Patent ID: 8657631

Claim:
An electrical connector, comprising: a housing having a base with a mounting face and a nose extending from the base, the nose including a mating face with two slots disposed therein, each slot including first and second sides; and a plurality of conductive terminals arranged in first and second arrays respectively disposed along the first and second side of each slot, each array including at least two signal terminals that form a differential signal pair, the signal terminals including a contact disposed in the slot, a tail disposed proximate to the mounting face, and a body interconnecting the contact and tail together, the body further including a first and second leg extending within the housing and spaced apart from each other, and a jog interconnecting the first and second leg, the jog extending at an angle to the first and second leg, wherein the jog of the first array extends in a first direction away from the card slot first side, and the jog of the second array extends in the first direction such that a portion of the second array second leg extends beneath the slot, wherein the terminals are positioned in a first and second signal wafer and the terminals in the first and second signal wafer are broad-side coupled from the contact to the second leg so as to form differentially coupled signal pairs within the first and second wafer.
