<p>A high density, high frequency connector system (10) has first and second mating connector members (12, 70) each member including a multi-row array of signal contact members (52, 102) disposed in columns, each said signal contact member being secured in a respective passageway. A multi-row array of ground contact members (58,110) is disposed between the columns of signal contact members (52, 102) each of the ground contact members (52, 102) having at least a body section secured in a respective profiled slot (42, 94). Each profiled slot (42, 94) has a width selected to be greater than the thickness of the ground body section and means for maintaining the respective ground body sections centered within the respective otherwise wider slot to define air reservoirs of a controlled width on both sides of each ground contact member. <IMAGE> <IMAGE></p> |
