A modular connector system for interconnecting printed circuit boards includes a first connector having an insulative housing supporting an array of blade-shaped contacts and a second connector having a complementary array of beam-shaped contacts. Preferably, each beam-shaped contact includes substantially independent coplanar beams which, in use, contact a common surface of a respective blade-shaped contact to provide multiple points of contact. The second connector includes a plurality of modules stacked in parallel. Each module includes a shield plate having an insulative receptacle attached at one end and a row of signal conductors, each having a beam-shaped contact at one end. Each insulative receptacle has a first side in which cavities are provided to receive the beam-shaped contacts of the signal conductor Each insulative receptacle further includes a second, opposite side in which holes are formed in substantial alignment with the cavities for receiving the blade-shaped contacts of the first connector.
