Abstract:
An interconnection system comprising:a first connector and a second connector head to head positioned with each other on a printed circuit board, each of said first and second connectors including:an insulative housing defining a central slot with two rows of pairs of contacts positioned by two sides of the central slot;four rows of conductive pads formed on the printed circuit board corresponding to two rows of the contacts of each of said connectors, respectively; whereinin every four conductive pads, taken along each transverse line, of the respective four rows of conductive pads, the conductive pad of a first row is electrically connected to the conductive pad of the third row via a trace by one side of said four conductive pads, while the conductive pad of the second row is electrically connected to the conductive pad of the fourth row via another trace on the other side of said four conductive pads.
