An electrical connector having a leadframe housing, a first electrical
contact fixed in the leadframe housing, a second electrical contact fixed
adjacent to the first electrical contact in the leadframe housing, and a
third electrical contact fixed adjacent to the second electrical contact
in the leadframe housing is disclosed. Each of the first and second
electrical contacts may be selectively designated, while fixed in the
lead frame housing, as either a ground contact or a signal contact such
that, in a first designation, the first and second contacts form a
differential signal pair, and, in a second designation, the second
contact is a single-ended signal conductor. The third electrical contact
may be a ground contact having a terminal end that extends beyond
terminal ends of the first and second contacts.
