Patent ID: 8597052

Claim:
A receptacle assembly comprising: a front housing configured for mating with a header assembly; and a plurality of contact modules coupled to the front housing, each contact module comprising: a conductive holder having an open first side and a closed second side, the conductive holder having a chamber between the first and second sides, the conductive holder having a front coupled to the front housing; a frame assembly received in the chamber through the open first side, the frame assembly comprising a first dielectric frame having a plurality of contacts and a second dielectric frame having a plurality of contacts, the first and second dielectric frames both being received in the chamber of the conductive holder such that the conductive holder surrounds the frame assembly and provides electrical shielding around the frame assembly, the contacts extending from the conductive holder for electrical termination; and a ground shield discrete from the conductive holder and coupled to the conductive holder and closing the open first side, the ground shield being electrically connected to the conductive holder, the ground shield having grounding beams extending forward of the front of the conductive holder for electrical connection to a corresponding header shield of the header assembly.
