A terminal module includes a number of conductive terminals. The conductive terminals include a first signal terminal and a second signal terminal. A contact portion of the first signal terminal includes a first contact arm, a second contact arm and a first clamping space. The first contact arm includes a first contact end portion and a first contact arm body portion connected with the first contact end portion. The first contact arm body portion includes a first end connected to the first contact end portion and a second end opposite to the first end. From the first end to the second end, a width of the first contact arm body portion gradually increases. As a result, it is beneficial to improve the contact impedance when it is mated with a mating backplane connector. The present disclosure also discloses a backplane connector having the terminal module.

A terminal module includes a number of conductive terminals. The conductive terminal includes a contact portion, a transition portion connected with the contact portion and a connection portion electrically connected with the transition portion. The conductive terminals include differential signal terminals, a first ground terminal and a second ground terminal. The differential signal terminals include a first signal terminal and a second signal terminal. The terminal module further includes a fixing block fixed on the transfer portions of the first signal terminal and the second signal terminal. As a result, a distance between the first signal terminal and the second signal terminal can be controlled by the fixing block for improving the quality of data transmission. The present disclosure also discloses a backplane connector having the terminal module.

A backplane connector includes a housing and a number of terminal modules assembled to the housing. 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. The terminal module includes a first signal terminal and a second signal terminal. The housing includes a number of insulating protrusions integrally extending from the base. The insulating protrusions extend into the receiving space.
