Abstract: An electrical connector includes a unitary base elongated along a longitudinal direction. A first tongue extends forwardly from the base and has a uniform thickness along the longitudinal direction. The first tongue comprises a plurality of spaced apart first contacts. A second tongue extends forwardly from the base and comprises a plurality of spaced apart second contacts. The first and second tongues define a gap therebetween that extends from a front edge of one of the first and second tongues toward the unitary base.

Abstract: Electrical connectors are described. More particularly, electrical connectors including a plurality of contacts are described. Both connector plugs and sockets are described. Electrical connectors that are suitable for mounting on a printed circuit board and electrical connectors that include a printed circuit board are described.

Abstract: A substrate comprises a first plurality of conductive pads disposed on a first side of the substrate and a different second plurality of conductive pads disposed on the first side of the substrate. Each conductive pad in the first plurality of conductive pads is configured to make electrical contact with a corresponding contact of a MicroSAS plug connector when the MicroSAS plug connector is mounted onto the substrate. Each conductive pad in the second plurality of conductive pads is configured to make electrical contact with a corresponding contact of a MicroSATA plug connector when the MicroSATA plug connector is mounted onto the substrate. At least one conductive pad belongs to both the first and second pluralities of conductive pads.
