Abstract
An electrical connector includes a dielectric housing provided with a plurality of contact modules. Each of the contact modules is provided with a lead frame having mounting contacts electrically connected to mating contacts by signal conductors and ground conductors that extend along a predetermined path within the contact module. The lead frames in adjacent contact modules alternate between a first pattern and a second pattern. The first pattern and the second pattern each have pairs of signal conductors and individual ground conductors arranged in an alternating sequence. Each of the ground conductors has a width transverse to the predetermined path that is substantially equal to a combined width transverse to the predetermined path across the pair of signal conductors in the adjacent contact module such that the ground conductor shields the pair of signal conductors in the adjacent contact module.
