Problems solved by technology

To overcome such problems, the contacts have to be made larger, which causes additional signal attenuation problems
Additionally, such systems employ relatively short contacts, which can limit these systems to relatively thin circuit boards, or limit connections to upper layers of the circuit board

Abstract

An electrical connector assembly (10) includes a circuit board (12) having a through hole (54) extending at least partially therethrough along a through hole axis (106). The circuit board has traces (104) and mounting pads (102) electrically connected to the traces. The mounting pad is exposed in the through hole. An electrical connector (16) is mounted on the circuit board. The electrical connector includes a housing (20) and signal terminals (26) held by the housing. The signal terminal has a mounting contact (30) arranged to be received in each of said through holes. Each via has a stepped diameter along the via axis with a constricted region (94) adjacent the mounting pad, and the mounting contact engages the mounting pad within the constricted region of the via.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an electrical connector assembly comprising an electrical connector mounted on a circuit board. Background technique [0002] In order to meet the demands of digital multimedia, it is generally desired that existing digital communication devices have higher data processing capabilities. Accordingly, electrical connectors used to interconnect circuit boards must handle ever increasing signal speeds at ever increasing signal densities. One application in which such electrical connectors are used is in high speed, differential electrical connectors, such as those commonly encountered in telecommunications or computing applications. In the conventional approach, two circuit boards are interconnected to each other in a backplane and daughterboard configuration. However, at the solder pins of the circuit board to which the electrical connector is connected, it is difficult to increase density while maintaining electrical pe...
