Low cross and impedance controlled electric connector
First Claim
1. An electrical connector comprising a first member comprising a first plurality of a metallic contacts and a dielectric base having a grounding means wherein the metallic contacts project generally perpendicularly from the dielectric base and a second member comprising a second plurality of metallic contacts and a second dielectric base wherein the second plurality of metallic contacts projects generally perpendicularly from the second dielectric base so that each of said plurality of metallic contacts protecting from the first member is in electrical contact which one of said second plurality of metallic contacts projecting from the second member.

Abstract
Disclosed is an electrical connector in which the conductive and dielectric elements are arranged in a composite I-beam shaped geometry in which the conductive element is perpendicularly interposed between two parallel dielectric and ground plane elements. Low cross talk and controlled impedance are found to result from the use of this geometry.

20. An electrical connector comprising:
-
(a) a plug member comprising a plug housing which at least partially encloses a conductive plug contact element and a plug dielectric element wherein said plug contact element extends axially inwardly from said plug dielectric element and said plug dielectric element extends radially outwardly in at least one direction from said plug contact element; and (b) a receptacle member comprising a receptacle housing which at least partially encloses a conductive receptacle contact and a plug dielectric element wherein said receptacle contact element extends axially inwardly from said receptacle dielectric element and said receptacle dielectric element extends radially outwardly in at least one direction from said receptacle contact element and said receptacle housing axially engages said plug housing and said receptacle contact element abuts said plug contact element. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24)
