A card edge connector includes a housing having a mating end and a mounting end with a card edge slot configured to receive a circuit card therein. Signal contacts are held by the housing and have mating portions configured to be electrically coupled to corresponding signal pads of the circuit card and tail portions configured to be electrically coupled to a corresponding circuit board. Ground contacts are held by the housing and have tail portions configured to be electrically coupled to the circuit board, bifurcated portions extending from corresponding tail portion, first mating portions extending from corresponding bifurcated portions, and second mating portions extending from corresponding bifurcated portions.
