Abstract
A connector system having a header connector and a receptacle connector. The header connector has an array of pins. The modular receptacle connector comprises a ground receptacle contact that contacts adjacent mating surfaces of a pin, and a signal receptacle contact for engaging another pin. The ground and signal receptacle contacts engage respective pins to produce an unbalanced force. The unbalanced force is offset by another unbalanced force produced by neighboring contacts to provide a balanced connector system.
