Abstract
A connector assembly for printed circuit boards, comprises a first connector element with a first housing of insulating material and regularly arranged male signal and ground contacts connectable to a printed circuit board, and a second connector element with a second housing of insulating material, which can be inserted with an insertion side into the first housing, and with regularly arranged female signal and ground contacts with a connection element. These female contacts will contact the corresponding male contacts when the second housing is received in the first housing. The second connector element is provided with a plurality of outer conductors, each of said outer conductors mainly enclosing at least one signal contact in a circumferential direction and each of said outer conductors being adapted to contact the adjacent ground contacts of the/each corresponding signal contact of the first connector element.
