Abstract:
1. A connector comprising: a housing with a mating face and a support face and a mounting side, wherein a slot is positioned in the mating face, the slot having a first side with a first set of terminal grooves and a second side with a second set of terminal grooves and a width define by the first and second side, and the housing further includes a channel in the support face; a terminal block mounted in the first channel; a first set of terminals insert molded in the terminal block and extending from the mounting side to the first set of terminal grooves, the first set of terminals forming a first row of terminals in the slot, the first row of terminals including a first and second differential pair spaced apart by at least one ground terminal, each of the terminals that form the first and second differential pair including a tail, a contact and a body, wherein the terminal block supports the first set of terminals, wherein the body of each of the terminals that form the first and second differential pair has a block portion and a free portion, the block portion positioned in the terminal block and having a first width and the free portion having a second width greater than the first width; and a second set of terminals extending from the mounting face to the second set of terminal grooves, the second set of terminals forming a second row of terminals, wherein the terminals that form the first and second differential pair are at a first pitch at the contact and are at a second pitch at the body, the second pitch being less than the first pitch, wherein the block portions of the signal terminals that form the differential pair are separated by a first distance and the free portions of the signal terminals that form the differential pair are separated by a second distance, the first distance being greater than the second distance, wherein the block portions are on a third pitch and the free portions are on a fourth pitch and the third pitch is less than the fourth pitch.
