  • at least one first conductor providing an interface with the electrical connection device, the at least one first conductor having a shape that provides a predetermined capacitive and inductive balance in the electrical connector and further comprising at least one integrally formed compliant pin, each of the conductors comprising a bent portion that provides the interface with the electrical connection device, a contact point at the compliant pin opposite the bent portion, and at least one compensation section disposed between the bent portion and the contact point;

    a conductor support device to support the at least one first conductor;

    a housing defining a contact connecting portion to house the conductor support device;

    a connecting device connected to the at least one compliant pin at the contact point;

    at least one second conductor having a contact portion and a bifurcated portion, the at least one second conductor being connected to the connecting device at the contact portion;

    a rear sled portion having at least one slot to receive the bifurcated portion of the at least one second conductor, the rear sled being engageable with the housing; and

    a wire containment fixture to position at least one wire for engagement with the bifurcated portion of the at least one second conductor, the wire containment feature being engageable with the rear sled, the wire containment feature further including a stepped portion to prevent a portion of the at least one wire from extending into the electronic connector beyond a desired position.
