Abstract:
Electrical connector includes a housing and a mating array having a plurality of signal contacts and a plurality of ground contacts that are coupled to the housing. The signal contacts and the ground contacts are positioned for mating with signal conductors and ground conductors, respectively, of a mating connector. The ground contacts are plated with a ground-material composition and the signal contacts are plated with a signal-material composition. The ground-material composition is configured to cause a first low-level contact resistance (LLCR) while mated with the ground conductors during operation. The signal-material composition is configured to cause a second LLCR while mated with the signal conductors during operation. The second LLCR is less than the first LLCR during operation.

Claim (Index 18):
An electrical connector comprising:\n a housing; and a mating array comprising a plurality of signal contacts and a plurality of ground contacts that are coupled to the housing, the signal contacts and the ground contacts being positioned for mating with signal conductors and ground conductors, respectively, of a mating connector; wherein the ground contacts have a plated layer that includes a precious metal and the signal contacts have a plated layer that includes the precious metal, the plated layers of the ground contacts and the plated layers of the signal contacts having different thicknesses, wherein the thickness of the plated layers of the signal contacts is greater than the thickness of the plated layers of the ground contacts.
