Patent ID: 6838955

Claim:
A structure for obtaining reduced reflections at a common connection from any of N signal lines, where N equals four or more, said signal lines having similar characteristic impedances, said signal lines connected at said common connection, when an electrical signal having sub-nanosecond transition times, is introduced from one of said lines being connected to a source of electrical signals feeding N−1 of said lines connected into first electrical connectors each receiving therein a mating second electrical connector, COMPRISING: a. first electrical connectors having: 1. a longitudinal body having: A. a toe portion extending outwardly therefrom; B. a head end including a head member extending transversely to said head end and said toe portion: i. said head member having thereon a resilient arced member cantilevered therefrom: a). said arced member having a convex surface and a concave surface; and b. connected to an electrical conductor; c. a foot member extending transversely to both said longitudinal body and said toe portion; b. said toe portions of two of said arced members being abutted together with said convex surfaces thereof facing and extending toward one another to grippingly receive a second mating electrical connector therebetween.
