An electrical connector includes a conductive housing having a mating end and a mounting end mounted to a circuit board. The conductive housing provides electrical shielding around pockets and includes ground pads at the mounting end configured to be terminated to the circuit board. The electrical connector includes contact assemblies held by the conductive housing each having a contact holder holding at least one contact. The contact holder is received in the corresponding pocket of the conductive housing to position the at least one contact relative to the conductive housing. Each contact includes a mating end and a terminating end coupled to a signal pad of the circuit board. The conductive housing provides circumferential shielding around each contact assembly between the contact holder and the circuit board.

High speed electrical connector for communication system

A contact assembly for an electrical connector signal contacts arranged in pairs and ground contacts are interspersed with the pairs of the signal contacts. Each signal contact includes a signal contact body having first and second sides extending between a signal mating end and a signal terminating end. Each ground contact includes a ground contact body having first and second sides extending between a ground mating end and a ground terminating end. The contact assembly includes a ground shield assembly including a ground shield spanning across the contacts and ground connective elements electrically connected to the ground shield and the corresponding ground contacts. The ground connective elements are compressible.
