Patent ID: 7500871

Claim:
An electrical connector system, comprising: a vertical electrical connector including: a first vertical electrical signal contact defining a first mating end and a first mounting end, wherein the first electrical contact defines a first contact length between the mating end and the mounting end; a second vertical electrical signal contact defining a second mating end and a second mounting end; wherein the second electrical contact defines a second contact length between the second mating end and the second mounting end, and the second length is greater than the first length; and a mounting interface configured for attachment to a substrate, and an opposing mating interface wherein the mounting interface extends in a direction substantially parallel to the mating interface; and a right-angle electrical connector configured for attachment to the mating interface of the vertical electrical connector at the mating end, the right-angle electrical connector including an IMLA, the IMLA having a first right-angle electrical contact and a second right angle electrical contact, wherein the first right-angle electrical contact is longer than the second right-angle electrical contact; wherein the first right-angle electrical contact is configured to connect to the first vertical electrical signal contact, and the second right-angle electrical contact is configured to connect to the second vertical electrical signal contact.
