A connector assembly includes a male connector and a female connector. The female connector includes two printed circuit assembly portions (PCAPs). Each PCAP includes a printed circuit having a ground plane and a plurality of conductors. A plurality of contact beams are attached to the conductors so that the PCAP structure resembles a comb. The two PCAPs are disposed in an insulative portion of the female connector such that the two rows of contact beams face one another. The male connector also includes two PCAPs. The PCAPs in the male connector do not have contact beams but rather have exposed conductors. When the male and female connectors are mated, the contact beams on the female connector make contact with the exposed conductors on the PCAPs in the male connector. The structure of the PCAPs in the assembly are microstrip-like and the characteristic impedance through the mated connectors is substantially uniform.
