An electrical connector formed from a plurality of modules. The connector relays differential pairs of signals, with the signal conductors that define each of the differential pairs residing on different modules in a twin-ax configuration. The modules can include one or more circuit substrates. The conductors on adjacent circuit substrates can have a mirror image relationship.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] An electrical connector comprising:a housing; anda circuit module mountable in the housing, comprising:a pair of substantially parallel signal conductors disposed within the module, each extending from a first region of the module to a second region of the module along respective outer surfaces of the module, and having a contact pad at said second region for receiving a conductive element extending along said respective outer surfaces of said module; andat least two electrical contact terminals, each terminal being electrically connected to one of the signal conductors in the first region and extending along said respective outer surfaces of said module, said signal conductors being arranged substantially symmetrically about a longitudinal plane of the module, whereby the signal conductors constitute substantial mirror-images of each other about said longitudinal plane.
