Abstract
An electrical connector includes a conductive shell having a chamber and having a mating end and a cable end. An insert assembly is received in the chamber and includes a module having a plurality of channels. The module is conductive and provides peripheral electrical shielding entirely around each of the channels for an entire length of each of the channels. The module engages and is electrically commoned with the shell. The insert assembly also includes insulator housings each holding a pair of contacts. The insulator housings are received in corresponding channels and electrically insulate the contacts from the module. Each pair of contacts is electrically shielded from each other pair of contacts by the module. A backshell is coupled to the cable end of the shell and holds the insert assembly in the chamber of the shell.
