Abstract:
An insulative insert having contacts for signal transmission, comprising:a front end, a rear end, a bottom wall, and a top wall, said top wall defining grooves therein;a first plurality of conductive leads extending from said bottom wall of the insulative insert and across said top wall in a first common plane toward said front end of said insert, thereafter said first plurality of conductive leads forming a first terminal edge by extending toward said rear end of said insulative insert in a first common oblique plane;a second plurality of conductive leads extending from said bottom wall of the insulative insert and across a portion of said top wall in a second common plane, and thereafter angularly toward the front end of said insulative insert in a second common oblique plane forming a second terminal edge which extends forward of said first terminal edge; anda third plurality of conductive leads extending from said bottom wall of the insulative insert and across a first portion of said top wall in said first common plane and then along a second portion of said top wall in said second common plane, said third plurality of conductive leads then extending angularly toward the front end in said second common oblique plane to said second terminal edge;wherein said first oblique plane and said second oblique plane intersect at a contact area.
