Abstract
In accordance with one embodiment, an electrical connector has heat dissipation holes, and is configured to be mounted to a substrate having electrical traces that are partially offset from each other, and partially aligned with each other. The holes pass through a shroud of the electrical connector such that, when the electrical connector is mated with a second electrical connector, air flows outside a perimeter of the second electrical connector, and may cool the mated connectors as well as dissipate heat from the substrate.
