Abstract
An electrical connector includes a contact module including a leadframe assembly and a dielectric frame overmolded on the leadframe assembly. The leadframe assembly includes a primary leadframe having signal conductors with transition contacts encased in the dielectric frame. At least some of the signal conductors have mating contacts extending from corresponding transition contacts configured to be electrically connected to corresponding signal contacts of a mating connector. The leadframe assembly includes a secondary leadframe is mechanically and electrically connected to the primary leadframe. The secondary leadframe has mounting segments connected to corresponding signal conductors of the primary leadframe. The secondary leadframe has mating contacts extending from corresponding mounting segments configured to be electrically connected to corresponding signal contacts of the mating connector. The secondary leadframe may be welded to the primary leadframe.
