Abstract
Module terminals comprising a column of right angle contacts are assembled to a housing module for receiving post header terminals at one end and inserted into complimentary holes of a printed circuit board on the other end. Interposed between adjacent terminal modules are shielding members that serve to limit crosstalk between adjacent rows of contacts. The shielding members are attached to over-moulded insulative webs of the terminal module and are resiliently biased thereagainst so that they ensure good contact of an integral grounding pin with one of the right angle contacts of the terminal module and also to ensure a flush fit of the grounding shield against the terminal module.
