Patent ID: 7341459

Claim:
A connector system comprising: a single pin plug, the plug comprising a first plug conductor and a second plug conductor, and a plug insulator electrically isolating the first plug conductor and the second plug conductor; wherein the plug conductors and the plug insulator are separate components of a single pin plug, the first plug conductor and the second plug conductor providing independent conductive surfaces of the plug, each plug conductor individually connected to a different tail extending internal the plug and arranged to carry a different electrical signal through the plug; and further comprising a conductive outer shell electrically isolated from the plug conductors and passing externally the plug to at least one ground connection point, wherein the insulator is configured to separate the first plug conductor, the second plug conductor, and the conductive shell a predetermined distance from one another to achieve a desired overall impedance for the single pin plug and wherein the first and second conductors are at a same axial region of the single pin plug and wherein conductive surfaces of the first and second conductors are longitudinally separated by an insulator with respect to a longitudinal axis of the single pin plug; and a socket comprising multiple socket conductors configured to receive the single pin plug.
