An electrical connector comprising:
- a shielding shell;
- an insulative housing received in the shielding shell, the insulative housing having two rows of mating ports in a vertical direction and a receiving slot between the two rows of mating ports;
- a contact module mounted in the insulative housing, the contact modules comprising an inner circuit board and a plurality of mating contacts mounted on an upper surface and a lower surface of the inner circuit board, the inner circuit board comprising a conductive area at a front end thereof;
- and
- a conductive foam received in the receiving slot and compressed between the conductive area of the inner circuit board and the shielding shell.
An electrical connector comprising:
- an insulative housing defining a mating cavity forwardly communicating with an exterior along a front-to-back direction via a front opening in a front face of the housing;
- a plurality of contacts disposed in the housing with contacting sections extending into the mating port;
- a metallic shell enclosing the housing and including a front plate covering the front face of the housing except the front opening;
- an internal printed circuit board horizontally positioned within the housing with a conductive front edge region located beside the mating cavity and adjacent to the front face of the housing;
- a deformable conductive element sandwiched band compressed between the front plate and the conductive front edge region.
