Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 8:
9. A lead frame comprising: a first connector pin coupled to a first signal trace that serves as part of a signal path in a circuit; a connector pin leg coupled to the first connector pin and to a first pad that comprises a first pad region that is not considered part of the signal path that extends toward a first end of a printed circuit board (PCB), the connector pin leg and
at least a portion of the first pad forming a resonant sub-circuit that is coupled to the signal path, at least one dimension of the portion of the resonant sub-circuit being chosen to more closely match an impedance of the signal path to the impedance of the resonant sub-circuit such as to cause a reduction in insertion loss in the signal path, which comprises the first signal trace, the first pad region extending from the first connector pin toward a second end of the PCB, the second end being opposite to the first end; and a second connector pin coupled to a second signal trace and to a second pad region that extend from the second connector pin toward a second end of the PCB.
