Appeal No. 2001-0017
Application No. 09/040,479
The claimed invention relates to a circuit board stacking
connector having a plug portion and a receptacle portion. The
plug portion includes signal pins and impedance control pins that
are adjacent to and similarly sized and shaped to the signal
pins. The receptacle portion includes a signal pin for engaging
the plug signal pin when the plug and the receptacle are in a
mated position. Further included are impedance control shields
located adjacent to the plug signal pin or receptacle signal pin.
Claim 1 is illustrative of the invention and reads as
follows:
1. A connector comprising:
a plug portion comprising
a plug signal pin;
a plug impedance control pin located adjacent to the
signal pin, the plug impedance control pin and the
plug signal pin being similarly sized and shaped;
a receptacle portion comprising
a receptacle signal pin for engaging the plug signal
pin when the plug portion and the receptacle
portion are in a mated position; and
an impedance control shield located adjacent to the
plug signal or the receptacle signal pin.
