    摘要: A connector that is particularly suitable for use in high speed data transmission is provided in the form of a plug connector (104) that may be terminated to the end of a high speed cable (105). The connector has a plurality of terminals (140, 141, 150, 253, 254) for terminating to respective signal wires, ground wires and power wires of the cable, and also has an additional terminal (252) that serves to detect and identify status information about the cable to circuits on a circuit board to which the cable is connected through the plug connector and a mating receptacle connector (110). This detection terminal is shorted to another terminal of the connector, preferably a power ground, or return, terminal (254). The shorting is done with an electronic component that modifies the voltage passing from the shorted terminal through the detection terminal. The modified voltage may be easily read on the circuit board to determine the status of the cable (such as the speed of the cable), or an electronic device attached thereto.

    摘要: A determination structure for mating a cable connector to a circuit board includes a plurality of associated sets of terminals, each terminal set including a pair of differential signal terminals and a ground reference terminal. Each associated set of terminals is arranged in triangular pattern through the connector in order to reduce the impedance through the connector, and adjacent associated terminal sets are inverted so that the ground reference terminals of alternating associated terminal sets are located along one row of the connector along with signal terminals of intervening terminal sets, while the ground refence terminals of intervening terminal sets are located along a second row of the connector, along with the signal terminals of alternating associated terminal sets. This inverted arrangements increases the density of the connector.

    摘要: A reduced-cross-sectional area, triad transmission line is formed by plating or metallizing surface area of a substrate, along the edge of a slot cut through the substrate. The cross-sectional area of such conductors that faces each other is reduced, reducing the signal coupling between them when they are carrying high-frequency signals. An intervening ground plane between them is provided by metallization on the slot bottom that is held at ground potential.

    摘要: A transmission line for high-frequency differential signals and having a transforming impedance is formed into a substrate. The transmission line is comprised of a first slot, the opposing surfaces of which carry a conductive surface capable of carrying electrical signals. By virtue of their dimensions, spacing and dielectric filler, the conductive surfaces constitute a transmission line. A second slot, also with opposing surfaces, each of which also carry a conductive surface but which are spaced differently than the opposing surfaces of the first slot, provide a second transmission line but with a different impedance. The impedances between the two transmission lines are transformed by an impedance transition section of transmission line that is slot section the dimensions of which are tapered to meet the different slot dimensions of the two different transmission line segments.

    摘要: A terminal contact arrangement for a connector promotes reduction in deviation of the impedance of the connector when mated to an opposing connector and energized. The connector has an insulative housing with a plurality of terminal-receiving passages disposed in it. Conductive terminals are supported in some, but not all of the passages. The terminal contain distinct terminal sets that include a pair of differential signal terminals and at least two associated ground reference terminals. The two associated ground reference terminals are interconnected together so that electrically, they act as a single ground terminal having a width equal to the sum of the widths of the two connected ground reference terminals. The ground reference terminals of the sets are disposed in a single row of terminals, while the differential signal terminals of the same terminal set are disposed in another row of terminals spaced apart from the row of ground reference terminals. The differential signal terminals are separated from each other within their terminal row by an empty passage so that the two differential signal terminals of each terminal set are spaced farther apart from each other than they are spaced apart from their associated ground reference terminals.
