<p>A communication connector includes a housing with an opening for receiving a mating connector. First and second pairs of terminal contact wires are supported in the housing, and each pair forms a different signal path. The terminal contact wires have base portions, free ends, and intermediate co-planar contact portions that establish points of electrical contact with corresponding terminals of a mating connector. First and second pairs of elongated, parallel capacitor plates are fixed at corresponding free ends of the contact wires. The plates of each pair of capacitor plates capacitively couple an associated terminal contact wire of the one pair of contact wires, with an associated terminal contact wire of the other pair of contact wires. The two pairs of capacitor plates extend in a length direction that is substantially parallel to the plane of the contact portions of the terminal contact wires. In the disclosed embodiment, the first and the second pairs of parallel capacitor plates extend perpendicular to the contact wires, and are aligned in planes orthogonal to one another. <IMAGE></p> |
