Electrical connector assembly

Abstract

A an electrical connector assembly comprises: an insulative housing; a terminal module received in the insulative housing, the terminal module includes a plurality of terminals arranged in a transverse direction, each of the plurality of terminals including a mating portion and a tail portion; a cable electrically connected to the terminal module and extending backward out of the insulative housing; and an intermediate conductor connecting the terminal module and the cable; wherein the plurality of terminals includes include a plurality of ground terminals and signal terminal pairs arranged between adjacent ground terminals, the cable includes pairs of signal core wires and a shielding layer covering each pair of signal core wires, each of the signal core wires includes an inner conductor and an inner insulation layer covering the inner conductor, and the inner conductors of a pair of signal core wires are electrically connected to the tail portions of a corresponding pair of signal terminals through the intermediate conductor.
