Electrical connectors having differential pairs

摘要

An electrical connector (102) includes a conductive shell (200) having a chamber (210) and having a mating end (212) and a cable end (214). An insert assembly (202) is received in the chamber (210) and includes a module (230) having a plurality of channels (238). The module (230) is conductive and provides peripheral electrical shielding entirely around each of the channels (238) for an entire length of each of the channels (238). The module (230) engages and is electrically commoned with the shell (200). The insert assembly (202) also includes insulator housings (240) each holding a pair of contacts (122). The insulator housings (240) are received in corresponding channels (238) and electrically insulate the contacts from the module (230). Each pair of contacts is electrically shielded from each other pair of contacts by the module (230). A back shell (204) is coupled to the cable end (214) of the shell (200) and holds the insert assembly (202) in the chamber (210) of the shell (200).
