Claim Text:
1. A dual in-line memory module (DIMM) connector system, comprising: a motherboard comprising a printed circuit board (PCB) formed of mid-loss dielectric constant material FR4061, signal pads that are thinner than ground pads with the ground pads being disposed adjacent to the signal pads, signal vias connected to distal edges of the signal pads and shared antipads; a DIMM card comprising a printed circuit board (PCB) formed of mid-loss dielectric constant material FR4061, signal pads that are thinner than ground pads, signal vias connected to distal edges of the signal pads and shared antipads for respective pairs of the signal vias; and a connector by which the DIMM card is coupled with the motherboard, wherein widths of the signal pads are about 25% of the widths of the ground pads, the shared antipads are rectangular and distal ends of the signal pads comprise flat edges and a single convex curved edge interposed between and terminating at the flat edges, and wherein the DIMM connector system further comprises surface mounts (SMTs) extending from the signal vias with each having a respective single angular portion.
