Abstract: A contact module includes a dielectric holder holding signal contacts having mating portions extending forward of the dielectric holder. A shield structure is coupled to the dielectric holder providing electrical shielding for the signal contacts. The shield structure has first and second ground shields having corresponding mating portions extending forward of the mating end of the dielectric holder. The shield structure has ground blades extending between the first and second ground shields having mating portions extending forward of the mating end of the dielectric holder at least one of above or below the mating portions of the signal contacts. The ground blades electrically connect the mating portions of the first ground shield and the mating portions of the second ground shield immediately forward of the mating end of dielectric holder.

Abstract: An electrical connector includes a housing and a plurality of conductors held within the housing. The conductors are configured to electrically connect to mating conductors of a mating connector. The conductors each extend a length between a mating end and a mounting end of the respective conductor. One or more of the conductors include a copper alloy core, a copper plating layer, and a protective outer layer. The copper plating layer surrounds the copper alloy core, and is composed of a different material than the copper alloy core. The protective outer layer is disposed on and surrounds the copper plating layer. The protective outer layer is composed of a non-conductive polymeric material.

Abstract: Electrical connector includes a connector housing and a plurality of electrical contacts coupled to the connector housing. Each of the electrical contacts includes a base section coupled to the connector housing and an elongated mating pin coupled to the base section. The mating pin extends away from the base section along a longitudinal axis to a contact end of the mating pin. The mating pin has an exterior surface that forms a runway configured to intimately engage another contact during a mating operation. The runway includes a wipe zone, a resonance-control zone, and a mating zone. The resonance-control zone is located between the mating zone and the wipe zone. The resonance-control zone has a greater elevation than an elevation of the wipe zone and an elevation of the mating zone such that the resonance-control zone deflects the other contact further away during the mating operation.
