1. An electrical connector, comprising:
a plurality of electrical modules sequentially stacked along a vertical direction and fixed by at least one fixing mechanism, wherein each of the electrical modules comprises an insulating block being arc-shaped, a row of conductors fixed to the insulating block and arranged along a left-right direction perpendicular to the vertical direction, and at least one first shielding member provided to cover the insulating block, a front-rear direction is defined to be perpendicular to the vertical direction and the left-right direction, the first shielding member and each of the conductors bend and extend downward from a top thereof and backward from a front thereof to be arc-shaped, each of the conductors comprises a first contact portion, a first conductive portion and a connecting portion connected to the first contact portion and the first conductive portion, and the first contact portions of the row of conductors located on the same one of the electrical modules are located on a same horizontal plane;
wherein the row of conductors comprises a plurality of first grounding conductors and a plurality of pairs of first signal conductors arranged alternately along the left-right direction, and the two first signal conductors in a same pair of the pairs of first signal conductors have a same length; and
wherein the first shielding member has a first main body portion overlapping with a projection of at least one pair of the pairs of first signal conductors in the vertical direction, and at least one first grounding portion extending from the first main body portion to be electrically connected to at least one of the first grounding conductors.
