Patent ID: 8777640

Claim:
Electrical connector with an electrically insulating contact carrier and with at least one electrically conducting contact element which is held in the contact carrier, wherein at least one impedance correction element is arranged in the contact carrier for setting the impedance of the connector in the region in which the at least one contact element is arranged; wherein the at least one contact element comprises a contact pin angled through 90° and wherein the impedance correction element comprises an electrically conductive impedance correction pin parallel to the contact pin, and the at least one electrically conducting contact element has a connection region for connecting a first external component and a contact region for contacting a second external component, the connection region and the contact region being joined together by a connecting region and a large number of contact elements, which are arranged symmetrically in a cross section of the connecting region, being arranged in the contact carrier, and the contact carrier has, in the vicinity of the connecting region, a borehole arranged symmetrically in relation to the contact elements, and the impedance correction element comprises the electrically conductive impedance correction pin received in the borehole and the impedance of the electrical connector is set via the position of the impedance correction pin in the borehole.
