Abstract:
1. An electrical connector comprising: a connector body configured to receive a mating connector; a plurality of mating conductors and configured to transmit signal current, wherein each of the mating conductors extends between an engagement portion and an interior portion of the respective mating conductor, the engagement portions of the mating conductors configured to engage contacts of the mating connector, the engagement portions being located proximate to one another at a first nodal region, the interior portions of the mating conductors being located proximate to one another at a second nodal region; a first open-ended conductor electrically connected to the engagement portion of a first mating conductor of the plurality of mating conductors and extending from the first nodal region; and a second open-ended conductor electrically connected to the interior portion of a second mating conductor of the plurality of mating conductors and extending from the second nodal region, wherein the first open-ended conductor is capacitively coupled to the second open-ended conductor.
