Abstract
An impedance matching structure for a high-speed connector includes a pair of ground leads, a differential pair of signal leads, a ground plane, a first region in which the ground leads and the differential pair of signal leads are coplanar within a first plane, and a second region in which the differential pair of signal leads lies on the first plane and the ground plane lies on a second plane extending along the first plane. The impedance matching structure has a transition region between the first region and the second region. The ground leads are connected to the ground plane in the transition region. An impedance matching projection is arranged in the transition region and projects from a side of the differential pair of signal leads.
