An electrical connector includes an insulative housing with a plurality of passageways and a plurality of contacts received therein. The contact includes an upstanding section retained in the passageway with a spring arm extending from an upper region of the upstanding plate and above the mating surface, and a mounting leg extending from a lower region of the upstanding plate around the mounting surface. The spring arm forms a contacting section around a free end thereof. The contact further includes an extension extending from the upstanding section and optimally above the mating surface so as to be located between the spring arm and the mating surface in the vertical direction. The extension and the spring arm are partially overlapped in the vertical direction and results in the capacitance effect therebetween, thus lowering impedance.

Electrical connector transmitting high frequency signals

A plurality of contact are received within the corresponding passageways of the insulative housing of an electrical connector, respectively. Each contact has juxtaposed first body and second body angled with each other via a connecting section linked therebetween. A resilient contacting section extends upwardly from the first body. A spring arm extends upward from the first body and includes a wide plate section adjacent to the first body and a narrow bulged contacting section at a top thereof. During operation, the plate section is parallel to a top face of the housing in a compressed manner.

Electrical contact of electrical connector

An electrical connector includes an insulative housing with a plurality of passageways and a plurality of contacts received therein. The contact includes an upstanding section retained in the passageway with a spring am extending from an upper region of the upstanding plate and above the mating surface, and a mounting leg extending from a lower region of the upstanding plate around the mounting surface. The spring arm forms a contacting section around a free end thereof. The contact further includes an extension extending from the upstanding section and optimally above the mating surface so as to be located between the spring arm and the mating surface in the vertical direction. The extension and the spring arm are partially overlapped in the vertical direction and results in the capacitance effect therebetween, thus lowering impedance.

An electrical connector includes an insulative housing with a plurality of passageways and a plurality of contacts received therein. The housing includes opposite mating surface and mounting surface in the vertical direction. The contact includes an upstanding section retained in the passageway with a spring arm extending from an upper region of the upstanding plate and above the mating surface, and a mounting leg extending from a lower region of the upstanding plate around the mounting surface. The spring arm forms a contacting section around a free end thereof. One additional layer structure extends backwardly from a front end of the spring arm in a compressive folded manner and intimately abuts against the spring arm in the vertical direction.
