Abstract

An electrical connector (100) includes a unitary insulative housing (1) defining a number of parallel slots (13), a number of parallelly arranged circuit board modules (3) and a shield member (2) attached to the housing. The circuit board modules are retained by and between the shield member and the housing. Each circuit board module includes a dielectric spacer (30), a circuit board (36) attached to the dielectric spacer and received in a corresponding slot of the housing, and a row of press-fit contacts (38) mechanically and electrically connecting with the circuit board and disposed in the corresponding slot.
