Abstract: A header connector includes header ground shields each having a main panel, a first side panel extending from a first side of the main panel and a second side panel extending from a second side of the main panel. The main panel, the first side panel and the second side panel define a shield pocket receiving and shielding a signal contact. The first side panel includes a first overlapping segment and a first engagement segment and the second side panel includes a second overlapping segment and a second engagement segment. The header ground shields are arranged in shield columns and corresponding header ground shields in the same shield column engage adjacent header ground shields such that the first overlapping segments overlap second engagement segments of the adjacent header ground shield and such that the second overlapping segments overlap first engagement segments of the adjacent header ground shield.

Abstract: Electrical connector includes a connector body having a front side configured to engage a first electrical component and a mounting side configured to engage a second electrical component. The electrical connector also includes a plurality of signal conductors extending through the connector body. The signal conductors include mating interfaces and mounting interfaces that are positioned for engaging the first and second electrical components, respectively. The electrical connector also includes a ground structure extending generally parallel to and between two of the signal conductors. The connector body has a resonance-control surface that faces the ground structure. The resonance-control surface is shaped to include alternating distal and proximal areas. The proximal areas are closer to the ground structure than the distal areas.
