HIGH SPEED ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR

摘要

Electrical connector assemblies are provided that include electrical connectors having electrical contacts that have receptacle mating ends are provided. The connector housings of the provided electrical connectors include alignment members that are capable of performing staged alignment of components of the electrical connector assemblies. The provided electrical connector assemblies and the electrical connectors provided therein are capable of operating at a data transfer rate of forty gigabits per second with worst case multi-active cross talk that does not exceed a range of about two percent to about four percent.

主权项

1. An electrical connector comprising:
a leadframe assembly comprising an electrically insulative leadframe housing having a housing body; a plurality of electrical signal contacts supported by the leadframe housing and arranged in respective differential signal pairs, wherein immediately adjacent differential signal pairs of the electrical signal contacts are separated from each other so as to define respective gaps therebetween, and each of the plurality of electrical signal contacts define a single, deflectable beam having a surface that defines a bent shape; and an electrically conductive ground plate attached to the leadframe housing, the ground plate including a ground plate body, ground mating ends that extend from the ground plate body, ground mounting ends that extend from the ground plate body, and a plurality of ribs that each extend from an exterior surface of the ground plate body into respective ones of the gaps.
