Claim 0:
1. A connector for electrically connecting to conductive structures formed on an electronic component, comprising:
a core comprising an isolation layer and a plurality of signal vias and a plurality of ground vias formed in the isolation layer;
a first ground plane formed on or in the core and electrically connected to the plurality of ground vias;
a first set of contact elements formed on a first surface of the core and electrically connected to the signal vias to form a first set of signal pins, each signal via and each contact element in the first set being electrically isolated from the first ground plane; and
a second set of contact elements formed on the first surface of the core and electrically connected to a subset of the plurality of ground vias to form a second set of ground pins, remaining ground vias without contact elements connected thereto forming a set of buried ground vias,
wherein the first and second sets of contact elements are arranged on the first surface of the core to surround each signal pin by at least one adjacent ground pin and one or more adjacent buried ground vias.
