    Abstract: A printed circuit board includes a substrate having a plurality of stacked circuit board layers. The substrate has a top surface and a bottom surface. The printed circuit board includes a signal contact on the substrate. The signal contact has a signal via and a signal trace extending from the signal via. The signal via extends between the top surface and the bottom surface along a via axis. The printed circuit board includes an anti-pad around the signal via extending through the substrate along the via axis. The anti-pad extends between the top surface and the bottom surface. The anti-pad has a first width at the top surface and the lower anti-pad has a second width at the bottom surface different than the first width.

    Abstract: Angled electrical header connectors comprise a housing with a first electrical terminal port and a second electrical terminal port oriented apart from one another. A first electrical terminal is disposed within the first electrical terminal port, and a first electrical insulator is interposed between the first electrical terminal port and the first electrical terminal. A second electrical terminal is disposed within the second electrical terminal port, and a second electrical insulator is interposed between the second electrical terminal port and the second electrical terminal. A passage exists between the first electrical terminal port and the second electrical terminal port, and one of the first electrical terminal or the second electrical terminal extends into the electrical terminal port of the other of the first electrical terminal or the second electrical terminal to make an electrical-mechanical connection therebetween in situ within the housing.

    Abstract: An electrical terminal with a contact portion and a spring arm and a method of insertion. The contact portion has a mating terminal receiving cavity. The spring arm extends from a bottom wall into the mating terminal receiving cavity. The spring arm has a fixed end, a free end and a transition section extending between the fixed end and the free end. The bottom wall has an opening with a front wall and a rear wall. The spring arm extends from the front wall toward the rear wall. A coined area is provided proximate the rear wall of the opening on the bottom wall. The spring arm acts initially as a single supported cantilever beam and then, upon deflection, acts as a double supported beam.

    Abstract: A communication system includes a host circuit board and an interposer assembly coupled to the host circuit board having an interposer substrate including an host circuit board contacts at a lower surface and module contacts at an upper surface. The communication system includes an optical pluggable module having a mating interface along a bottom of the optical pluggable module facing the interposer assembly. The optical pluggable module includes a module substrate and optical engines coupled to the module substrate with optical fiber cables extending from the optical engines to the cable end. The module substrate has module substrate contacts at a lower surface of the module substrate being electrically connected to corresponding module contacts of the interposer assembly at the upper surface of the interposer substrate.

    Abstract: A plug connector includes a housing having a front and a rear, a first end and a second end opposite the first end, and a first side and a second side opposite the first side. The housing has a mating end at the front for mating with a mating connector. The housing has a latch pocket at the first end. The plug connector includes plug contacts held by the housing provided proximate to the mating end for mating with the mating connector. The plug connector includes a latch received in the latch pocket having a main body and a latch beam extending from the main body. The latch beam includes a dual tip latch including a first tip latch and a second tip latch both configured to be received in a same latch opening of the mating connector.
