Abstract:
A modular electrical connector with broad-side coupled signal conductors in a right angle intermediate portion and edge coupled end portions. Broadside coupling provides balanced pairs for very high frequency operation, while edge coupling provides a high density interconnection system at low cost. Each module has separately shielded signal conductor pairs. The shielding is shaped to avoid or suppress undesirable propagation modes within an enclosure formed by shielding per module. Lossy material is selectively placed within and outside the shielding per module to likewise avoid or suppress unwanted signal propagation.

Claim (Index 37):
An electrical connector comprising:\n a pair of signal conductors comprising a first signal conductor and a second signal conductor, each of the first signal conductor and the second signal conductor comprising: a plurality of end portions, comprising at least a first end portion and a second end portion; a contact tail formed at the first end portion; a mating contact portion formed at the second end portion; and an intermediate portion joining the first end portion and the second end portion; wherein the signal conductors of the pair are configured such that:\n the intermediate portion of the first signal conductor is adjacent to and parallel to the intermediate portion of the second signal conductor so as to provide broadside coupling between the intermediate portions of the first signal conductor and the second signal conductor; and \n an end portion of the plurality of end portions of the first signal conductor is adjacent to and aligned with an end portion of the plurality of end portions of the second signal conductor along a direction parallel to the broadsides so as to provide edge coupling between said end portion of the first signal conductor and said end portion of the second signal conductor.
