Abstract
Electrical connector technology is disclosed. In one example, a connector for coupling an electronics sub-assembly to an electronics assembly comprises a connector body having and a sub-assembly interface configured to electrically couple to an electronics sub-assembly. The connector has a circuit board interface configured to electrically couple to a circuit board of an electronics assembly. The connector has at least two rows of contacts configured to electrically couple the circuit board to the electronics sub-assembly. The at least two rows of contacts are aligned offset relative to each other such that any ground contact of one row avoids intersection of a plane in which any ground contact of the other row resides to at least partially cancel row-to-row crosstalk when the at least two rows of contacts are transmitting signals at a predetermined high-speed bit rate.
