Abstract
An electrical connector (1) includes a dielectric housing (2) defining a number of parallel slots (23), a number of terminals (5, 5′, 7) arranged in rows in the housing, and a number of parallelly arranged circuit boards (3) received in corresponding slots of the housing. The terminals have contacting beams (52, 52′, 72) electrically connecting with the circuit boards, and tail portions (54, 54′, 74) for electrical connection to a printed circuit board on which the connector is mounted. A shield member (4, 4′) substantially encloses the housing and the circuit boards. The shield member includes a number of inwardly extruded lances (45) located between adjacent circuit boards and electrically contacting with the circuit boards.
