Abstract
A connector for use with high speed signals. The connector has a housing, which includes a base portion extending in a longitudinal direction and a tongue portion extending from the base portion in a mating direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction. The housing has slots extending through the base portion to surfaces of the tongue portion and configured to hold terminals. The housing has a lossy material sized and shaped to couple with at least the portions of ground terminals held in the base portion along their lengths. The lossy material may protrude towards spaces between the portions of signal terminals held in the base portion along their lengths. The tail portions of the terminals may jog toward a plane that the lossy material extends. Such a connector may be used to meet signal integrity requirements in connectors designed for 64 Gbps and beyond.
