Abstract:
An electrical connector engagable with a complementary connector for transmitting high frequency signals, comprising:an insulative housing; first and second contact subassemblies being received in said insulative housing and each having a plurality of contacts; at least one magnetic module having upper pins and lower pins conductively connecting with said upper pins, some of said upper pins being selected to electrically connect with said contacts of said first and second contact subassemblies, respectively, rest ones of said upper pins being mechanically attached onto said first and second contact subassemblies; and wherein said upper pins of each magnetic module are disposed on a top face of said magnetic module and said lower pins are disposed on a bottom face of said magnetic module; and a metal plate attached to said at least one of magnetic module for grounding purpose, said metal plate having at least one finger fixed into said at least one magnetic module; and a filter means having capacitors and resistors electrically connecting with said at least on magnetic module; and a metal shield substantially enclosing said housing; and wherein said first and second contact subassemblies each have a printed circuit board with said contacts conductively thereto; and wherein said two printed circuit boards are stackedly arranged and spaced from each other a predetermined distance; and wherein said at least one magnetic module is positioned below rear portions of said two printed circuit boards; and wherein said metal plate provide an upper grounding pin adapted for conductively connecting to said filter means and a lower grounding pin adapted for conductively connecting to a mother board on which said electrical connector is mounted; and wherein said housing defines a pair of receiving holes, and said contacts of said first and second contact subassemblies are respectively received in said receiving holes for electrically connecting to the complementary connector.
