Abstract
An electrical connector includes a housing, signal modules, and ground plates. The signal modules and ground plates are arranged in a pattern that includes ground plates flanking corresponding pairs of signal modules within the housing. The signal modules have a dielectric body and signal conductors held within the dielectric body. The signal conductors include contact beams protruding from a front edge for electrical termination. Each ground plate has contact beams aligned with the contact beams of the signal modules to provide shielding therebetween. Each signal module has a lateral thickness that is greater than a thickness of each ground plate. The signal conductors of each signal module are offset relative to a central plane of the signal module such that contact spacings between adjacent contact beams are uniform. Optionally, ground tie bars extend through the signal modules and ground plates to electrically common the ground plates.
