Electrical connector having a crosstalk prevention member

An electrical connector comprising:

• a housing having a receiving hole;
• a first contact group and a second contact group, arranged on opposite sides of the receiving hole in the housing;
• and
• a conductive member to be received in the receiving hole in the housing to be interposed between the first contact group and the second contact group,
• wherein at least one of the first and second contact groups includes a ground contact;
• the conductive member received in the receiving hole of the housing is in contact with the ground contact;
• the conductive member includes a grounding portion in the form of a projection that is in contact with the ground contact;
• the conductive member comprises a plate-like non-conductive material with peripheral surfaces thereof coated with metal;
• and
• the grounding portion comprises the projection provided on the non-conductive material and coated with the metal.

• and
• the conductive member includes:
• a first crosstalk reducer on a leading end side thereof, being interposed between middle portions of signaling contacts of the first contact group and middle portions of signaling contacts of the second contact group;
• and
• a second crosstalk reducer on a rear end side thereof, being interposed between rear end portions of the signaling contacts of the first contact group and rear end portions of the signaling contacts of the second contact group.

An electrical connector comprising:

• a housing having a receiving hole;
• a first contact group and a second contact group, arranged on opposite sides of the receiving hole in the housing;
• and
• a multilayer circuit board to be received in the receiving hole of the housing and be interposed between the first and second contact groups, wherein
• at least one of the first and second contact groups includes a ground contact;
• the multilayer circuit board includes:
• a solid conductor layer provided inside the multilayer board;
• a ground conductor provided on at least one of opposite surfaces of the multilayer circuit board;
• and
• a via hole connecting between the solid conductor layer and the ground conductor;
• and
• when the multilayer circuit board is received in the receiving hole, the ground conductor of the multilayer circuit board is in contact with the ground contact.

An electrical connector comprising:

• a housing having a receiving hole;
• a first contact group and a second contact group, arranged on opposite sides of the receiving hole in the housing, at least one of the first and second contact groups including a ground contact;
• and
• a conductive member configured to be received in the receiving hole in the housing to be interposed between the first contact group and the second contact group and in contact with the ground contact, the conductive member including:
• a non-conductive portion of plate-like shape having a peripheral surface, and
• a metal portion configured to coat the peripheral surface of the non-conductive member.
