| 1. An electrical connector for mounting in a substrate comprising:
a housing;
a plurality of signal contacts positioned in the housing, each contact defining a mating end and a mounting end, the mating
end and the mounting end each defining a width;
wherein the mounting end of each signal contact comprises a compliant pin section that defines a width that is less than about
60% of the width of the mating end of the signal contact;
wherein the connector has a contact density of at least 90 signal contacts per square inch; and
wherein the connector has a worst case multi-aggressor asynchronous differential cross-talk of less than about three percent
at an initial rise time of approximately 40 picoseconds.
