Abstract
A shielded back plane connector is disclosed comprising a header assembly and a daughter board connector. The daughter board connector includes an upper and lower shield where the upper and lower shields include stamped windows thereby forming passages for allowing structural ribs of the housing to pass therethrough while providing a contact for contact with grounding pins disposed in the header assembly. A cross talk shield can be positioned intermediate each of the terminal sub-assemblies thereby reducing the cross talk between adjacent terminals. A shield includes a contact portion for contacting the center terminal in the shielded sub-assembly, for using the center terminal as a ground terminal.
