Electrical connector with internal shield

摘要

An electrical connector has an insulating housing (10) with an interior cavity (202) for receiving a mating connector and a plurality of openings in communication with the interior cavity (202). A plurality of contacts (206), each of which extends into the interior cavity (202) of the housing (10) from a respective one of the openings, electrically contacts conductors in the mating connector inserted into the interior cavity (202) of the housing (10). An internal shield (216) extends into the interior cavity (202) from a respective one of the openings and is positioned between the plurality of contacts (206) to create at least two groups (212) of contacts.
