Abstract
An electrical connector could mounted onto a PCB comprising an insulating housing with a plurality of contacts; a shielding surrounding the housing; an IC component congregating several ESD protecting members and electrical connecting the contacts. Said contacts consists of several signal contacts and at least a grounding contact; the electro-static of the signal contacts flow through the IC component to the grounding contact. Each contact comprises a soldering portion protruding out of a bottom side of the connector; at least one elastic arm extends from a top side of the connector corresponding to the soldering portions; and the IC component is sandwiched between the elastic arm and the soldering portions.

An electrical connector could mounted onto a PCB comprising:
- an insulating housing with a plurality of contacts;
- a shielding surrounding the housing;
- an IC component congregating several ESD protecting members and electrical connecting the contacts;
- said contacts consisting of several signal contacts and at least a grounding contact;
- the electrostatic of the signal contacts flow through the IC component to the grounding contact;
- and
- each contact comprising a soldering portion protruding out of a bottom side of the connector;
- at least one elastic arm extending from a top side of the connector corresponding to the soldering portions;
- and the IC component sandwiched between the elastic arm and the soldering portions.
An electrical connector, comprising:
- a metallic shell configured by walls and defining a receiving space therebetween, the shell having a front opening and a rear wall with a rear duct;
- a plurality of contacts insert received in the receiving space, and including contact engaging portions accessible from the front opening, and tail portions extending out of the shell through the rear duct;
- and
- an electrical module retained to the rear wall and electrically connected to the tails portion of the contacts, respectively.
An electrical connector assembly comprising:
- a printed circuit board;
- an insulative housing;
- a plurality of contacts disposed in the housing, each of said contacts defining a front contacting section and a rear horizontally extending tail section, said tail section defining opposite upper and bottom surfaces under a condition that the surface of said tail section is soldered to said printed circuit board;
- a metallic shield covering said housing and defining a grounding leg engaged with the printed circuit board;
- and
- a noise-filtering component defining an upper end engaged with a rear region of the shield, and a lower end engaged with the upper surface of the tail section.
