  • Patent number: 5779503
    Abstract: A high frequency electrical connector having a dielectric block onto which a terminal array of four pairs of electrical conductors are connected, the resulting assembly residing in a jack frame housing configured to removably receive a mating plug. The connector has a planar spring contact region for electrically contacting a corresponding planar contact region of the mating plug, a curved forefront region whereat non-electrical contact cross-overs of the terminal array conductors occurs, and a planar back region where reverse crosstalk is generated. The connector substantially compensates for crosstalk generated at the mating plug and connector contact regions. The configuration of the planar contact region of the mating plug and planar spring contact region of the connector is dictated by industry standards.
