Summary:An electrical connector (12) which controls crosstalk and signal radiation. The electrical connector (12) includes columns of contacts having signal contacts (42) and ground contacts (44). Ground shields (46) are positioned between the columns of contacts. The ground shields (46) have planar members (52) with mating ends (48) and mounting ends (50). The planar members (52) have surfaces (54) which are configured to be electrically coupled to ground members (26) on a mating connector (14). Voids (56) are provided in the planar members (52). Mounting members (66) extend from the mounting ends (50) of the planar members (52). The mounting members (66) are configured to cooperate with the ground contacts (44) provided in the columns of contacts.
