Abstract:
1. An electrical connector comprising: a housing; a plurality of ground contacts connected to the housing; and a plurality of signal contacts connected to the housing, where the signal contacts comprise differential signal pairs, where the ground and signal contacts each comprise first ends at a first side of the housing and opposite second ends at a second side of the housing to form a right angle connector, where the first ends comprise a first group of three generally parallel rows including the first ends of the ground contacts in a center row, the first ends of a first one of the signal contacts of each differential signal pair of the group on a first side row at a first side of the center row, and first ends of a second one of the signal contacts of the differential signal pairs of the group on a second side row at a second opposite side of the center row, where at least one of the first ends of the ground contacts is provided between the first ends of two of the differential signal pairs of the group, where the first ends and the housing are configured to be directly mounted to a daughter printed circuit board, and where the second ends and the housing are configured to removably connect to a mating electrical connector on a mother printed circuit board, where the second ends of the plurality of ground contacts and the second ends of the plurality of signal contacts are aligned in a common single row.
