ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR WITH SIGNAL PATHWAYS AND A SYSTEM HAVING THE SAME

摘要

Electrical connector including a connector body having a mating side configured to interface with an electrical component. The electrical connector also includes signal pathways extending through the connector body. The signal pathways are arranged to form pairs of signal pathways. The electrical connector also includes an impedance-control assembly having a plurality of dielectric bodies supported by the connector body. The dielectric bodies surround respective pairs of signal pathways. The dielectric bodies include a dielectric medium and gas bubbles distributed in the dielectric medium. The dielectric medium has a predetermined dielectric constant. The at least one of the gas bubbles or gas-filled particles are sized and distributed in the dielectric medium to achieve a target dielectric constant of the dielectric bodies.
