Abstract:
An electrical connector having an insulating housing, a plurality of first contacts ( ), a plurality of second contacts ( ), wherein the connector exhibits a desired characteristic impedance. The second contacts are angled relative to the first contacts and each has an edge ( ) disposed adjacent to an edge or side of first contacts. An electrical connector as described above where the first contacts are signal contacts, the second contacts are power or ground contacts, and the desired impedance is approximately less than 50 ohms.
