Abstract
An electrical connector having a plurality of electrical conductors with one portion thereof disposed in a housing and an end of such connector projecting outward from the housing and terminating in a pad disposed perpendicular to the housing disposed portion. The connector is provided adapted for mounting to an ball grid array disposed on a printed circuit board. The pad is coupled to the conductor through a curved interconnect. The interconnect is configured as an inductor to provide a series resonant circuit element for the capacitor effect provided by the pad. The connector has a housing adapted to having therein a plurality of wafer-like modules. Each one of the modules has a dielectric support and an array of signal electrical conductors electrically insulated by portions of the supports. A ground plane electrical conductor is provided. The ground plane conductor is disposed under, and is separated from, portions of the signal electrical conductor by the dielectric member. The signal conductor, ground plane conductor and portion of the dielectric support member are configured as a microstrip transmission line having a predetermined impedance.
