  • Connector and connector system having edge-coupled terminals
    Patent number: 10374365
    Abstract: A connector system is disclosed that can include a first and second connector. The first connector supports a channel terminal that is U-shaped and includes a mating edge. The second connector includes one or more wafers that support signal terminals arranged in an edge-coupled manner. Ground terminals in the one or more wafers are positioned on two sides of a pair of signal terminals and are configured to engage the mating edge of the channel terminal. Each wafer can include a shield mounted on a side of the wafer. The shield can include arms that electrically engage ground terminals.

  • Connector and system with short signal pins
    Patent number: 10199774
    Abstract: A connector system includes a connector mounted on a circuit board. The circuit board has deeper backdrilled vias and the connector has modified signal terminal that can mate with the backdrilled vias so as to provide a surprising increase in the performance of signal traces provided in the top layers of the circuit board.
