An electrical connector of an electrical connector assembly. The electrical connector includes a housing with a mating face for mating with a mating electrical connector. Contact receiving cavities extend into the housing from the mating face. Contacts are provided in the contact receiving cavities. Mating portions of the contacts extend from the mating face in a direction away from the housing. Protrusions extend from the mating face in a direction away from the housing. The protrusions extend proximate edges of the mating portions of the contacts. The protrusions form reverse chamfers which cooperate with lead-in chamfers provided in a surface of the mating electrical connector. The positioning of the protrusions in the lead-in chamfers fills in air gaps provided by the lead-in chamfers to provide an impedance match along the mating portions of the contacts when the electrical connector is mated with the mating electrical connector.

An electrical connector includes: an insulating body; and a first row of terminals and a second row of terminals housed in the insulating body, each terminal in the first row of terminals having a tail portion, a contact portion, and a body portion, the first row of terminals including a signal terminal pair having a pair of signal terminals and a ground terminal arranged on one side of the signal terminal pair, wherein a first center distance between the contact portions of the signal terminal pair is different from a second center distance between the contact portion of the ground terminal and the contact portion of an adjacent signal terminal.

An electrical connector includes an insulating body having a mating surface. An insertion slot is concavely provided on the mating surface. Two side walls are located at two sides of the insertion slot. A slot bottom surface is formed on a concave direction of the insertion slot. One of the side walls is provided with aground accommodating slot and a signal accommodating slot. A signal terminal and a ground terminal are provided on the one of the side walls. The signal terminal is accommodated in the signal accommodating slot. The ground terminal is accommodated in the ground accommodating slot. A side of the insulating plug member has a first portion corresponding to the signal accommodating slot and a second portion corresponding to the ground accommodating slot. The first portion is accommodated in the signal accommodating slot and is provided closer to the mating surface than the slot bottom surface.

An electrical connector is used to electrically connect a first component and a second component, including: an insulating body, having an insertion slot for the first component to insert backward therein; multiple terminals, having at least one pair of first signal terminals. Each terminal has a contact portion and a tail portion provided in the front-rear direction. The contact portion is provided relatively in front of the bottom surface and protrudes into the insertion slot to be electrically connected to the first component. The tail portion is electrically connected to the second component. Each terminal further has a connecting portion located between the contact portion and the tail portion. An insulating block is used to fix the terminal. The connecting portion of each terminal extends forward from the front surface of the insulating block and passes beyond the bottom surface. A portion of the connecting portion of each terminals not passing forward beyond the bottom surface is defined as an adjusting portion. A medium between the two adjusting portions of each pair of first signal terminals is completely a first medium. A dielectric coefficient of the first medium is less than a dielectric coefficient of the insulating body.

An electrical connector includes a housing and a pair of contact wafers. Each contact wafer includes an insulative plate and a plurality of contacts. The contacts include a plurality of grounding contacts and plural differential-pair contacts. Each contact includes a contacting section extending beyond a front edge of the plate, a tail section exposed outside of a bottom edge of the plate and a connecting section linked between the contacting section and the tail section. The plate includes a plurality of first through holes formed along the connecting section of each grounding contact, and a plurality of second through holes formed along the connecting sections of each pair of the differential-pair contacts. The first through holes and the second through hole are essentially offset from each other in both the first direction and the second direction which are perpendicular to each other.

A connector including a contact element arranged in an interior of the connector and contacting an electrical connection element and an impedance improving element located at a side of the electrical connection element. The impedance improving element has a reception channel through which the contact element extends and a deformation section adapted to be deformed at least one of radially and axially.

A high speed connector includes an insulated shelter for accommodating at least one main body. The main body includes at least one terminal group integrated with the main body by having two opposing sides thereof to extend out of the main body, in which the two opposing sides are defined as a contact portion and a welding portion, respectively. The terminal group further includes a plurality of terminals. The insulated plastic element has a slot for enclosing up terminal group, and a height of a section in the slot is larger than a thickness of the plurality of terminals, so that at least one gap can be formed in the slot. By having the gap, dielectric coefficients and electromagnetic properties around the terminals can be adjusted to reduce the crosstalk effects upon the signal terminals. In addition, an insulated plastic element is also provided.

A modular electrical connector facilitates low loss connections to components on a printed circuit board. A portion is of the connector is formed of one or more first type units with conductive elements designed to be attached to a printed circuit board. Signals passing through those units may be routed to components on the printed circuit board through traces in the board. One or more second type units may be integrated with the connector. Those units may be designed for attachment to a cable, which may provide signal paths to a location on the printed circuit board near relatively distant components.
