An electrical connector comprising a housing and electrical contacts connected to the housing. The electrical contacts comprise paired signal and ground contacts, and additional ground contacts. The additional ground contacts are arranged relative to the paired contacts to divide the paired contacts into subdivisions of equal numbers of the paired contacts. The subdivisions and the additional ground contacts are arranged to allow for multiple relative orientation connections of a mating connector.

1. A method of manufacturing electrical connectors having both single ended signal contacts and differential pair signal contacts comprising the steps of:providing at least two first pairs of single ended signal contacts and respectively paired ground contacts for each of the first pairs of signal contacts in a first subcomponent wafer assembly; providing at least two second pairs of differential pair signal contacts and respectively associated ground contacts for each of the second pairs of signal contacts in a second subcomponent wafer assembly; and connecting the first subcomponent wafer assembly to the second subcomponent wafer assembly to form the electrical connector.
