Abstract

DC60 (20/12/42) The method and structure of an electrical connector devised for adjusting the complex resistance of various connectors in an electrical connector. The electrical connector includes a dielectric cover with multiple connector slots. Multiple connectors are molded from sheet metal material, each connector having a contact at one end and a connecting part at the opposite end. The contacts have a contact area that connects to the coupling connector of the auxiliary coupling connector. The contacts (excluding the contact area) or the gap are trimmed to a specified size to change the plate area of the contact or the tail, in order to adjust the complex resistance of the connector.
