First Claim
Patent Images
1. An electrical connector assembly, comprising:
- a first electrical connector having an insulative housing disposed within a shielding cage and at least two rows of terminals secured in the insulative housing, the housing defining a mating face and a mounting face perpendicular to the mating face, the insulative housings includes a metal sheet disposed between the rows of terminals, the metal sheet extending form the mating face to the mounting face and comprising at least one tail extending beyond the mounting face; and
a second electrical connector having at least two mating boards within a metallic shell, a metal sheet disposed between the two mating boards, the first and second electrical connectors being matable to each other;
wherein the metal sheet of the first connector is electrically connected with the metal sheet of the second connector when the first and second electrical connectors mate with each other.
