Abstract

The invention relates to a method for high-frequency tuning a high-frequency plug connector, comprising a printed circuit board that has both contact points for high-frequency contacts as well as contact points for insulation displacement contacts. Each contact point for the high-frequency contacts is connected to one respective contact point for the insulation displacement contacts. Capacitive couplings, which cause a near-end crosstalk, occur between the high-frequency contacts. At least one first conductor path, which is connected on only one side to a contact point of an electrical contact, is situated on the printed circuit board that, together with at least one second conductor path, which is situated on and/or inthe printed circuit board, forms a capacitor. At least one frequency-dependent parameter of the device is measured, and this frequency-dependent parameter is compared to a set parameter and, according to on a difference between the two, the conductor path that is contacted on one side is partially removed or completely separated.
