Circuit member with enhanced performance

摘要

An electrical connector includes a dielectric housing with a plurality of filtering modules therein. Each filtering module has a housing and a magnetics assembly including transformer cores with wires wrapped therearound. An array of pins extend from the module housing for connection to the wires. A plurality of tails extend from the module housing for interconnection to a circuit board upon which the connector may be mounted. An interconnection is provided between the pins and tails that may include filtering or other signal modifying circuitry. A circuit member having an enhanced layout is also provided for use in or upon which the connector may be mounted.

1. A multi-layer circuit member comprising:
a conductive reference plane; a linear array of reference through holes interconnected to the reference plane; and first and second arrays of through holes positioned on opposite sides of the linear array, each of the first and second arrays of through holes including first and second rows of through holes, the first and second rows being offset in a direction so that each of the rows is generally parallel to the linear array of reference through holes, wherein the through holes of each of the first and second arrays are arranged in a series of first, second, third and fourth triangular arrays of through holes, the triangular arrays being arranged in an alternating manner with the second and fourth triangular arrays being inverted relative to the first and third triangular arrays.
