1. An electrically conductive component for controlling impedance of a section of wire positioned in a wire receiving portion of a terminal receiving passage of an electrical connector, the electrically conductive component comprising:
a base wall having end walls, the end walls extending in a direction which is essentially perpendicular to a plane of the base wall, the base wall having a length which is approximately equal to a length of the wire receiving portion of the terminal receiving passage;
insulation displacement slots provided on the end walls, lead-in sections extending from the insulation displacement slots in a direction away from the base wall;
the base wall is spaced from a center conductor of the section of wire by a defined distance, wherein the impedance between the section of wire matches or is approximately the same as the impedance of a twisted portion of wire which is adjacent to the section of wire.
