Abstract

Electrical connectors having improved impedance characteristics are disclosed. Such an electrical connector may include a first electrically conductive contact, and a second electrically conductive contact disposed adjacent to the first contact along a first direction. A mating end of the second contact may be staggered in a second direction relative to a mating end of the first contact. Alternatively or additionally, a respective mating end of each of the first and second contacts may be rotated relative to the first direction.
