The present disclosure a connector including a housing, a terminal module, a metal plate and a shielding member. The housing is provided with a slot. The terminal module includes a number of signal terminals and an insulating block. Each signal terminal is provided with a contact portion extending into the slot. The metal plate and the at least one terminal module are arranged side by side along a thickness direction of the connector. The shielding member extends along the thickness direction to contact the insulating block and to be electrically connected to the ground plate.

A backplane connector includes a housing, a number of terminal modules assembled to the housing, and a metal shield surrounding member. The housing includes a base, a first side wall and a second side wall. The base, the first side wall and the second side wall jointly form a receiving space for at least partially receiving a mating connector. The terminal module includes a first signal terminal, a second signal terminal and an insulating block fixed on the first signal terminal and the second signal terminal. The metal shield surrounding member at least partially surrounds the periphery of the first signal terminal and the second signal terminal. As a result, the shielding effect of the backplane connector is improved.

A backplane connector includes a number of conductive terminals, an insulating frame, a first metal shield and a second metal shield. Each conductive terminal includes a connection portion and a contact portion. The conductive terminals include differential signal terminals, a first ground terminal and a second ground terminal. The first metal shield has a first elastic arm and a second elastic arm. The second metal shield has a third elastic arm and a fourth elastic arm. The first elastic arm and the third elastic arm are in contact with two opposite side surfaces of the contact portion of the first ground terminal. The second elastic arm and the fourth elastic arm are in contact with two opposite side surfaces of the contact portion of the second ground terminal. This arrangement increases the grounding shielding area, reduces crosstalk, and improves the quality of signal transmission.

A connector and shielding ring for use with the connector includes a male portion with a shroud and a center conductor and a female portion with a jack and a socket positioned to receive the center conductor. A conductive shielding ring is positioned between the mated connector portions. The shielding ring has a body configured for surrounding flexible tines of the female portion jack and is configured to be captured between the tines and the shroud for providing a grounding path between the male and female portions of the connector. The shielding ring body has an inner surface with a diameter and an outer surface with a diameter and has a taper portion formed on a distal end of the shielding ring body for engaging a surface of the shroud. The shielding ring body has a lip extending radially inwardly at the proximal end for engaging the tines of the female portion when the male and female portions of the connector are mated.

A cable assembly comprising a termination with at least one conductive, compressible member and a conductive ground shield. The conductive, compressible member may be held within a connector module forming the termination such that the conductive compressive member is pressed against, and therefore makes electrical contact with, both an outer conductive layer of the cable and ground structures within the connector module. In some embodiments, these connections may be formed using a conductive, compressible member with an opening configured to receive the end of the cable therethrough. The conductive ground shield may be configured to compress the conductive, compressible member, and to cause the conductive, compressible member to electrically contact the cable's conductive layer. The conductive, compressible member may be formed from a compressible material and may comprise a plurality of conductive particulates configured to provide electrically conductive paths.
