High density electrical connector with shield plate louvers

摘要

An electrical assembly has a lead frame with a plurality of elongated conductor sets and an insulative housing. Each conductor set has two differential signal pair conductors between a first ground conductor and a second ground conductor. A slot extends through the insulative housing and at least partially exposes the first ground conductor of a first conductor set and the second ground conductor of a second conductor set. A first ground shield has a first tab bent inward that extends into the slot from a first side of the lead frame. A second ground shield has second tab bent inward that extends into the slot from a second side of the lead frame. A conductive medium is provided in the slot to electrically connect the first tab, the second tab, the first ground conductor and the second ground conductor.

主权项

1. An electrical assembly comprising:
a lead frame having at least one elongated conductor, said lead frame having a first side and a second side opposite the first side; a first ground shield at the first side of said lead frame, said first ground shield defining a first plane and having a first integral louver extending out of the first plane to connect with the at least one elongated conductor of said lead frame; and a second ground shield at the second side of said lead frame, said second ground shield defining a second plane and having a second integral louver extending out of the second plane to connect with the at least one elongated conductor of said lead frame.
