Abstract
An electrical connector includes an insulative housing, a plurality of first and second contacts retained in the insulative housing and a metallic ground. Each first contact comprises a first contact portion and a first mounting portion. Each second contact comprises a second contact portion and a second mounting portion. The first and second mounting portions are respectively arranged in first and second rows. The second contacts comprise a grounding contact. The ground piece comprises an elastic contact beam for abutting against the grounding contact so that the surface of the grounding contact is expanded. As a result, cross-talk occurred between the contacts can be decreased.
