Patent ID: 6846189

Claim:
A connector mounted on a board having a plurality of board signal lines and a board ground line, comprising: a plurality of signal terminals corresponding to said board signal lines, each of said signal terminals comprising: a signal core line that is generally linear in shape and formed from a conductor; a core line shield formed from a conductor that is electrically insulated from said signal core line and axially encloses said signal core line; a signal electrode extending from said signal core line for connecting said signal core line with said signal terminal; a plurality of ground electrodes extending from said core line shield, facing each other and separated by said signal electrode, each ground electrode connecting said core line shield with said board ground line; and a housing holding a part of each of said plurality of signal terminals in first and second parallel rows, wherein, the connector is mounted to a side of the board on which a front face of the board is parallel to an axis of said signal core line, said signal electrode in the first row faces said signal electrode in the second row, separated by said board, said signal electrode of said first row is connected with said board signal line on the front face of said board, and said signal electrode in the second row is connected with said board signal line on a rear face of said board.
