    Abstract: An electrical connector assembly includes a contact organizer having a substrate having a lower surface facing the host circuit board and an upper surface facing a component circuit board. The electrical connector includes data transmission contacts each including a main body, a upper mating element extending from the main body top mated to the component circuit board, and a lower mating element extending from the main body bottom soldered to the host circuit board. The main body includes a main body length between the top and the bottom and an adjustable height section to adjust a height of the main body between the top and the bottom. The adjustable height sections of the data transmission contacts are varied to adjust vertical positions of at least one of the upper mating element or the lower mating element such that the contacts have variable heights.

    Abstract: A contact module includes a dielectric holder holding signal contacts and guard traces. The guard traces are electrically commoned and provide electrical shielding between the corresponding signal contacts. A ground shield is coupled to a first side of the dielectric holder and provides electrical shielding for the signal contacts. The ground shield is electrically connected to each guard trace and has a plurality of rails. Each rail has side strips aligned with the signal contacts and connecting strips extending inward from a first edge of the side strip into the dielectric holder to directly engage the corresponding guard traces. The rails are generally L-shaped defined by the side strips and corresponding connecting strips.

    Abstract: A communication system includes first and second circuit card assemblies mated such that first and second PCBs move relative to each other along a board mating axis parallel to a slot in the first PCB with the first PCB oriented perpendicular to the second PCB and with first and second mating ends of first and second electrical connectors oriented parallel to the board mating axis. The first and second circuit card assemblies are mated such that the first electrical connector and the second electrical connector move relative to each other along a connector mating axis perpendicular to the board mating axis. Mating interfaces the contacts are oriented at contact mating angles non-parallel to the board loading axis and non-parallel to the connector mating axis.
