Abstract
An electrical connector includes an insulative housing, a number of signal contacts, a number of shielding plates and a grounding member touching the shielding plates so that the shielding plates are jointly connected with each other. The shielding plates are assembled to the insulative housing and disposed between the signal contacts of adjacent columns. Each shielding plate includes a tab projecting into a base of the insulative housing. No mounting tail for establishing connection between the shielding plates and a circuit board is set on any of the shielding plates. Instead, the grounding member comprises a number of mounting tails for being connected to the circuit board so as to establish electrical connection between the shielding plates and the circuit board.
