Abstract:
A connector for establishing a signal channel, comprising:at least a first conductive plate in a first connector half; first insulation layers superposed over front and back surfaces of the first conductive plate, respectively; first printed signal lines extending on exposed surfaces of the first insulation layers; at least a pair of second conductive plates in a second connector half, to be alternated with the first conductive plate when the second connector half is coupled with the first connector half; second insulation layers superposed over the second conductive plates, respectively, on surfaces opposed to the front and back surfaces of the first conductive plate; second printed signal lines extending on exposed surfaces of the second insulation layers, the second printed signal lines being correspondingly connected to the first printed signal lines between the first and second insulation layers when the first and second connector halves are coupled with each other; and conductive printed ground lines disposed between adjacent ones of the first printed signal lines and between adjacent ones of the second printed signal lines such that the first and second signal lines are shielded from noise caused by signals passing through adjacent first and second signal lines.
