  • Electrical connector pad assembly for printed circuit board
    Patent number: 6828513
    Abstract: A connector pad includes projections extending radially outwardly from an inner portion of the pad to help stabilize and reinforce the pad. The added stability allows the radial thickness of an inner portion of the pad to be reduced. This decreases the surface area of the pad and reduces the opportunity for capacitive build up to occur relative to an associated conductive plane in a circuit board.
    Type: Grant
