Abstract
A high frequency electrical connector assembly comprises first and second intermatable connectors including first and second intermatable housings, respectively, containing first and second board assemblies each comprising a series of conductive and insulating dielectric layers located alternately in overlying relation and extending transversely of a mating direction. Intermatable ground contacts extend between and interconnect all the conductive layers of respective board assemblies thereby forming ground planes, and, a first and second series of signal contacts having intermatable portions and anchoring portions extending through the respective board assemblies. The respective conductive layers extend to locations adjacent and spaced from the anchoring portions so that mating portions of the connector assembly are shieldingly enclosed between the board assemblies when the connectors are mated. The ground contacts are mating pin and socket portions or intermatable metal portions of the respective housings.
