  • Patent number: 11495917
    Abstract: An electrical connector has a row of signal contacts, and a ground shield disposed inwardly from the signal contacts. Each of the signal and ground contacts has a first segment and a second segment. Each first segment defines a mounting end that can mount to a first electrical component, and each second segment defines a mating end that can mate with a second electrical component. The first and second segments of each signal contact and the ground contact are angularly offset from one another so as to define an angle of between 75 degrees and 105 degrees between the first and second segments. The first and second segments of each signal contact and the ground contact can be coupled to one another to define the angle. Alternatively, the signal and ground contacts can be bent along a common bend line that intersects the signal contacts and the ground contact.
