Abstract
An electrical connector ( ) comprises an insulative housing ( ) and a plurality of upper and lower terminals ( ) received in the insulative housing. The insulative housing includes a plurality of retention walls ( ). Every two adjacent retention walls define a narrow upper passageway ( ) and a wide lower passageway for receiving a corresponding upper terminal. Each of the terminals comprises a mounting plate ( ), a resilient arm ( ) with a contacting portion ( ) at a free end thereof. The upper and lower passageways are wider than the terminals so that different media may be inserted into the insulative housing for tuning differential impedance of the connector.
