Abstract
An electrical connector comprises a plurality of conductive contacts arranged in a matrix pattern with a space left from one another and a conductive ground member disposed in the space. The ground member comprises a plurality of first ground plates and a plurality of second ground plates combined with the first ground plates. Each of the first ground plates has a plurality of first slit portions. Each of the second ground plates has a plurality of second slit portions. The contacts are received in one-to-one correspondence in a plurality of contact receiving portions defined by combining the first and the second ground plates in a lattice fashion in the state that the second and the first ground plates are inserted in the first and the second slit portions, respectively. Each of the first slit portions has at least one contacting portion contacted with the second ground plate inserted therein.
