Interposer connectors

摘要

High-speed interposer connectors that may be space-efficient, reliable, and may be readily manufactured. One example may provide an interposer connector that may be particularly space-efficient in a vertical direction by using an interposer to form an electrical connection between conductors and a main-logic board or other appropriate substrate. Another example may provide a reliable connection between conductors and a main-logic board by using fasteners to fix an interposer to the main-logic board. Another example may provide connectors that are well-suited to handling high-speed signals by providing a shield to at least partially cover a top of an interposer connector.

主权项

1. A connector comprising:
an interposer having a plurality of openings for accepting a corresponding plurality of fasteners, the interposer further comprising:
a first plurality of contacts on a top side; anda second plurality of contacts on a bottom side, the first plurality of contacts each coupled to at least one of the second plurality of contacts, wherein each of the second plurality of contacts comprises a plurality of spring-like contacts; and a shield attached to the top side of the interposer, the shield having an opening for at least one conductor, wherein the shield is soldered to the top side of the interposer.
