ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a connector including an insulative body; a first differential signaling contact, disposed inside the body; a second differential signaling contact, disposed inside the body in spaced relation to and at an equal height level to the first differential contact; and a third contact, disposed inside the body, at a different height level from the differential signaling contacts, and positioned between the differential signaling contacts and offset toward one of the differential signaling contacts. The third contact includes a first overlapping portion that overlaps in plane position with the first differential signaling contact; and a second overlapping portion that overlaps in plane position with the second differential signaling contact. Overlap areas of the first and second overlapping portions relative to the first and second differential signaling contacts, respectively, are adjusted in accordance with an impedance difference between the first and second differential signaling contacts.
