Patent ID: 8267718

Claim:
An electrical connector, comprising: a first shell; an opposing second shell connected to said first shell; a circuit board connected between said first shell and said second shell, said circuit board having a first side and an opposing second side, said circuit board including a plurality of differential pair conductive traces on each of said first side and said second side; a first drain wire termination device connected to said first side approximately at said differential pair conductive traces, said first drain wire termination device including at least one first separator between at least one of said differential pair conductive traces on said first side and another of said differential pair conductive traces on said first side; and a second drain wire termination device connected to said second side approximately at said differential pair conductive traces, said second drain wire termination device including at least one second separator between at least one of said differential pair conductive traces on said second side and another of said differential pair conductive traces on said second side, wherein at least one of said first and second drain wire termination devices includes a reinforcement bar at a front end thereof.
