An electrical connector includes an insultive housing and defining a base seat and a mating portion extending from the base seat. A plurality of conductive terminals are retained in the mating portion and include a plurality of differential signal terminal pairs and grounding terminals, each conductive terminal defines a contacting portion disposed on the mating portion, a retaining portion fixed to the base seat and a connecting portion extending outside of the base seat, the contacting portion of each grounding terminal has a free end extending toward the inside of the mating portion and abutting against a first grounding bar. A second grounding bar defines a base portion and a plurality of abutting portions extending from the base portion and abutting against the retaining portions of the grounding terminals. The first grounding bar and the second grounding bar are connected by a bridging portion thereof.

Electrical connector with imprived grounding bar

An electrical connector comprises an insulating housing, a contact module and a metal shell. The insulating housing defines a front face and rear face, and a receiving space running through the front face and the rear face. The contact module includes a plurality of first contacts loaded thereon and is received in the receiving space, the contacting comprising board connecting tail exposing to the rear face of the housing. The metal shell is received in the receiving space and surrounds the contact module second connector port located beside and separated from the first connector port in said lengthwise direction. Wherein the metal shell is inserted and retained with the insulating housing from the front face, the contact module is inserted and retained with the insulating housing from the rear face.

Combination electrical connector and assembly of the same

An electrical connector includes an insulating housing and a plurality of contacts. The contacts include a plurality of signal contacts arranged in differential signal pairs and a plurality of ground contacts. Differential signal pairs are separated by signal contacts. A first ground bar connects each ground contact to form a first electrical connection. A second ground bar connects each ground contact to form a second electrical connection. The first ground bar is electrically connected to the second ground bar through at least a bridge.
