摘要:
An electrical connector comprises a housing having a mating face and a mounting face, and a differential pair (86, 90) of terminals extending between the mating face and the mounting face. The differential pair comprises a positive terminal and a negative terminal having positive and negative mating contacts (20), respectively, at the mating face, and positive and negative mounting contacts (42), respectively, at the mounting face. The positive and negative mating contacts are arranged at the mating face in a first orientation (90b), and the positive and negative mounting contacts are arranged at the mounting face in a second orientation (86b) which is inverted relative to the first orientation.

A press-fit electrical connector comprises a first linear array (88) of electrical terminals extending along a first direction. The first linear array comprises a first differential signal pair (84) and a first ground terminal (86). A second linear array (88) of electrical terminals extends along the first direction and is positioned adjacent to the first linear array. The second linear array comprises a second differential signal pair (84) and a second ground terminal (86). The first differential signal pair is offset from the second differential signal pair. The electrical terminals are configured such that the electrical connector has a pin density of at least about 200 pins per square inch and a differential impedance of between about 85 ohms and about 115 ohms.

An electrical connector (70) for mounting on a substrate comprises a housing (76) and a plurality of signal contacts (10) positioned in the housing. Each of the contacts defines a mating end (16) and a mounting end (14). The mating end and the mounting end each define a width. The mounting end comprises a compliant pin section and defines a width that is less than about 60% of the width of the mating end. The connector has a contact density of at least about 90 contacts per square inch. 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.

摘要:
A multi-layer circuit board (200) is provided that simultaneously optimizes impedance and interference within the multi-layer circuit board and a controlled impedance connector to which it is attached. The multi-layer circuit board includes a plurality of signal pins (104) attached to at least one signal circuit layer (202), and a plurality of ground pins (102) attached to at least one ground circuit layer (202). The signal pins are arranged as differential pairs (106) in a pattern, or matrix, in which the differential pairs are staggered in rows (A,B,C,D,E,F) of the pattern. In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, each differential pair of the multi-layer circuit board is more tightly coupled to a ground contact than to any other signal contact. The multi-layer circuit board also includes a plurality of signal trace segments (110) arranged in pairs. Both signal trace segments of a pair are equal in length and connect to signal contacts via linear routing channels (10).
