Abstract:
A low crosstalk connector configuration, comprising:a connector terminal face having an approximately square terminal configuration;at least three pairs of elongated parallel electrical connector terminals, wherein each pair of terminals is situated at a different corner of the configuration and is aligned in a plane normal to the terminal face;a first pair of electrical connector terminals at a first corner of the configuration is aligned in a first plane that is substantially parallel to a second plane in which a second pair of terminals at a second corner diagonally opposite the first corner, is aligned;a first separation distance between midpoints of the first and the second pairs of electrical connector terminals in a direction parallel to said planes, is substantially equal to a second separation distance between the midpoints in a direction perpendicular to said planes; anda third pair of electrical connector terminals at a third corner of the configuration is aligned in a third plane that is perpendicular to the first and the second planes, and said third plane coincides with a point between either of the first or the second pair of terminals.
