Patent ID: 7160151

Claim:
An electrical connector system comprising: a right angled male connector having an electrically conducting housing having a first face and a second face with said first face being oriented at ninety degrees relative to said second face, a plurality of first electrically positive terminals mounted within said housing in a spaced apart arrangement, each of said first electrically positive terminals terminating in a first end and a second end, said first electrically positive terminals being evenly spaced apart, said first end of each of said first electrically positive terminals protruding only slightly from said first face establishing a surface mount solderable connection with each said first end protruding the same distance from said first face, said second end of said first electrically positive terminals extending outward a substantial distance from said second face; and a plurality of electrical ground points located on said first face directly adjacent but spaced from each said first electrically positive terminal with there being a series of said ground points surrounding each said electrically positive terminal, said points being commonly electrically grounded by an electrically conductive layer covering said housing, each said ground point protruding the same distance from said first face, said first end of said electrically positive terminals extending the same distance from said first face as said electrical ground points; a shielded cone structure having a tapered wall surface surrounding but spaced from each said second end of said first electrically positive terminals, each said cone structure protruding from said second face, each said cone structure including said electrically conductive layer, whereby when said second ends are electrically connected to a separate connector said tapered wall surface of each said cone structure produces a tight enclosing fit with a hole formed in the separate connector producing a ground shield for each said first electrically positive terminal, each said first electrically positive terminal being electrically insulated relative to said housing by a combination of air and dielectric insulator.
