Problems solved by technology

More precisely, increasing the operating speed of a pluggable connector may increase unwanted near-end crosstalk (NEXT), far-end crosstalk, and / or return loss, making the connector unsuitable for industrial applications such as for Gigabit Ethernet

Embodiment Construction

[0015] In one embodiment, an electrical connector is provided that includes a plug insert having an insulator and a pair of contact channels extending through the plug insert. The contact channels have central axes extending parallel to one another in a common direction. The contact channels are defined by respective channel walls and separated by portions of the insulator between the channels. The channel walls have a wall perimeter extending around a corresponding central axis. The electrical connector also includes a contact subassembly held by the pair of contact channels. The contact subassembly includes a mating contact received within the contact channel and a retention clip disposed within the contact channel between the mating contact and a wall of the channel. Each retaining clip has a concave body with clip edges separated by an open side. The concave body extends partially around the wall perimeter, and the open side is positioned along a portion of the wall per...

Abstract

An electrical connector(100) that includes a plug insert(118) having a dielectric body and having a pair of contact channels. The contact channels have central axes that extend parallel to each other in a common direction. The contact channels are defined by respective channel walls and are separated by an inter-channel portion of the dielectric body(119). The channel walls have wall perimeters that extend around the corresponding central axes. The electrical connector(100) also has a contact sub-assembly that includes mating contacts(120) that are received in the contact channels and retention clips that are positioned within the contact channels between the mating contacts(120) and the channel walls. Each of the retention clips has a concave body with an open side. The concave body extends partially about the wall perimeter with the open side positioned along a portion of the wall perimeter. The retention clips are oriented to face one another.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to electrical connectors, and more particularly to electrical connectors for high speed signal transmission. Background technique [0002] An electrical connector for plugging a communication cable into an electrical system may include a housing containing a number of conductors forming differential pairs. The differential pairs are configured to connect with corresponding differential pairs in a mating connector of the electrical system when the pluggable connector and the mating connector are engaged. However, currently used pluggable connectors may have certain limitations due to unwanted electromagnetic coupling between differential pairs. For example, some known pluggable connectors are limited to operating speeds less than Gigabit Ethernet transfer rates. If the pluggable connector is operated at speeds above Gigabit Ethernet, unwanted electromagnetic coupling between the differential pairs will compromis...
