Abstract
A board-to-board connector system is provided that may be used with a flex circuit, interposer, or polymer housing that includes a plurality of contacts that are arranged in an array. Each of the plurality of contacts includes a resilient body. A first conductor is provided that includes at least one wire formed in a spiral extending continuously through the resilient body, and having electrically accessible first and second ends. The first conductor is electrically connected to at least one of a plurality of signal conductor traces on a printed wiring board or the like. A second conductor is provided that includes at least one wire formed in a spiral extending continuously through the resilient body, and having electrically accessible first and second ends. The first conductor and the second conductor are in spaced apart relation to one another, and the second conductor is electrically connected to at least one of the plurality of ground path conductors arranged on the printed wiring board.
