Abstract
A high-density connector utilizes a plurality of terminal assemblies that are assembled together into a block, or single unit, to form a connector. Each terminal assembly of the connector utilizes a plurality of conductive terminals having contact portions for mating with an opposing connector, and body portions held within an insulative body portion of the assembly. The assemblies have groups of terminals, or arrays of terminals arranged in a signal-ground-signal order. Flexing portions formed with the terminals are disposed between the contact and body portions. Dielectric spacer elements are disposed between adjacent signal and ground terminal arrays to increase the electrical affinity that the terminals have for each other in their flexing portions. The spacers in one embodiment, engage the signal terminals in their flexing portions, and in another embodiment, they engage individual terminal support bars.
