ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector includes a dielectric housing having a mating end and a cavity extending from the mating end. The cavity is configured to receive a mating connector through the mating end. The electrical connector also includes a contact sub-assembly having an array of contacts. The contact sub-assembly is received in the housing such that each of the contacts are exposed within the cavity to engage the mating connector. Each of the contacts have a beam portion and a tail portion, and each tail portion includes a base section joined to a leg at a bend. The legs extend downward from the mating interfaces in a staggered pattern to form first and second sets of legs aligned in different first and second planes.
