ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector assembly (10) includes an insulating housing (12) and assembled thereto a plurality of terminal modules (30) and electrically conductive shields (80) therebetween. Each terminal module (30) has a plurality of contacts (36) including a mating contact portion (38), a conductor connecting portion (42) and an intermediate portion (40) therebetween with some or all of the intermediate portions encapsulated in an insulative web (56). Each of the modules (30) has an electrically conductive shield (80) mounted thereto. The connector assembly (10) is characterized in that each shield (80) includes at least a first resilient arm (98) in electrical engagement with a selected one of the contacts in the module to which the shield (80) is mounted and at least a second resilient arm (99) extending outwardly from the module and adapted for electrical engagement with an other selected contact in an adjacent terminal module (30) of the connector assembly (10).
