Abstract:
A high speed communication jack including a housing including a port for accepting a plug, the port including a plurality of pins each connected to a corresponding signal line in the plug and a shielding case surrounding the housing. A flexible circuit board between the shielding case and the housing having a substrate, a plurality of vias extending through the substrate with each via being configured to accommodate a pin on the housing, a plurality of traces on a first side of the substrate, with each trace extending from a corresponding one of the plurality of vias, and a shielding plane on a second side of the substrate opposite the first side of the substrate.
Abstract:
A testing unit including a substrate, a plurality of vias located in the substrate, a plurality of pin traces having a height and a width and each extending from a respective via towards an edge of the substrate, a plurality of end traces having a height and a width with each end trace extending from an end of a respective pin trace towards the edge of the substrate, a plurality of branch traces having a height and a width and each extending from a side of a respective pin trace, a plurality of traces extending from the end of a respective end trace, branch trace or pin trace to the edge of the substrate, where each end trace is adjacent to a respective branch trace.
Abstract:
A testing unit including a substrate, a plurality of vias located in the substrate, a plurality of pin traces having a height and a width and each extending from a respective via towards an edge of the substrate and terminating at an end point, a plurality of termination points adjacent to the end points of the pin traces, a plurality of end traces having a height and a width with each end trace extending from an end point of a respective pin trace towards to a corresponding termination point near to the pin trace, a plurality of traces extending from the end of a respective end point or termination point to the edge of the substrate, where the end points of each pin trace are adjacent to each other.
