Abstract

An electrical connector system includes a carrier assembly and a header. The carrier assembly includes a plurality of shielded connectors and a coaxial cable terminated to each of the shielded connectors. The header includes opposed grounding plates each having ground tabs configured for attachment to a circuit board and a plurality of pins disposed between the opposed plates in a stripline configuration. The coaxial cables of the carrier assembly electrically communicate with the circuit board through a stripline configuration of pins in the header.
