ABSTRACT:
The invention provides an electrical connector assembly that is constituted by a first connector and a second connector, each of the first and second connectors having signal contacts disposed in two rows, a grounding member disposed between the rows of signal contacts and a housing that holds the signal contacts and the grounding member and being engaged with each other, and an electrical connector that constitutes the electrical connector assembly. The electrical connector and electrical connector assembly increase the reliability of a grounding path, require only a small number of component parts and are suitable for high-speed signal transmission. A first grounding plate and a second grounding plate that constitute the grounding member are disposed in the immediate vicinity of rows of signal contacts that are disposed in two rows and the housing has a through opening. Therefore, a connection section that constitutes the grounding member can be visually checked.
