  • Ground shield contact member
    Patent number: 12725985
    Abstract: An electrical connector with a housing having at least one slot for receiving an electrical wafer therein. Signal contacts are positioned on a first side of the at least one slot. The signal contact resilient contact arms exert a first normal force on the electrical wafer inserted in the at least one slot. At least one ground shield contact member is positioned on a second side of the at least one slot. The ground shield resilient contact arms exert a second normal force on the wafer inserted in the at least one slot. The second normal force exerted by the ground shield resilient contact arms is greater than the first normal force exerted by the signal contact resilient contact arms. The wafer is biased toward the signal contact resilient contact arms of the signal contacts regardless of a thickness of the wafer.
