Modular connector with reduced crosstalk

摘要

A modular connector comprises an insulating housing (100) having a plugging portion for plugging with a mating connector, a plurality of contact elements (201-208) supported by the insulating housing, the contact elements each having a contact section (201a-208a) arranged in the plugging portion, an intermediate section (201B-208B) secured to the insulating housing, and a connection section (201C-208C) extending from the intermediate section, a pair of the contact elements (201, 208) on opposite ends being twisted to intersect each other in the intermediate sections, the other pairs of the contact elements (202-207) being arranged such that the distance between adjacent contact elements decreases in the intermediate sections and increases in the connection sections.
