Claim:
1. A ground contact module comprising: a ground leadframe having ground contacts extending between corresponding mating ends and terminating ends thereof with transition portions between the mating ends and the terminating ends, the transition portions being generally planar between a first side and a second side of the ground leadframe; and a ground dielectric body holding the ground leadframe, the ground dielectric body having at least one low loss layer overmolded over the ground leadframe and encasing the transition portions of the ground contacts, the at least one low loss layer defining pockets, the ground dielectric body having lossy wings received in corresponding pockets, the lossy wings being electrically coupled to corresponding ground contacts, the lossy wings being manufactured from lossy material capable of absorbing electrical resonance propagating through a contact module stack, the lossy wings being separate and discrete from the at least one low loss layer and being attached to the at least one low loss layer in proximity to the corresponding ground contacts, wherein each lossy wing is electrically coupled to only one of the ground contacts.
