Abstract
A straddle mount connector (1) includes a dielectric housing (2) defining a mating surface (200) and an opposite mounting surface (202), a pair of ground buses (4) and two rows of signal contacts (3) installed into the housing from the mounting surface. Each ground bus is accompanied with a carrier strip (46) and has solder tails (42) extending from the carrier strip. The ground bus has a number of fingers (460) extending from the carrier strip to define a number of parallel slits (462) between the fingers. The signal contacts have terminal portions (32) extending through the parallel slits, thereby keeping the signal contacts retained between the fingers of the ground bus.
