Abstract:
An electrical connector includes a dielectric housing, a plurality of electrical signal contacts carried by the dielectric housing, and a ground plate carried by the dielectric housing. The electrical signal contacts are arranged along a first plane, wherein the signal contacts define signal pairs. The signal contacts further define respective mating and mounting ends. The ground plate includes a ground plate body oriented in a second plane that is substantially parallel to the first plane and offset from the first plane. The ground plate body defines first and second opposed surfaces. The ground plate includes at least one rib that defines first and second opposed surfaces, wherein the first surface of the rib projects from the first surface of the ground plate body in a direction toward the first plane between adjacent signal pairs, and the second surface is recessed into the second surface of the ground plate body.

Claim (Index 11):
An electrical connector comprising:\n an organizer; and a plurality of leadframe assemblies supported by the organizer, each leadframe assembly comprising:\n a dielectric housing comprising a mating portion and a mounting portion, \n a column of conductive mating portions exposed at the mating portion of the dielectric housing; \n a column of conductive mounting portions exposed at the mounting interface; \n a plurality of electrical signal contacts supported by the dielectric housing, wherein the plurality of electrical signal contacts comprise intermediate portions joining respective mating portions in the column of conductive mating portions and respective mounting portions of the column of conductive mounting portions, at least some of the plurality of signals contacts being arranged in differential pairs, wherein adjacent differential pairs are separated by respective gaps; and \n a ground plate supported by the dielectric housing and comprising a plurality of ribs, each of the plurality of ribs projecting from a surface of the ground plate toward a respective gap, wherein:\n the ground plate is electrically coupled to a plurality of mating portions in the column of conductive mating portions and a plurality of mounting portions of the column of conductive mounting portions, \n the mating portions electrically coupled to the ground plate are disposed between mating portions of adjacent ones of the differential pairs, and \n the mounting portions electrically coupled to the ground plate are disposed between mounting portions of adjacent ones of the differential pairs.
