1. An electrical connector comprising:
a substrate extending along a first direction;
a pitch transformation routing assembly formed on the substrate and comprising a plurality of pitch transformation routing members;
a first plurality of contact members, wherein each contact member extends away in a second direction from a first end of a corresponding pitch transformation routing member, the second direction being perpendicular to the first direction; and
a second plurality of contact members, wherein each contact member extends away in the second direction from a second end of a corresponding pitch transformation routing member, the second end opposite the first end of the corresponding pitch transformation routing member,
wherein each pitch transformation routing member comprises a plurality of routing sections, each routing section extending in the first direction or the second direction, and wherein, in a first subset of the pitch transformation routing members, the pitch transformation routing members have routing sections with different dimensions in the first direction and the second direction.
