Abstract:
A communication system includes a first circuit card assembly having a first PCB and a first electrical connector with first contacts and a second circuit card assembly having a second PCB and a second electrical connector with second contacts. At least one of the PCBs include a slot configured to receive the other PCB when mated in a board mating direction. The first electrical connector is mated to the second electrical connector in a connector mating direction perpendicular to the board mating direction. The first contacts are mated to the second contacts in a contact mating direction as the first PCB and the second PCB are mated in the board mating direction and as the first electrical connector and the second electrical connector are mated in the connector mating direction. The contact mating direction is non-parallel to the board mating axis and non-parallel to the connector mating axis.

Claim (Index 16):
A circuit card assembly for a communication system comprising:\n a printed circuit board (PCB) having a first surface and a second surface extending along a primary axis and a secondary axis, the PCB having a mating edge between the first and second surfaces generally parallel to the secondary axis, the PCB having a mounting area on the first surface adjacent the mating edge; and an electrical connector mounted to the first surface at the mounting area, the electrical connector having a housing extending between a front and a rear, the front being provided proximate to the mating edge, the electrical connector having a mounting end extending between the front and the rear being mounted to the mounting area, the electrical connector having a mating end extending between the front and the rear generally parallel to the primary axis, the mating end being configured to be mated to a mating electrical connector, the electrical connector having signal contacts held by the housing being terminated to the PCB and ground contacts held by the housing being terminated to the PCB, each signal contact has a mating beam extending along a beam axis, wherein each signal contact is configured to be mated with a mating contact in a contact mating direction non-parallel to the beam axis, each ground contact having a first wall extending along a first side of the corresponding signal contact and a second wall extending along a second side of the corresponding signal contact to provide electrical shielding on at least two different sides of the corresponding signal contact.
