Electrical connector and electrical connector assembly

Abstract

An electrical connector includes: a terminal module including: an insulating body; a cable; plural signal terminals held on the insulating body and arranged in pairs and in a row; and a grounding member including plural grounding pieces arranged on both sides of each pair of signal terminals and a common grounding piece connected with the plural grounding pieces, wherein the cable comprises a pair of signal conductors and a conductive layer, each grounding piece includes a first ground portion extending from one side of the insulating body toward a mating direction beyond the signal terminals, each signal terminal has a first contact portion connected with the signal conductor of the cable and a second contact portion for connecting with a mating connector, and the first contact portion and the second contact portion are both in a plane perpendicular to the first ground portion. The design of the electrical connector in the present invention effectively improves space utilization, and the signal transmission is stable, which can effectively control crosstalk.
