Abstract
A communication connector assembly has a terminal housing, and a number of electrically conductive connector assembly terminals supported by the housing. The connector assembly terminals have first terminal portions extending from the housing for contacting terminals of a mating connector, and second terminal portions for making electrical connections with outside circuits. An electrical circuit component is disposed adjacent the terminal housing. The component is connected to a contact portion on at least one of the assembly terminals, intermediate a free end of the first terminal portion and the second terminal portion of the assembly terminal. The mating connector is thus connected to the electrical circuit component through the first terminal portions of the assembly terminals, in proximity to the circuit component. The electrical circuit component may be constructed and arranged to compensate for cross talk induced when the mating connector contacts the first terminal portions of the assembly terminals.
