Abstract
A ground contact module includes a ground leadframe having a ground contact with a transition portion extending between mating and terminating ends. A ground dielectric body holds the ground leadframe. The ground dielectric body has a low loss layer overmolded over the ground leadframe. The ground dielectric body has a lossy band separate and discrete from the low loss layer and attached thereto in proximity to the ground contact such that the lossy band is electrically coupled to the ground contact. The lossy band is manufactured from lossy material having conductive particles in a dielectric binder material and absorbs electrical resonance propagating through the contact module stack.
