Claim Text:
1. A connector module comprising: a housing having a front end and including a cover and a base, the cover being coupled to the base to define a cavity therebetween, the front end defining an opening to the cavity, the cavity configured to receive a circuit card that is loaded through the opening in a loading direction relative to the housing, the base having a top side and a bottom side, the top side facing the cover and defining part of the cavity, the base defining multiple windows that extend through the base between the top and bottom sides, the base including a conductive layer that is at least partially covered by a non-conductive layer; and a conductive lead frame coupled to the bottom side of the base, the lead frame including multiple contact beams that extend into the cavity through the windows of the base, the lead frame being electrically isolated from the conductive layer of the base by the non-conductive layer of the base, the lead frame further including multiple mounting contacts configured to be mounted to conductive components of a circuit board.
