1. A connector comprising:
a housing; and
multiple pairs of signal contacts, each two signal contacts that are paired with each other being arranged side by side at
a distance in the longitudinal direction of the housing, the multiple pairs of signal contact being arranged so as to form
multiple arrays arranged side by side in the transverse direction of the housing, each of the multiple pairs of signal contacts
that have an identical length being designed for balanced transmission;
panel-shaped ground contacts provided between respective, neighboring pairs of the multiple pairs of signal contact in each
of the multiple arrays, each of the panel-shaped ground contacts being of a size sufficient to shield the multiple pairs of
signal contacts from each neighboring pair and being provided commonly to the multiple arrays arranged side by side in the
transverse direction of the housing; and
an array intermediate ground contact betweeneach two neighboring arrays of the multiple pairs of signal contacts, wherein:
each of the ground contacts has a pair of contact parts;
one of the pair of contact parts is aligned with substrate contact parts of the multiple pairs of signal contacts arranged
in one of the arrays; and
the other one of the pair of contact parts is aligned with substrate contact parts of the multiple pairs of signal contacts
arranged in another one of the two arrays.
