Patent ID: 6923664

Claim:
A plug connector for differential transmission, comprising: a block body made of an insulating material, the block body including a main body part and a projection part projecting therefrom; a plurality of plate-like ground contact members each including a plate-like base part, a ground contact part on a first side of the base part, and a mounting terminal part on a second side of the base part opposite to the first side, the base part and the ground contact part being fixed to the main body part and the projection part, respectively, of the block body; a plurality of first signal contact members each including a base part, a signal contact part on a first side of the base part, and a mounting terminal part on a second side of the base part opposite to the first side, the base part and the signal contact part being fixed to the main body part and the projection part, respectively, of the block body; and a plurality of second signal contact members each including a base part, a signal contact part on a first side of the base part, and a mounting terminal part on a second side of the base part opposite to the first side, the base part and the signal contact part being fixed to the main body part and the projection part, respectively, of the block body, wherein: the first signal contact members and the corresponding second signal contact members form signal contact pairs; the signal contact pairs and the ground contact members are arranged alternately, being supported by the block body; each ground contact member is shaped so that the ground contact member thereof is positioned vertically at a distance from a plane in which the mounting terminal part thereof is disposed, and a portion of the base part thereof on a mounting terminal part side and the mounting terminal part thereof each have a dimension smaller than that of the ground contact part thereof in a direction in which the ground contact members are arranged; each of the first and second signal contact members is shaped so that a length adjustment part and an extension part are provided between the base part and the mounting terminal part thereof; and the mounting terminal parts of the first and second signal contact members and the mounting terminal parts of the ground contact members are positioned in the same plane so that the mounting terminal parts of the first and second signal contact members of each signal contact pair are disposed between the mounting terminal parts of the ground contact members adjacent to the signal contact pair.
