Patent ID: 7549897

Claim:
An electrical connector comprising: a linear array of electrical terminals comprising a first signal terminal, a second signal terminal, and a first ground terminal; wherein a mounting end of the first signal terminal is configured to be inserted into a first panel member aperture having a first diameter, and a mounting end of the first ground terminal is configured to be inserted into a second panel member aperture having a second diameter, wherein the first diameter is less than the second diameter; and wherein the first signal terminal and the second signal terminal are positioned edge-to-edge and comprise a first differential signal pair, and wherein the connector further comprises a second linear array of electrical terminals comprising a second differential signal pair and a second ground terminal, wherein the second differential signal pair is offset from the first differential signal pair at a mounting interface; and each terminal of the second differential signal pair has a width approximately equal to a width of the first signal terminal of the first differential signal pair.
