Abstract
An electrical connector having one or more openings formed in the connector's housing between adjacent rows of conductors. The openings may be positioned between rows of contact portions, and reduces crosstalk between conductors in adjacent rows. The opening(s) may extend through the entire length of the connector's housing. The opening(s) may have any suitable shape. In some embodiments, the openings may comprise a slot, bifurcated by crossbeams. The crossbeams may have ends positioned between signal conductors in the same row of the same type, either signal or ground. Alternatively or additionally, the crossbeams may be angled with respect to the rows of contacts such that the ends are positioned proximate conductors of a first type in one row and proximate conductors of a second type in another row.
