ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to an electrical connector, such as a modular plug, which offers improved transmission performance, particularly reduced crosstalk and decreased insertion loss. The connector, in its preferred embodiment, comprises a dielectric housing having a central cavity therein extending from a conductor receiving end to a conductor termination end. The termination end includes a plurality of individual staggered slots, each slot receiving an insulated conductor, and means communicating with each slot for receiving a single insulation piercing blade to electrically engage a conductor within the slot. The blades are arranged in plural longitudinally aligned planes and consist of an insulation piercing end and an opposite end for electrically engaging complementary terminals in a matable connector. The blades are further aligned in staggered relationship in two transverse planes while the respective insulation piercing ends are transversely staggered. By this arrangement decreased capacitance coupling and mutual inductances between adjacent conductors is achieved.
