Electrical connector with conductive plastic features

An electrical connector having electrical conductors in a plurality of rows, wherein each of the plurality of rows comprises:

• a) a housing;
• b) a plurality of electrical conductors, with each electrical conductor having a first contact end connectable to a printed circuit board, a second contact end and an intermediate portion therebetween that is disposed within the housing;
• c) wherein the housing has:
• (i) a first region surrounding each of the plurality of electrical conductors and extending substantially along the length of the intermediate portion of the electrical conductors, the first region made of insulative material;
• and
• (ii) a second region adjacent the first region and extending substantially along the length of the intermediate portion of the electrical conductors, the second region made of a material with a binder containing conductive fillers, such that the electrical conductors are electrically isolated from one another and each of the plurality of rows are shielded from adjacent rows by the second region.
