1. An electrical connector comprising:

  • a housing;

    a plurality of conductive elements comprising intermediate portions held within the housing, the plurality of conductive elements comprising at least one pair comprising a first conductive element and a second conductive element, the first conductive element being longer than the second conductive element,wherein;

    the housing comprises a first region of a first dielectric constant and a second region of a second dielectric constant;

    the second dielectric constant is lower than the first dielectric constant;

    the second region is preferentially positioned over the first conductive element for a distance along a length of the first conductive element;

    the first conductive element comprises a widened portion adjacent the second region; and

    the second conductive element is jogged adjacent the second region.
