Abstract:
1. An electrical connector comprising a pin connector and a socket connector, said pin connector including a plurality of pin contacts, a required number of ground contacts and a block for holding said pin and ground contacts, said block including a fitting side and a connecting side for connecting to a board, and said socket connector including a plurality of socket contacts, a required number of ground contacts and a housing for holding said socket and ground contacts, wherein said block and housing are each formed from an insulating plastic material and formed with contact insertion apertures into which said contacts are inserted, and said block and housing each have metalized surfaces fully around said contact insertion apertures in a manner to electrically shield said contact insertion apertures for pin and socket contacts independently from one another, wherein said block of said pin connector is formed with grooves on either one, or both, of the fitting side of said block and the connecting side to a board to make independent said pin contacts from one another, while said block is provided with at least one groove portion around said ground contacts and with at least one further groove portion to communicate said at least one groove portion with said contact insertion apertures for said ground contacts, and wherein said housing of said socket connector is formed with groove portions on the fitting side of said housing to make independent said socket contacts from one another, while said housing is provided with at least one groove or groove portion around said ground contacts, and wherein said block of said pin connector is metallized on its surfaces around said contact insertion apertures for said pin contacts, while said ground contacts are each arranged between the pin contacts in columns or rows, and wherein said housing of said socket connector is metallized on its surfaces around said contact insertion apertures for said pocket contacts, while said ground contacts of said socket connector are arranged in positions corresponding to those of said wound contacts of said pin connector.
