A grounding system is disclosed in an electrical connector assembly which provides an interconnection between a pc card and a printed circuit board. The assembly includes a header connector subassembly having a body adapted for receiving the pc card. A plurality of header terminals are mounted on the body, with pin portions of the terminals adapted for interconnection to receptacle contacts of the pc card. A grounding shroud is disposed over the terminal and includes downwardly extending grounding terminal portions. A board-mounted connector subassembly includes a housing adapted for mating with the body of the header connector subassembly. A plurality of socket terminals are mounted on the housing for mating with the header terminals of the header connector subassembly, with socket tail portions adapted for interconnection with circuit traces on the printed circuit board. A ground terminal on the housing mates with the grounding terminal portion of the shroud, with a solderable portion of the ground terminal adapted for interconnection to a ground circuit on the printed circuit board.
