High speed electrical connector assembly with shieldding system

摘要

A high speed electrical connector assembly (1) comprises a female connector (2) and a male connector (3) assembled together to be electrical connection to a printed circuit board (9). A plurality of differential pairs of signal contact (51) and a plurality pairs of ground contact (53) with the pairs of signal contacts (51) arranged therebetween are secured in the connector assembly (1). Each of the differential pairs of signal contact (51) has a first contact engaging portion (511) which is accessible from the female connector (2), and includes a second contact engaging portion (513), extending away from the first engaging portion (511) and accessible from the male connector (3). A shielding bus (10) is electrically interconnecting to at least one of the ground contact (53), and includes a shroud portion substantially enclosing the median portion of the pair of signal contacts (51).
