Patent attributes
An electrical connector includes a housing holding wafer assemblies in a wafer stack each including a wafer body holding a leadframe with signal contacts arranged in pairs and extending between mating ends and mounting ends. Each pair includes a primary signal contact and a secondary signal contact. Each signal contact has a main body extending through the wafer bodies and a mating end extend from the wafer body presented at the mating interface. The mating ends are twisted 45° relative to the main bodies. The mating end of the primary signal contact is arranged at a first side of the main body and the mating end of the secondary signal contact is arranged at a second side of the main body to define a twisted pair interface configured to be mated with the mating signal contacts of the mating electrical connector.
