More Information
Summary:Electrical connector includes a connector body having a front side configured to engage a mating connector and a mounting side configured to engage an electrical component. The electrical connector also includes a conductor array including a plurality of signal conductors and a plurality of ground conductors that extend through the connector body. The plurality of signal conductors includes adjacent signal conductors and the plurality of ground conductors include first and second ground conductors that are positioned between the adjacent signal conductors. The first and second ground conductors are separated from each other by a physical gap. The electrical connector also includes first and second resonance-control elements attached to the first and second ground conductors, respectively, within the gap between grounds. The first and second resonance-control elements are spaced from each other and include at least one of an electrically-lossy or magnetically-lossy material.
