Abstract
Stacked receptacles in a connector that each provide side-by-side differential signal contacts, are attached to a circuit board without additional width to accommodate multiple layers of differential signals by using connector wafer inserts that rotate the side-by-side positioned differential signal contacts to front-to-back contacts, the circuit board including a substrate having a plurality of openings to make electrical contact with conductive terminal tail portion inserted therein, the openings being divided into first and second groups of openings, the first group of openings receiving differential signal terminal tails therein and the second group of openings receiving ground terminal tail therein, when a connector is mounted to said circuit board.
