Abstract
In a connector adapted to be connected to a mating object in a first direction, a plurality of contacts arranged in a second direction intersecting the first direction. Each of the contacts includes a contacting portion to be contacted with a mating object and an intermediate portion between the contacting portion and a terminal portion. The contacts includes a plurality of paired signal contacts and a plurality of ground contacts. A combination of the paired signal contacts in one of the rows and the ground contact in the other row forms a first set. A combination of the paired signal contacts in the other row and the ground contact in the one row forms a second set. Adjacent ones of the intermediate portions in the first and the second sets are shifted in position from each other in the first direction.
