ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR HAVING VARIABLE LENGTH MOUNTING CONTACTS

摘要

An electrical connector (16; 18) is configured for mounting on a circuit board (12, 14) having first and second vias (54a, 54b; 82a, 82b). The electrical connector comprises a housing (40; 60) having a mounting face (46; 68) for mounting along the circuit board, and first and second signal terminals (26; 70) held by the housing. The first and second signal terminals comprise respective first and second mounting contacts (30a, 30b; 74a, 74b) extending outward from the mounting face of the housing. The first and second mounting contacts are configured to be received within the first and second vias, respectively, of the circuit board. The first and second mounting contacts extend respective different first and second lengths (L1, L2; L4, L5) from the mounting face of the housing.
