Abstract
A compact electrical connector has first contacts () with a first characteristic impedance (50 ohms) and second contacts () with a second characteristic impedance (100 ohms), with each set of contacts having a separate electrical ground (G, G). The first contacts lie in passages of a first insulative holder (), with the first contacts arranged in three rows () wherein the middle row is offset from the top and bottom rows to maintain a constant contact spacing. The second contacts () lie in two vertically elongated insulative holders () that each lies at one end of the first holder, with each holder having a grounded second contact () and with each holder projecting into a recess () at the end of the frame that receives the first holder.
