Patent attributes
A backplane connector assembly includes a first backplane connector and a second backplane connector. The first backplane connector includes a number of first conductive terminals, a first metal shield and a second metal shield. The first conductive terminal includes a first mating portion, a first tail portion and a first connection portion extending along a mating direction. The first conductive terminals includes first differential signal terminals. The first backplane connector includes a number of shielding spaces. The second backplane connector includes second differential signal terminals and metal shield surrounding members received in the shield spaces. Compared with the prior art, the structure of the first conductive terminals of the backplane connector assembly of the present invention is simplified. By providing the shielding spaces and the metal shield surrounding members, the shielding effect of the present disclosure is improved.
