Abstract
A PGA connector for a microprocessor has a multilayer base board assembly with alternating conductive and dielectric layers of preselected thicknesses through which signal pins, current source pins and a grounding pin extend. The signal pins are insulated from the conductive layers and the current and grounding pin are connected to preselected conductive layers. A series of connecting apertures formed by holes with respective conductive linings extend through the layers at selected locations between pins to interconnect selected conductive layers. The connecting apertures interconnect all conductive layers of the base board or, in another example, alternately positioned connecting apertures interconnect only respective different sets of alternately positioned conductive layers of the base board enabling improved shielding and impedance regulation and matching.
