A contact assembly for an electrical connector includes a contact positioner having contact support walls holding a contact array. The contact array includes signal contacts and ground contacts interspersed with the signal contacts. The signal contacts include mating ends configured to be mated with a mating electrical connector and mounting ends configured to be terminated to a host circuit board. The signal contacts include transition portions between the mating ends and the mounting ends. The ground contacts include mating ends, mounting ends, and transition portions between the mating ends and the mounting ends. The contract assembly includes a ground bus wire extending transversely across the contact array. The ground bus wire is electrically connected to each of the ground contacts. The ground bus wire is electrically isolated from each of the signal contacts.

A connector assembly for connecting a bus bar to an electrical component. The connector assembly includes an electrically conductive housing defining an inner cavity. A plurality of canted coil contacts are partially disposed within the inner cavity and protrude therefrom so as to be partially disposed outside the housing. The coil contacts are electrically connected to the housing. A first end portion of an electrically conductive, flexible bridge is connected to the housing. A second end portion of the bridge is configured for connection to the electrical component. A holding apparatus holds the housing against the bus bar such that the coil contacts are pressed against the bus bar to make an electrical connection therewith.

A backplane connector includes a housing, a number of terminal modules assembled to the housing, and a mounting block. The housing includes a base, a first side wall and a second side wall. Each terminal module includes a first signal terminal and a second signal terminal. The first signal terminal has a first mounting foot, and the second signal terminal has a second mounting foot. The housing includes a receiving groove at a bottom end of the base. The mounting block is received in the receiving groove. The mounting block is made of electroplated plastic. The mounting block has an opening for the first mounting foot and the second mounting foot to extend through. As a result, the backplane connector has a better shielding effect.
