Patent ID: 7686618

Claim:
A connector device comprising: a first connector comprising a plurality of first contact modules each having a plurality of first transmission path patterns having first ends which form a plurality of first contacts which are exposed at a first connecting surface and are disposed in a matrix arrangement; and a second connector comprising a plurality of second contact modules each having a plurality of second transmission path patterns having second ends which form a plurality of second contacts which are exposed at a second connecting surface to be connected to the first connecting surface, wherein each of the plurality of second contacts couples to a corresponding one of the first contacts of the first connector, the second contacts of each of the plurality of second contact modules are aligned in a first direction, and corresponding second contacts of the plurality of second contact modules are aligned in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, so that the second contacts are disposed in a matrix arrangement, lengths of adjacent second transmission path patterns are identical within each of the plurality of second contact modules but different among the plurality of second contact modules, and the first contact modules in a vicinity of the first connecting surface are arranged parallel to each other and the second contact modules in a vicinity of the second connecting surface are arranged parallel to each other so that the first contact modules in the vicinity of the first connecting surface are parallel to the second contact modules in the vicinity of the second connecting surface.
