High speed card edge connectors

Card edge connector includes a plurality of forming a receiving area configured to receive the module and the corresponding contact portion and parallel laterally extending in an assembly to be coupled to the-in plane extending long longitudinally disposed within the outer frame including a contact member The. Each chiclet module is isolated having a first and a first and a card receiving recess for reception between the second passage in a second spaced passages therein and planar card having opposed surfaces with conductive contact members It includes a housing. First and second contacts are received respectively in the first and second passages. Each contact is provided with a first contact surface positioned for engagement with each of the first and second mating contacts. The card receiving recesses of the chiclet modules to form a longitudinally extending card receiving slot, as a group. Each contact includes a second contact surface projecting into the card receiving slot for engagement with each of the second conductive contact member on the planar card. A tubular ground shield may be slidably received on the insulative housing so as to engage an outer peripheral surface thereof adjacent to the. In this case, the ground shield of claim 1 and a first integral ground contact for engagement with a ground contact of an external unit associated with the mating contacts coupled to the first contact surface of the second contact, the card ground contact surface on the planar card inserted into the receiving slot and a second integral ground contact for engagement.Card, the connector housing, the module, the contact
