Electrical connector with contact shielding module

An electrical connector, comprising:

• a housing having a connector mating side configured to receive a mating connector, a board mating side configured to be mounted to a circuit board, and a contact exit side, said housing including a platform extending rearward from said contact exit side and having a hole therethrough:
• a contact held in said housing and having a contact body extending between a connector mating end and a board engaging end of said contact, said connector mating end being configured to join with the mating connector, said board engaging end being configured to engage the circuit board, said contact body having an enclosed portion passing through said housing and an exposed portion extending from said contact exit side of said housing to the circuit board;
• and
• a shielding module provided on said platform and located immediately adjacent said contact exit side of said housing and fitted around said exposed portion of said contact extending between said contact exit side of said housing and said board mating end of the contact to shield said exposed portion, wherein said shielding module includes first and second components joined to one another at contact engaging faces to form a channel to surround said exposed portion of said contact, said exposed portion of said contact extending from said channel and through said hole in said platform, said hole maintaining a close tolerance to said exposed portion to maintain said contact in a desired position with respect to said channel.
