20100144167Electrical Connector System - High-speed backplane connectors systems for mounting a substrate that are capable of operating at speeds of up to at least 25 Gbps, while in some implementations also providing pin densities of at least 50 pairs of electrical connectors per inch are disclosed. Implementations of the high-speed connector systems may provide ground shields and/or ground structures that substantially encapsulate electrical connector pairs, which may be differential electrical connector pairs, in a three-dimensional manner throughout a backplane footprint, a backplane connector, and a daughtercard footprint. These encapsulating ground shields and/or ground structures prevent undesirable propagation of non-traverse, longitudinal, and higher-order modes when the high-speed backplane connector systems operates at frequencies up to at least 30 GHz.06-10-2010

20110081809PRINTED CIRCUIT HAVING GROUND VIAS BETWEEN SIGNAL VIAS - A printed circuit includes a substrate having a pair of opposite sides. A signal via extends through at least one of the sides and at least partially through the substrate between the sides. Aggressor vias extend through at least one of the sides and at least partially through the substrate between the sides. The aggressor vias are arranged in a pattern around the signal via. Linear paths are defined between the signal via and the aggressor vias. At least some of the aggressor vias are arranged along the substrate directly adjacent the signal contact. Ground vias extend through at least one of the sides and at least partially through the substrate between the sides. The ground vias are arranged around the signal via. At least one ground via is positioned along each linear path between the signal via and each of the aggressor vias that is directly adjacent the signal via.04-07-2011

20090173524DUAL DENSITY PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD ISOLATION PLANES AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURE THEREOF - A conductive power isolation plane for reducing interlayer cross-talk in a printed circuit board between conductive through vias on one side of the printed circuit board and conductive through vias on the other side of the printed circuit board and a method of manufacturing the same. In one embodiment, a printed circuit board includes a (1) conductive power isolation plane interlaminated within a plurality of insulating dielectric layers, (2) a first dielectric layer having a conductive through via laminated to a surface of the plurality of insulating dielectric layers, (3) a second dielectric layer having a conductive through via laminated to a surface of the plurality of insulating dielectric layers opposite the first dielectric layer and (4) a conductive ground via extending through the first dielectric layer, the plurality of insulating layers, including the conductive power isolation plane, and the second dielectric layer.07-09-2009
20090221192ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR HAVING IMPROVED TERMINAL CONFIGURATION - An electrical terminal of the type to be inserted into an aperture of an electrical panel member is provided. The electrical terminal may include a base, an insertion portion extending from the base to a first end, a slit formed through the insertion portion and defining a compliant portion having a first leg and a second leg. A segment of the first leg may be deformed in one direction, while a segment of the second leg may deformed in the opposite direction. Midpoints of each or both legs may be offset from the midpoint of the slit to achieve improved mechanical and electrical performance within a connector. Also provided is an electrical terminal having a tip that facilitates alignment with a panel member aperture and provides tactile feedback to a user, as well as an electrical terminal having a mounting end that is substantially smaller than its mating end, and connectors containing such terminals. Methods of routing electrical traces between adjacent electrical terminals are also provided.09-03-2009
