High-density high-speed input/output connector

摘要

A printed circuit board connector includes an elongate electrical housing defining a plurality of bounded compartments. An insulative support member includes support elements individually resident within the bounded compartments. A pair of elongate electrical contacts are supported by each of the support elements. The contacts include solder tails at one end for termination to the printed circuit board and interconnection portions at the other end for mating electrical connection. The interconnection portions of the contacts are resident within the bounded compartments for establishing electrically shielded isolation therebetween. The conductive housing extends in bounded registry about the contact solder tails for establishing shielding from external electrical interferences.
