductors (5) as their ground reference. The united ground member (4) can be used to establish ground path to the printed circuit board (2) by fewer contacting legs (42) sheared therefrom and help all parts of the support subassembly (3) to be installed in the connector housing (10) at one time.

The contact insert includes two insert subassemblies (30, 40), and a noise suppressing device (60) assembled to the two insert subassemblies. Each insert subassembly has a circuit board (31, 41) and a set of contacts (32, 42) electrically connecting to the circuit board. The noise suppressing device includes two magnetic modules (33, 43) and a third circuit board (51). The magnetic modules each include upward pins (331, 431), downward pins (332, 432), and magnetic coils conductively interconnecting the upward and downward pins. The upward pins are selected to electrically connect to either the two circuit boards or the third circuit board, and the downward pins are adapted for being mounted onto the mother board.

Abstract: An electrical connector assembly (1) includes an insulating housing (2) and an electrical subassembly (3) disposed within the housing. The housing defines a receiving space (23) in a rear face (202), and at least one groove (26) and recess (28) extending in a back-to-front direction beside the receiving space. The electrical subassembly includes first and second printed circuit boards (320, 340) each having at least one side conductor (325, 345) attached thereon, a pair of magnetic modules (300, 300′) respectively connecting with the first and second PCBs for suppressing noise, and a metal plate (4) sandwiched between the magnetic modules. The metal plate has at least one projection (48). When the electrical subassembly is assembled to the housing through the receiving space, the at least one side conductor and projection are respectively received in the at least one groove and recess, thereby ensuring the electrical subassembly being accurately inserted into the housing.

Abstract: An electrical connector (1) includes an insulative member (10) defining two rows of slanted cavities (30) along a longitudinal direction thereof, two rows of conductive contacts (12) obliquely received in corresponding slanted cavities and two grounding plates (32) with over-molded insulative inserts (34) attached to the insulative member. Each grounding plate electrically contacts some selected conductive contacts via ribs (39) thereof, which are therefore grounding contacts, and is isolated from the other conductive contacts, which are therefore signal contacts. Each grounding plate has a number of enlarged tails (38) for elastically engaging with corresponding plated holes (54) in a mother board (46) that the electrical connector is adapted to be mounted on. The conductive contacts slide along the mother board upon insertion of a daughter board (52) to the electrical connector.
