Abstract

An electrical connector assembly (10) includes a circuit board (12) having signal vias (54) extending at least partially through the circuit board, with the signal vias being arranged in pairs. The signal vias within the pair are open to each other through the circuit board and the circuit board has mounting pads (102) exposed within the signal vias. An electrical connector (16) is mounted on the circuit board. The electrical connector includes signal terminals (26) extending into respective signal vias of the circuit board that are terminated to corresponding mounting pads. The signal terminals are arranged in pairs carrying differential pair signals. The signal terminals within the pair are arranged along a paddle (58) supporting the signal terminals. The paddle is received in both signal vias of the corresponding pair of signal vias.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an electrical connector mounted to a circuit board. Background technique [0002] In order to meet digital multimedia requirements, today's digital communication equipment usually requires higher data throughput. Consequently, electrical connectors that interconnect circuit boards must handle ever-increasing signal speeds at ever-increasing signal densities. One application environment in which such electrical connectors are used is in high speed, differential electrical connectors, such as those commonly used in telecommunications or computing environments. In a conventional approach, two circuit boards are interconnected to each other in a backplane and daughterboard configuration. However, at the footprint of the circuit board where the electrical connectors interface, it is difficult to increase density while maintaining electrical performance and / or reasonable manufacturing costs. For example, the vias in a circ...
