Abstract
A miniature electrical connector (10) having two rows of closely spaced signal contacts (40) extending from a board-mounting face (30) to a mating face (32), and having extended height. An insert (100) is assembled within a large cavity (36) of the housing (20) to define inner walls of passageways of the housing containing the contacts (40). A planar metal member (102) of the insert can define a ground bus for preventing crosstalk between the two rows of contacts, or can facilitate assembly and retention of the insert in the housing, or both, providing very thin elongate inner walls for the contact passageways while simplifying molding of the housing.
