  • Patent number: 7856709
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for high-frequency tuning a high-frequency plug connector, comprising a printed circuit board that has both contact points for high-frequency contacts as well as contact points for insulation displacement contacts. Each contact point for the high-frequency contacts is connected to one respective contact point for the insulation displacement contacts. Capacitive couplings, which cause a near-end crosstalk, occur between the high-frequency contacts. At least one first conductor path, which is connected on only one side to a contact point of an electrical contact, is situated on the printed circuit board that, together with at least one second conductor path, which is situated on and/or in the printed circuit board, forms a capacitor.
