Abstract
A connector (400), such as a plug or a receptacle, has reduced cross-talk. The connector has a conductive plate (305), first and second insulators (310A, 310B) on either side of the conductive plate, leads (115) outside of the insulators, the leads being formed from first and second lead-frames, at least one of the leads (115, 315) having at least one tab or extension (320) which capacitively or conductively couples the lead to the conductive plate. The plate (305) may include an extension shaft (540), and a lateral extension (320) from a lead may be placed into contact with the shaft. A lateral extension (320E) formed on a rear portion of a lead may be placed into contact with a rear portion of the conductive plate (305B1) or with an opposing lead. Some of the leads may include severable tie bars (705).
