Abstract
A high-speed transmission circuit comprises a connector pin that serves as part of a signal path, has a first conductivity, and has a connector pin leg that is coupled to a pad that has a second conductivity lower than the first conductivity. The connector pin leg and at least a portion of the pad form a resonant sub-circuit coupled to the signal path. The second conductivity causes a reduction in insertion loss in the signal path by damping a current in the resonant sub-circuit.
