<p>A socket connector (100) includes a plurality of connector modules (106) configured for insertion into a socket housing (102). Each connector module (106) is formed to include a plurality of laterally extending passageways (230) which are interleaved with a plurality of conductive paths (202) therein. A plurality of vertical shields (108) are configured for insertion into the socket housing (102). Each vertical shield (108), extending along a first side (232) of a connector module (106), is formed to include a plurality of laterally extending passageways (270) in substantial alignment with the passageways (230) in the connector modules (106). A plurality of horizontal tailshields (110) are configured for insertion into the plurality of laterally extending passageways (230, 270) in the connector modules (106) and the first shields (108). The horizontal tailshields (110) are electrically coupled to the vertical shields (108) to form a coaxial shield around each conductive path (202).</p> |
