<p>A high performance card edge connector (10) includes a housing (16) with an elongated printed circuit card receiving slot (38) in a top wall (18). Terminals (44,46,48) are mounted in transverse cavities (28) intersected by the slot. Alternate cavity portions (28A) receive a pair of signal terminals (44,46) and interspersed alternate cavity portions (28B) receive single ground terminals (48). Each terminal includes a downwardly extending board contact portion (52,64,74) for connection to a printed circuit board and a card contact portion (56,68,80) in the slot for engagement with a contact pad of an inserted card. Each signal terminal pair may be flanked by two ground terminals on the same side of the slot and may be transversely opposite a ground terminal on the opposite side of the slot. A uniform identical cavity configuration permits each cavity portion to receive either a ground terminal or a pair of signal terminals. <IMAGE></p> |
