An electrical cable connector includes an insulative housing, a plurality of terminals disposed in the housing, a mating cavity formed in the housing and forwardly communicating with an exterior. The terminal includes a front contacting section and a rear connecting section with an extension section therebewteen in a front-to-back direction. The front contacting section is exposed in the mating cavity, and the rear connecting section includes a soldering region and a pair of securing structure formed on two sides of the soldering region and secured to the housing for retaining the terminal in position with regard to the housing.

Connector assemblies for making connections to a subassembly, such as a processor card, may include signal contact tips formed of a material different than that of an associated cable conductor. The signal contact tips may be formed of a super elastic material, such as nickel titanium. The connector assembly may include ground contact tips that similarly make a pressure contact to the electrical component may be electrically connected to a shield of the cable shield Housing modules that interlock or interface with a support member may be employed to manufacture connectors with any desired quantity of signal and ground contact tips in any suitable number of columns and rows. Each module may terminate a cable and provide pressure mount connections between signal conductors and the shield of the cable and conductive pads on the subassembly, and conductive or lossy grounded structures around the conductive elements carrying signals through the module.

A connector includes at least a pair of mating portions and each mating portion includes a at least one mating blade. The connector body has a height that is greater than twice a height of the mating portion. Flanges can be provided on both sides of the mating blade.
