High-speed card edge connector

摘要

An electrical connector (1) includes an insulative member (10) defining two rows of slanted cavities (30) along a longitudinal direction thereof, two rows of conductive contacts (12) obliquely received in corresponding slanted cavities and two grounding plates (32) with over-molded insulative inserts (34) attached to the insulative member. Each grounding plate electrically contacts some selected conductive contacts via ribs (39) thereof, which are therefore grounding contacts, and is isolated from the other conductive contacts, which are therefore signal contacts. Each grounding plate has a number of enlarged tails (38) for elastically engaging with corresponding plated holes (54) in a mother board (46) that the electrical connector is adapted to be mounted on. The conductive contacts slide along the mother board upon insertion of a daughter board (52) to the electrical connector.
