A connector includes a housing with a plurality of electrically conductive terminals therein. Some terminals may include a terminal support projection that engages the housing to maintain the position of a contact section of the terminals relative to the housing. Others terminals may have a tool engaging shoulder configured to be engaged by a tool to force press-fit tails of all of the terminals into a circuit member. The housing may include a locking structure for certain the terminals that permits the terminals to be inserted into the housing with little or no force and then securely lock the terminals in the housing. One or more ground plates may be included for electrically connecting a plurality of the terminals. The ground plates may have resilient tabs that contact at least some of the terminals and the tabs may be thinner than a body portion of the ground plate.

A waveguide support and reflector member is provided for optically connecting a first optical component having at least one optical waveguide including an optical axis with a second optical component. The waveguide support and reflector member includes a body having a waveguide retention section and a reflector section. The waveguide retention section is configured to support the first optical component and defines an optical plane along which each optical waveguide is disposed upon positioning the optical component at the waveguide retention section. The reflector section has an optical reflector surface aligned with the optical plane and is configured to optically connect the at least one optical waveguide with the second optical component. An optical assembly incorporating a waveguide support and reflector member and a sheet metal blank for forming a waveguide support and reflector member are also provided. An in-line waveguide support and alignment member is further provided.

A daughter card is constructed with a housing and a plurality of wafers retained in the housing. Each wafer includes a lead frame having a plurality of signal and ground terminals where the signal terminals are a differential pair. The lead frame includes an insulative frame portion with a conductive shield positioned on a side of the lead frame. The shield is secured to the lead frame by a projection extending from the shield to the ground terminals.
