Abstract
A connector for controlling impedance for use in a connector assembly, the connector has a housing made of dielectric material. The housing has a first conductor receiving opening and a second conductor receiving opening which are dimensioned to receive exposed conductors of a cable. The first conductor receiving opening and the second conductor receiving opening have conductor receiving portions, the conductor receiving portions extending at an angle relative to a longitudinal axis of the housing. The first conductor receiving opening and the second conductor receiving opening have conductor spacing portions which extend from the conductor receiving opening. The conductor spacing portions extend in a direction which is essentially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the housing. The spacing portions are spaced apart by a distance. The dielectric material and the distance the spacing portions are spaced apart being selected to match the impedance of the cable.
