Error-Correction Coding for 10Gb/s Backplane Transmission

A high pin density electrical connector includes an insulation body having a first surface and a second surface, a metal shield mounted to the first surface of the insulation body, having a plate portion and a shaped frame mounted to the plate portion to define a circumferentially surrounded space and a plurality of pin members. The insulation body has formed on the second surface thereof two cavities each having two circumferences along which a plurality of pin receiving holes are formed to extend from the first surface to the cavities. A pin support member having two edges along which slots are formed is snugly received within each of the cavities. The pin members are first received and supported within the slots of the pin support members and then extend through the pin receiving holes to be retained therein so as to have a leading section of each of the pin members extend into the surrounded space of the shield.
