Relay connectors and FPC substrates for relay connectors

Abstract

[Problem] A repeater connector and an FPC substrate therein are provided, which improves the problems of signal degradation and delay between a first substrate and a second substrate. [Solution] The repeater connector comprises: a housing having a first housing portion and a second housing portion, wherein the first housing portion has a first insertion space for inserting the first substrate, and the second housing portion has a second insertion space for inserting the second substrate; a plurality of signal terminals, each spanning both the first housing portion and the second housing portion and disposed along a first direction; and a plurality of ground terminals, each spanning both the first housing portion and the second housing portion and disposed along the first direction; wherein the connector is configured such that at least a portion of the second housing portion can be inserted into a through hole provided in a third substrate; a through hole connecting the exterior of the second housing portion to a base located between a first ground contact and a second ground contact of the ground terminals is disposed to pass through the second housing portion along a third direction intersecting both the first and second directions.
