Abstract:
1. A printed circuit board for an electrical connector, comprising: a plurality of pairs of first contacts arranged at a first end of the printed circuit board; a plurality of pairs of second contacts arranged at a second end of the printed circuit board; a plurality of slots formed in the printed circuit board and extending inwardly from the second end of the printed circuit board; first circuit traces arranged at least on a first side of the printed circuit board and connecting each of the first contacts to respective second contacts; second circuit traces arranged on an opposite side of the printed circuit board from the first side, each of said second circuit traces being connected to a first contact or a second contact, wherein: a first contact of each pair of first contacts is connected to a second circuit trace from among the second circuit traces, and wherein each of the second circuit traces connected to first contacts include portions at least partly parallel with respect to second circuit traces connected to first contacts of adjacent pairs of first contacts, forming first inductive coupling regions; and a second contact of each pair of second contacts is connected to second circuit trace from among the second circuit traces, and wherein each of the second circuit traces connected to second contacts include portions at least partly parallel with respect to second circuit traces connected to second contacts of adjacent pairs of second contacts, forming second inductive coupling regions; wherein the first contacts connected to second circuit traces are not connected to the second contacts connected to second circuit traces, and wherein the first inductive coupling regions each have lengths that are shorter than lengths of the second inductive coupling regions.
