A connector module comprises an insulating body, and further comprises a plurality of signal contact elements and a plurality of shield contact elements forming a connector face configured for establishing electric contact with a counterpart of the connector module. For each of the signal contact elements, there exist two or at most three shield contact elements that are closer to this signal contact element than any signal contact element of the plurality of signal contact elements. The signal contact elements are arranged along a first curve extending in the connector face of the connector module and the shield contact elements are arranged along a second curve extending in the connector face of the connector module, the first curve and the second curve being parallel curves having a predefined normal distance. Viewed along the course of the parallel curves, the signal contact elements and the shield contact elements are arranged alternatingly.

Connector module and connector for transmitting HF signals

A component for an electrical connector, said component bearing a field of electrically conducting signal elements () electrically insulated from each other and a field of electrically conducting shield elements (), the shield elements being electrically interconnected with each other. For each of the signal elements (), in any partial circumference extending over an angle (&#x3b1;) of more than 160 degrees from this signal element at least one of the shield element () is arranged that is closer to this signal element () than the any other signal element () of the field of signal elements (). Each of these shield elements extends across an angle (&#x3b2;) of less than 160 degrees from the signal element (). The number of shield elements () is the number of the signal elements () times 3 or less.
