ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR WITH CROSSTALK CANCELING FEATURES

摘要

An electrical connector (122) comprises a housing (370) having a mating face (372) and a mounting face (374). The housing holds signal contacts (350, 352) and ground contacts (390) arranged in rows (502). Each of the signal contacts and the ground contacts includes a mating end (410, 450, 400) extending from the mating face of the housing and a mounting end (414, 454, 404) extending from the mounting face of the housing. The signal contacts are arranged in alternating pairs of straight signal contacts (352) and offset signal contacts (350). For each said row, the mounting ends (454, 404) of the straight signal contacts and the ground contacts are arranged along a centerline (510) of said row, and the mounting ends (414) of the offset signal contacts in each said pair of offset signal contacts are offset on respective opposite sides of the centerline.
