Electrical connector having resonance control

An electrical connector comprising:

• a connector housing having a front side configured to mate with a mating connector and a mounting side configured to be mounted to a circuit board;
• signal and ground conductors extending through the connector housing, the signal and ground conductors configured to engage the mating connector and be terminated to the circuit board, the signal conductors forming a plurality of signal pairs configured to carry differential signals, the ground conductors being interleaved between the signal pairs to form a plurality of ground-signal-signal-ground (GSSG) sub-arrays, each GSSG sub-array including a corresponding signal pair and first and second ground conductors that separate the corresponding signal pair from adjacent signal pairs;
• and
• a plurality of resonance-control bridges in which each resonance-control bridge of said plurality electrically couples the first and second ground conductors of a corresponding GSSG sub-array, each of the resonance-control bridges including at least one of a capacitor or a resistor;
• wherein the connector housing further comprises a housing side and the signal and ground conductors form a first conductor row and a second conductor row, the resonance-control bridges being coupled to the first and second ground conductors of the first conductor row through the housing side, the resonance-control bridges being coupled to the first and second ground conductors of the second conductor row through the mounting side.
