Claim:
1. An electrical assembly for a connector comprising: an insert having a wire end and a mating end, the insert having a front mounting surface positioned proximate to the wire end of the insert and a rear mounting surface positioned distally from the wire end of the insert, the rear mounting surface vertically displaced from the front mounting surface with respect to a bottom of the insert, wire terminals coupled to the front mounting surface and the rear mounting surface; signal traces extending from the wire end of the insert to the mating end of the insert, each of the signal traces coupled to one of the wire terminals, the signal traces including front signal traces and rear signal traces; and an electro-mechanical compensation positioned between the wire end and the mating end of the insert, the electro-mechanical compensation including a multi-layer circuit board with at least first and second conductive posts extending through layers of the multi-layer circuit board and being connected to respective first and second ones of the signal traces, and first and second conductive pathways connected respectively to the first and second conductive posts to capacitively couple the first and second ones of the signal traces.
