Zusammenfassung:An electrical connector includes a front housing having a front and a rear. The front housing is configured to hold signal contacts and has a cavity at the rear. The front is configured to be mated with the mating connector. A conductive insert is received in the cavity. The conductive insert includes end walls and cross walls extending between the end walls. The conductive insert includes channels between the cross walls configured to receive ground shields used to provide electrical shielding for the signal contacts. The cross walls are configured to be electrically coupled to the corresponding ground shields. The conductive insert is configured to electrically couple each of the ground shields.
