Abstract:
An electrical connector suitable for use with an electrical cable, comprising:a connector pin suitable for making contact with at least one of a first pair of electrical conductors, including a first flat conductor surrounded by an insulator; a second flat conductor surrounded by an insulator, wherein the first flat conductor and the second flat conductor are spaced so as to form an electrical differential pair; and a second pair of electrical conductors, including a third flat conductor surrounded by an insulator; a fourth flat conductor surrounded by an insulator, wherein the third flat conductor and the fourth flat conductor are spaced so as to form an electrical differential pair; a spacer is disposed between the first pair of electrical conductors and the second pair of electrical conductors, the spacer formed so as to isolate an electromagnetic field from the first pair of electrical conductors from an electromagnetic field from the second pair of electrical conductors wherein the connector pin includes at least one of: a tip, the tip including a beveled and rounded edge, the beveled and rounded edge protruding at least partially beyond the body of the connector pin; and a bulge located above the tip, the bulge suitable for providing a mechanical pressure point to apply electrical contact to the conductor in a cable after insulation is displaced by the connector pin.
