ABSTRACT:
A connector array (10) for mounting to a circuit board is disclosed including a conductive shroud (16) and two electrical connectors (12, 14). The shroud includes a conductive first plate (60) that separates the two connectors (12, 14) and the leads (34) of one connector from the leads (38) of the other connector. The shroud includes solder tails (68) that electrically engage ground circuitry on the circuit board (18). A conductive second plate (64) is spaced from and parallel to the first plate (60). Contacts (72, 80) extend from edges of each of the first and second plates and are arranged so that when memory cards (28, 30) are mated with the two connectors the contacts electrically engage outer conductive surfaces of the two memory cards. The two connectors are secured in a vertically stacked position by means of a pair of clips (50) that are in interfering engagement with openings (52) formed in outer walls of the housings of the two connectors.
