Abstract:
A ground shield includes a plurality of contact members configured to contact the ground contacts of a column of contacts of an electrical connector, so as to electrically common the grounds to each other.

Claim (Index 1):
An electrical connector comprising:\n an electrically insulative connector housing; a plurality of electrical signal contacts supported by the connector housing, each of the signal contacts having a mating end and a mounting end; a plurality of ground contacts supported by the connector housing, each of the ground contacts having a mating end and a mounting end, wherein the electrical connector defines a plurality of columns that are spaced from each other along a lateral direction and each includes the mating ends of respective ones of plurality of the signal contacts and the mating ends of respective ones of the plurality of ground contacts an electrically conductive ground shield disposed between a first one of the columns and a second one of the columns with respect to the lateral direction, the ground shield having a shield body that defines a first side and a second side opposite the first side along the lateral direction, wherein the ground shield includes a plurality of contact members that extend out with respect to the shield body and are in contact with a respective at least two of the ground contacts, respectively, of the first one of the columns, and the shield body faces at least one of the signal contacts of the first one of the columns and is spaced along the lateral direction from the at least one of the signal contacts of the first one of the columns so as to define a gap therebetween; a first leadframe assembly that includes a first leadframe housing and the mating ends of the plurality of the signal contacts and the mating ends of the plurality of ground contacts of the first one of the columns; and a second leadframe that includes a second leadframe housing and the mating ends of the plurality of the signal contacts and the mating ends of the plurality of ground contacts of the second one of the columns.
