Publication number: 20230402775Abstract: According to an embodiment, high-frequency signal transmission device includes a connector and a wiring board with two cable ends. The connector includes contact terminals with signal contact terminals and ground contact terminals. In a wiring board, signal contact pads, ground contact pads and one or more ground layers are formed on at least one of the cable ends. The ground contact terminal includes an arm portion bent so as to locally abut against the ground contact pad at a contact portion. The contact portion of the arm portion is positioned so as to (i) at least partially abut against a surface of a covering portion of the ground contact pad covering the first penetrating electrode directly above the first penetrating electrode, or (ii) abut against the ground contact pad near an outer periphery of the covering portion, when the wiring board is electrically connected to the connector.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 13, 2023Publication date: December 14, 2023Inventors: Takahiro SHIMOYAMA, Akira YONEZAWA, Hiroshi TAKAHIRA
