Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention relates to an electrical connector having an electrically insulating contact carrier and at least one electrically conductive contact element which is provided with an impedance equalization element. In particular, the present invention relates to an electrical connector which has defined impedance properties, both with and without shielding. In order to adjust the impedance of the connector ( 100 ) in at least a portion of the region in which the at least one contact element ( 104 ) is arranged, at least one impedance equalization element ( 112 ) is provided on the contact carrier ( 102 ) and integrated therewith, wherein the impedance equalization element ( 112 ) has an electrically conductive, substantially planar structure, which is arranged with respect to the at least one contact element ( 104 ) with a predetermined spacing which is dependent on the impedance value to be adjusted.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. An electrical connector having an electrically insulating contact carrier and having an electrically conductive contact element which is retained in the contact carrier, wherein, in order to adjust the impedance of the connector in at least a portion of the region in which the at least one contact element is arranged, at least one impedance equalisation element is provided on the contact carrier and integrated therewith, wherein the impedance equalis…
