Abstract
High-speed connectors are identically configured each comprising a housing with a first interconnection feature at one location of the housing and a second interconnection feature at another location of the housing with a channel interposed between the first and second interconnection features. The first interconnection feature of the connector is configured to attach with the second interconnection feature of an identical connector and vise versa. The housing channel includes opposed wall sections with shields attached thereto that connect with one another when the connectors are combined. A plurality of electrical terminals is disposed within each housing channel and extend a length from a channel floor to a channel opening. The electrical terminals form an electrical/mechanical contact between interconnecting electrical terminal pairs when the connectors are joined together. In an example, two or more points of electrical/mechanical contact are formed between interconnecting electrical terminal pairs.
