A double row connector is provided having an upper row and a lower row of a signal contacts with spring arm contact sections thereof projecting forwardly thereof from horizontal body sections of contact members. The contact members also have vertical body sections extending vertically from a side of the horizontal body sections and secured in vertical slots of a dielectric spacer block, and the horizontal body sections of upper contacts are disposed adjacent the upper surface of the spacer, and those of lower contacts are disposed adjacent the lower surface. Vertical body sections of the upper and lower contacts alternate along the spacer. The upper subassembly thus formed is secured to an upper surface of a planar insert having a ground plane secured to its lower surface, comprising a lower subassembly to form a contact assembly. Signal conductors of trilead cables are welded to ferrules of signal contacts, which ferrules extend rearwardly from the signal contacts beyond the spacer and are aligned adjacent the planar insert. Ground conductors are welded to the ground plane. Upper ground contacts are similar to the upper signal contacts with contact sections and horizontal and vertical body sections and have tabs extending downward through the planar insert and the ground plane and are bent over, securing the upper subassembly to the lower subassembly and electrically engaging the ground plane. The entire assembly is overmolded with plastic to form an overmolded contact assembly and a forward housing member may be latchingly secured to the overmolded assembly. Contacts for use with the spacer are disclosed.
