Abstract
A connector includes a dielectric having a mating face, an inner contact disposed in the dielectric, and a conductive layer disposed on or within the mating face. The conductive layer is electrically isolated from the inner contact.
Claims20
A connector, comprising:
- a dielectric having a mating face facing in a longitudinal direction in which the connector is mated with a mating connector;
- an inner contact disposed in the dielectric;
- and
- a conductive layer disposed over the mating face and covering a portion of the mating face along the longitudinal direction, the conductive layer is electrically isolated from the inner contact.
