To provide a communication connector with crosstalk compensation.
A communication connector 10 includes a housing 12 with an opening for receiving a mating connector 15. First and second pairs of terminal contact wires 24 are supported in the housing 12, and each pair forms a different signal path. The terminal contact wires 24 have base portions 26, free ends 28, and intermediate co-planar contact portions 30 that establish points of electrical contact with corresponding terminals 18 of a mating connector 15. First and second pairs of elongated, parallel capacitor plates 34 are fixed at corresponding free ends 28 of the contact wires 24. The plates of each pair of capacitor plates 34 capacitively couple an associated terminal contact wire of the one pair of contact wires, with an associated terminal contact wire of the other pair of contact wires.
