An electrical connector is used to be electrically connected to a mating component. The electrical connector includes one or more shielding members, forming multiple receiving holes; and multiple terminals, including at least one signal terminal and at least one ground terminal correspondingly accommodated in the receiving holes. The ground terminal has a mating portion upward abutting the mating component, an elastic portion pressed vertically to elastically deform, and a positioning portion having a cross-section in a circular shape. The positioning portion and the shielding members are conductively connected to each other by at least three conductive portions, and the three conductive portions are provided to form a triangle. An insulating block is between the signal terminal and a corresponding shielding member to be accommodated in a corresponding receiving hole. The positioning portion with a circular cross-section has a larger area when the volume of the receiving hole remains unchanged.

An electrical connector with improved high frequency performance. The connector has conductive elements, forming both signal and ground conductors, that have multiple points of contact distributed along an elongated dimension. The ground conductors may be formed with multiple beams of different length. The signal conductors may be formed with multiple contact regions on a single beam, with different characteristics. Signal conductors may have beams that are jogged to provide both a desired impedance and mating contact pitch. Additionally, electromagnetic radiation, inside and/or outside the connector, may be shaped with an insert electrically connecting multiple ground structures and/or a contact feature coupling ground conductors to a stiffener. The conductive elements in different columns may be shaped differently to reduce crosstalk.
