A method including providing a contact lead frame comprised of a sheet metal member, where the contact lead frame includes a plurality of first signal contacts and a plurality of second ground contacts, where the first signal contacts have a male termination end with a first effective thickness which is substantially the same as thickness of the sheet metal member, and stamping a male termination end of the second ground contact, located at a same side of the lead frame as the male termination end of the first signal contacts, to form a dual beam structure having a second effective thickness which is larger than the first effective thickness, where two beams of the dual beam structure are generally parallel to each other along a majority of length of the male termination end of the second ground contact.
