1. A push-on high frequency differential connector sleeve comprising:
- an outer body having an outer surface and an inner surface, the inner surface defining an internal opening between a first end and a second end, and a first opening and a second opening in the outer body between the inner and outer surfaces, the first opening extending from the first end toward a center portion and the second opening extending from the second end toward the center portion of the outer body;
a tubular body disposed in the internal opening in the outer body, the tubular body engaging the inner surface of the outer body, wherein the tubular body comprises a projection engaging a corresponding depression in the inner surface of the outer body;
a dielectric member disposed in the tubular body, the dielectric member having two openings therein to receive two electrical conductors; and
two electrical conductors disposed in the two openings in the dielectric member, wherein the two electrical conductors extend from the first end toward a center portion and the second end toward the center portion allowing for the blind mating of two connectors with the connector sleeve at either end of the sleeve.

Abstract
The differential pair system includes a push-on high frequency differential connector sleeve and push-on high frequency differential connector. The system allows for blind mating of the two components, using a keying system for the two electrical conductors to be axially and radially aligned.
