Abstract:
An electrical connector comprising:a dielectric housing comprising a first housing and a second housing assembled to the first housing, the first housing forming a plurality of ribs defining parallel channels therebetween, the channels extending in a mating direction of the electrical connector, a plurality of bumps extending downward from an upper wall of the dielectric housing in a vertical alignment with each channel; a spacer assembled in the housing and including a plurality of wafers, each wafer having a dielectric base, a plurality of terminals attached on a side of the dielectric base and a grounding bus mainly attached on the other side of the dielectric base; and a plurality of circuit boards mounted between two adjacent wafers and an upper face of each circuit board abutting against a corresponding bump, said each circuit board electrically connecting with the terminals and the grounding bus; wherein the bump in each channel is inclined 45 degrees relative to the mating direction of the electrical connector; wherein the grounding bus has a contacting leg extending to the side of the dielectric base on which the terminals are attached.
