Low cross talk and impedance controlled electrical connector

Abstract

Disclosed is an electrical connector in which the conductive and dielectric elements are arranged in a composite I-beam shaped geometry in which the conductive element is perpendicularly interposed between two parallel dielectric and ground plane elements. Low cross talk and controlled impedance are found to result from the use of this geometry.

Description

[0001] The patent application of the present invention is a divisional application with the application number 200410007330.X, the application date is June 11, 1996, and the invention name is "electrical connector and cable assembly with low crosstalk and controlled impedance". technical field [0002] The present invention relates to electrical connectors, and more particularly, the present invention relates to electrical connectors including means for controlling electrical crosstalk and impedance. Background technique [0003] In prior art electrical connectors, with increased interconnect density and contact spacing approaching 0.025 inches or 0.5 mm, the extremely close proximity of contacts increases the likelihood of strong electrical crosstalk coupling between contacts . In addition, it becomes increasingly difficult to maintain control over the design of the electrical characteristic impedance between the contacts. In most interconnects, the paired plug / receptacle ...
