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 34):
The electrical connector of  claim 23 , wherein:\n the at least one shield member and the pair of signal conductors comprise a first module; and the electrical connector comprises a plurality of additional modules, each of the plurality of additional modules 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: \n a plurality of end portions, comprising at least a first end portion and a second end portion; \n a contact tail formed at the first end portion; \n a mating contact portion formed at the second end portion; \n an intermediate portion joining the first end portion and the second end portion; \n at least one insulative housing portion holding the pair of signal conductors; and \n at least one shield member extending around the pair of signal conductors and \n separate from the pair of signal conductors by the at least one insulative housing portion; wherein:\n the module and the plurality of additional modules are arranged in a column such that the edge coupled end portions of the signal conductors in the module and the additional modules are aligned parallel to the column.
