Abstract
A card edge connector includes a housing configured to be mounted to a host circuit board and having a card slot at the front configured to receive a card edge of a module circuit card of the pluggable module. A contact assembly is received in a cavity of the housing having cable contacts arranged in an upper contact set and lower contact set. An upper ground bus bar is electrically connected to terminating ends of the ground contacts of the upper contact set and a lower ground bus bar is electrically connected to the ground contacts of the lower contact set. A ground element is coupled to the upper ground bus bar or the lower ground bus bar and includes a board termination component configured to be terminated to the host circuit board to electrically connect the corresponding ground bus bar to the host circuit board.
