The internal contact part of the conductive housing 20 realizes the common ground of the shielding parts of each terminal module 40, ensures the shielding effect, and at the same time, the external contact end 22 protruding from the insulating housing 10 is used as a structure for contact and shielding conduction with the mating connector, the mating connector does not need to be provided with a shielding part for insertion into the insulating housing 10 for shielding conduction contact, when the high-speed connector is inserted into the mating connector, the ground frame of the mating connector is in contact with the external contact end 22 of the conductive housing 20 protruding from the insulating housing 10, which can simplify the shielding structure of the mating connector, and a large number of C-shaped shielding barrels are no longer needed as shielding parts, the ground frame of the mating connector is used as a shielding part for contact and shielding conduction, which is not easily affected by the assembly position error of the shielding part of the mating connector, and is beneficial to ensure the reliability of the contact and shielding conduction.

[0047] The insulating housing 10 is a frame structure with four peripheral side walls, the insulating housing 10 has two opposite installation side walls 11 and two opposite connection side walls 12, the spacing direction of the two connection side walls 12 is perpendicular to the spacing direction of the two installation side walls 11, and the connection side walls 12 are connected to the installation side walls 11, the four peripheral side walls form a mounting cavity for mounting the conductive housing 20, and the mounting cavity is through in the connector insertion direction.

The contact of the mating connector protrudes from the external opening into the shielding cavity 21 and contacts the differential pair 41.

[0048] The shielding cavity 21 is provided with an insulating isolation shell 30. The isolation shell 30 is provided with isolation holes for avoiding the differential pair 41 insertion end, so that the differential pair 41 is insulated and separated from the conductive shell 20 through the isolation shell 30.

The male grounding member 204 is a metal member, one end of which is arranged in the male housing 201, and the other end extends out of the male housing 201 and is provided with a fish-eye structure for being crimped on the corresponding printed board to form a grounding loop conduction.

[0056] The insertion end of the female connector 100 extends into the inner cavity of the male housing 201. The inner wall surface of the male housing 201, which is used for abutting against the insertion end of the female connector 100, is provided with a grid slot for inserting the outer contact end 22 of the conductive shell 20. The outer contact end 22 of the conductive shell 20 is inserted into the male housing 201 and the inner space of the frame structure of the male shielding member 202. The outer wall surface of the outer contact end 22 of the conductive shell 20 forms a conductive contact with the inner side surface of the male shielding member 202. The end surface of the insulating shell 10 is pressed against the male shielding member 202. At the same time, the part of the outer contact end 22 of the conductive shell 20 inserted into the male housing 201 contacts the male grounding member 204. The male shielding member 202 constitutes the grounding frame of the adapter connector, i.e. the shielding member. The male signal pins 203 constitute the contact member of the adapter connector. The side surface of the male housing 201, which is away from the female connector 100, is further provided with an outer shielding net. The outer shielding net is provided with a avoiding perforation for avoiding the male signal pins 203 and a contact perforation for the male grounding member 204 to pass through and contact. The outer shielding net and the inner male shielding member 202 form a conduction through the outermost male grounding member 204.

[0057] The end face of the external contact end 22 of the conductive shell 20 constitutes the end face of the insertion end of the female connector 100, and when the male connector 200 is inserted into the female connector 100, the side face of the part where the external contact end 22 of the conductive shell 20 is located is in contact with the inner side face of the frame-shaped ground frame of the male connector 200, so that the shielding conduction is ensured and the matching structure is simplified, and the shielding conduction of the male connector 200 and the female connector 100 is not affected by the position degree of the shielding part of the male connector 200. In other embodiments, the conductive shell can not be inserted into the male shell, and at this time, the male shielding part can be provided in a mesh structure, each pair of male signal pins corresponds to a mesh hole, the male shielding part is in contact with each male ground part, and after the male connector and the female connector are inserted, the end face of the conductive shell of the female connector is pressed onto the male shielding part to form shielding conduction.

[0058] After the male connector and the female connector are inserted, the conductive shell of the female connector that plays a shielding role cooperates with the shielding structure of the male connector to realize full-enclosure shielding of the insertion end link, improve crosstalk, and meet the demand of high-speed signal transmission.
