Abstract:
1. An electrical signal connection comprising: a first connector board having a first major plane and a second connector board having a second major plane, the first and second connector boards positioned so that the first major plane is substantially orthogonal to the second major plane; a first electrical signal connector pair disposed on the first connector board, the first electrical signal connector pair having a first signal contact and a second signal contact, the first and second signal contacts offset from one another with respect to the first and second major planes; a second electrical signal connector pair disposed on the second connector board, the second electrical signal connector pair having a first signal contact and a second signal contact, the first and second signal contacts of the second electrical signal connector pair offset from one another with respect to the first and second major planes, the first and second signal contacts of the first electrical signal connector pair aligned respectively with the first and second signal contacts of the second electrical signal connector pair; a first ground connector pair disposed on the first connector board, the first ground connector pair having a first ground contact and a second ground contact, the first and second ground contacts offset from one another with respect to the first and second major planes; and a second ground connector pair disposed on the second connector board, the second ground connector pair having a first ground contact and a second ground contact, the first and second ground contacts of the second ground connector pair offset from one another with respect to the first and second major planes, the first and second ground contacts of the first ground connector pair aligned respectively with the first and second ground contacts of the second ground connector pair.
