Abstract
An electrical connector, capable of reducing return loss, includes a case, a wiring base, four pairs of contacts and a bottom piece. Three pairs of contacts are fixed by the wiring base and the bottom piece. Another pair of contacts is mounted on the bottom side of the bottom piece. The contacts can further be formed into a necked portion to improve communication performance. The electrical connector has a simpler construction to be easily fabricated. It reduces attenuation, near-end cross talk and return loss, and meets the Category 5e, EIA/TIA standard.
