Connector having internal crosstalk compensation

摘要

An electrical connector (10), comprising an insulating housing (13), a plurality of conductors (32) mounted within the insulating housing (13) in at least two rows of aligned pairs, a first compensation section (52) which provides a first crosstalk compensation, and a second compensation section (54) which provides a second crosstalk compensation. A first end portion (38) of each conductor (32) is adapted to electrically connect with contacts of another connector while a second end portion (40) of each conductor (32) is adapted to electrically connect with an electrical device such as a printed circuit board. The first compensation section (52) is located within the insulating housing (13) with the conductors (32) being arranged therein in an orientation to provide the first crosstalk compensation. The second compensation section further is located within the connector (10) and typically comprises a multi-layered circuit board (56).
