Abstract

Connector inserts and other structures that have a high signal integrity and low insertion loss, are reliable, and are readily manufactured. One example may provide a connector insert formed primarily using a printed circuit board. Contacts on the connector insert may be akin to contacts on a printed circuit board and they may connect to traces having matched impedances on the printed circuit board in order to improve signal integrity and reduce insertion loss. The printed circuit board may be manufactured in a manner for increased reliability. Plating, solder block, and other manufacturing steps that are native to printed circuit board manufacturing may be employed to improve manufacturability. Specialized tools that may provide a chamfered edge on the connector inserts may be employed.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims priority to U.S. Patent Application No. 14 / 466,899, filed August 22, 2014, and to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61 / 869,585, filed August 23, 2013 and U.S. The benefit of Provisional Patent Application No. 61 / 905,275, which is incorporated by reference. Background technique [0003] The amount of data transferred between electronic devices has grown tremendously over the past few years. Large volumes of audio, video streams, text and other types of data content are now routinely transferred between desktop and portable computers, media devices, handheld media devices, displays, storage devices and other types of electronic devices. [0004] These media transfers can occur through a variety of media. For example, data transmissions can occur wirelessly, through wired conductors, through fiber optic cables, or they can occur in other ways. Power can be transmitted together with data, or ...
