Patent ID: 7914304

Claim:
An electrical connector comprising: a first differential pair of signal conductors adapted to mate with a printed circuit board, said first differential pair of signal conductors including a first conductor and a second conductor; said first conductor including a first mating portion at one end and a first contact portion at an opposite end, the first contact portion adapted to mate with the printed circuit board, said first conductor includes a first curved portion between said first mating portion and said first contact portion, wherein the first curved portion is curved in a first transverse direction; and a second transverse direction orthogonal to the first transverse direction; said second conductor including a second mating portion, a second contact portion, the second contact portion adapted to mate with the printed circuit board, said second conductor includes a second curved portion between said second mating portion and said second contact portion, wherein the second curved part is curved in a third transverse direction and a fourth transverse direction orthogonal to the third transverse direction; wherein the first transverse direction and the third transverse direction diverge and the second transverse direction and the fourth transverse direction converge.
