Abstract
An electrical connector for mounting on a printed circuit board includes an insulative housing having an upper contact module and a lower contact module. A row of upper contacts are retained in the upper contact module and a row of lower contacts are retained in the lower contact module. The row of upper contacts and the row of lower contacts includes plural conductive contacts and a pair of grounding contacts located at opposite sides of the conductive contacts. Each conductive contact is covered by matching surfaces of the upper contact module and the lower contact module, and each grounding contact is exposed on the matching surfaces of the upper contact module and the lower contact module. A shielding plate contacts the pair of grounding contacts in an up-to-down direction.
