Abstract
A high speed, low impedance shielded connector is disclosed. The shield is formed of sheet material and includes multiple integral shield-to-plug contacts in a limited longitudinal space. Such contacts are forwardly facing, to reduce ground path lengths or are arranged substantially parallel to a plug insertion axis, to below development of high normal forces. Shielding of an array of connectors is enhanced by the use of transverse flanges having interfitting sections that provide effective shielding are allow close spacing or adjacent connectors in the array.
