Abstract
An electrical connector includes an insulative housing (110; 310), a number of wafers (130; 350) accommodated in the insulative housing, and a number of inner printed circuit boards (120; 320). Each wafer has a wafer body (131; 3113), a number of electrical contacts (132; 330) mounted to the wafer body and a grounding bus (133; 340) mounted to the wafer body. Each inner printed circuit board has a mounting portion (124; 324) detachably inserted between two adjacent wafers to electrically contact with the signal contacts and the grounding buses and a mating portion (123; 323) adapted for engaging with a complementary electrical connector.
