Abstract
An electric connector array includes a knife strip and a spring strip of insulating material each having a plurality of signal contacts being disposed in columns and rows for connection to one another by being plugged together, and each of the signal contacts being shielded on all sides by sheet-metal elements. Ground strips which are disposed in the knife strip extend over an entire length of the knife strip and are disposed between adjacent signal contact rows. Small ground plates are disposed in the spring strip between adjacent signal contact columns. Each of the ground strips have pin-like ground contacts disposed in an intermediate grid relative to the signal contacts, for making a pluggable electrical contact with each of the small ground plates.
