Patent ID: 7351120

Claim:
An electrical connector comprising: a housing; a moveable structure including a plurality of upper return signal conductors and a plurality of lower return signal conductors disposed on a moveable block, the pluralities of upper signal return conductors and lower signal return conductors including a plurality of conductive strips, with a conductive strip of the plurality of conductive strips corresponding to each return signal conductor; a fixed structure including a plurality of lower signal conductors and a plurality of upper signal conductors, each signal conductor corresponding to and electrically coupled to one of the plurality of return signal conductors, the pluralities of upper signal conductors and lower signal conductors including a plurality of conductive bands, a conductive band of the plurality of conductive bands corresponding to each signal conductor, the electrical coupling being established by substantially overlapping each conductive band with a corresponding conductive strip; and a set screw having a head captured in the housing and a threaded end inserted in the movable structure, rotating the set screw causing the moveable structure to move longitudinally in relation to the fixed structure thereby adjusting the overlap of each signal conductor with the corresponding return signal conductor and adjusting an electrical coupling of each of signal conductor with the corresponding return signal conductor.
