Abstract
Abstract An electrical connector for the specifications beyond CAT5e includes a plurality of metal contact assemblies, a housing, and a slit base. The slit base has a plurality of slits for inserting therein the plurality of metal contact assemblies, and the housing has a slot for slidably receiving the slit base and has a plurality of openings for exposing a portion of the metal contact assemblies. Each of the metal contact assembly includes a first metal contact and a second metal contact. Each of the first metal contact has a first contact part and each of the second metal contact has a third contact part. Both of the first and third contact parts are used for making an electrical contact external to the housing. Each of the first metal contact has a second contact part and each of the second metal contact has a fourth contact part, and both of the second and fourth contact parts are used for welding on a printed circuit board (PCB), displacing the wire insulation, piercing a cable and electrically connecting with the cable, or fixing a cord by means of squeezing. The first metal contact and the second metal contact are inserted into the slits in turn and in parallel so as to form a desired capacitance for reducing the crosstalk interference.
