Abstract
A right angle board-to-board connector is provided with generally balanced impedance. The right angle board-to-board connector includes a plurality of connector pins. Each of the connector pins has a generally right angle configuration. The connector pins are spaced apart by a substantially uniform spacing along respective connector mating pin faces. Selected connector pins have substantially equal length. For example, each of the connector pins has substantially equal length or selected pairs of the connector pins has substantially equal length. The connector pins of a preferred embodiment are laterally offset to provide a predefined separation between the connector pins at pin crossover locations.
