Abstract
An adapter for connecting a card connector to a mother board consists of a dielectric housing having a front face proximate the card connector and a bottom face proximate the mother board, and a metallic shielding covering a top face, a rear face and side walls of the housing. A number of contacts are fixedly received in the housing and extend from the front face to the bottom face. The contacts are electrically engaged with contacts of the card connector. A top portion of the shielding is engaged with a shielding of the card connector. The shielding of the adapter further forms a plurality of grounding tabs extending between tail portions of selected contacts of the adapter, thereby reducing cross-talk therebetween.
