Abstract
A connector for use with high-speed signals. The connector includes conductors held in a housing having a slot for receiving a mating component. Each conductor has a mating end curving into the slot and a mounting end extending out of the housing. The connector has a conductive shell at least partially enclosing the housing. The conductive shell covers one or more sides of the slot and substantially overlaps the mounting ends viewing from a top of the mounting interface to provide shielding to the mating and mounting interfaces. The conductive shell is coupled to ground through ground conductors of the connector. The connector has a lossy member disposed adjacent the mounting interface and coupled to the ground conductors. Such a configuration meets signal integrity requirements in connectors designed for 32 Gbps and beyond, while conforming to a standard that constrains mating and mounting interfaces.
