A backplane connector includes a number of conductive terminals, an insulating frame, a first metal shield and a second metal shield. The 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 extension portion. The second metal shield has a second extension portion. The backplane connector includes an insulating block sleeved on the contact portions of the differential signal terminal and a metal shell sleeved on the insulating block. The metal shell is in contact with the first extension portion and the second extension portion. This arrangement increases the grounding shielding area, reduces crosstalk and improves the quality of signal transmission.
