Abstract
An electrical connector (1) comprises an insulative housing (2) defining a number of passageways (220), and a number of contacts (3) received in the passageways. Each contact has different widths along longitudinal axis thereof for adjusting its own impedance. The housing includes a number of inwardly extending channels (224) communicating with corresponding passageways, a number of slots (222) between adjacent passageways and a number of cavities (206) each communicating with a corresponding passageway to respectively define a first clearance (226), a second clearance (208) and a third clearance (228) between each contact and the housing for adjusting the impedance of the contact.
