Abstract
An electrical connector assembly comprises an outer shield member and a plurality of insert subassemblies received in the outer shield member. A shielding system is provided to include the outer shield member, a plurality of rear shield members attached to the corresponding insert subassemblies, and a plurality of inner shield members respectively fixed in the corresponding insert subassemblies. The outer shield member defines a plurality of accommodating chambers arranged in upper and lower rows for receiving the insert subassemblies. Each insert subassembly includes a base member, a lower contact module containing a plurality of first contacts, the inner shield member, an upper contact module containing a plurality of second contacts, a positioning member and a rear shield member. Each inner shield member is positioned between the first contacts and the second contacts for preventing cross-talk therebetween. Each rear shield member is attached to the back of the corresponding insert subassembly for cooperating with the outer shield member and the inner shield members to complete the shielding of the whole connector assembly.
