Estimating the term…
An electrical connector comprises a housing having a mating direction, a width direction orthogonal to the mating direction and a height direction orthogonal to the mating direction and the width direction. Low speed signal contacts and high speed signal contacts are arranged in the housing. Ground bars are each disposed between adjacent two of the contacts. A support member is attached to the housing and engaged to the ground bars. The support member has a main body disposed along the width direction and fingers extending laterally from the main body. Each of the fingers being in alignment with one of the low speed signal contacts along the mounting direction. The fingers are positioned away from the high speed contacts to achieve better signal integrity and crosstalk reduction.
An electrical connector, comprising:
A method of constructing an electrical connector, the method comprising:
A method of operating an electrical connector, comprising a conductive body attached to a housing of the electrical connector having a width direction and a mounting direction orthogonal to the width direction, and the conductive body is disposed along the width direction, and wherein fingers extend laterally from the conductive body such that the fingers are aligned with first type signal contacts and two or more second type signal contacts are disposed between adjacent fingers, the method comprising:
