1. Lead arrangement for a connector, comprising:

  • a first lead and a second lead adjacent the first lead fully positioned in the same plane as the first lead, the leads having a first end, a second end and an intermediate portion substantially surrounded, between the first end and the second end, by a first dielectric material;

    wherein a first open channel is arranged in-between the intermediate portions of the first and second leads, the first channel being defined by a web of the first dielectric material between the first and second leads and surfaces of the first dielectric material substantially surrounding the intermediate portions between the first end and the second end of each lead and extending substantially over a length from the first end to the second end of each lead and substantially completely making up the volume in-between said two adjacent leads;

    wherein said channel is filled with a second dielectric medium; and

    further comprising a frame made of dielectric material, wherein the frame comprises at least said first channel arranged in-between the intermediate portions of the first and second leads; and

    wherein at least the first channel is open towards a first side of the assembly along at least a first portion of the length of the channel and is open towards a second side of the assembly along at least a second portion of the length of the channel.
