Abstract
Connector paddle cards are provided with an improved wiring connection geometry that reduces impedance mismatch. One illustrative embodiment is a printed circuit board having, on at least one surface: edge connector traces arranged along a first edge for contacting electrical conductors in a socket connector; an outer set of electrodes arranged parallel to a second edge for attaching exposed ends of sheathed wires in a cable (“outer wires”); and an inner set of electrodes arranged parallel to the second edge for attaching exposed ends of sheathed wires in a cable (“inner wires”), with the electrodes in the inner set being staggered relative to the electrodes in the outer set.
