Abstract
An electrical connector system includes a carrier assembly and a header. The carrier assembly includes a plurality of shielded connectors and a coaxial cable terminated to each of the shielded connectors. The header includes opposed grounding plates each having ground tabs configured for attachment to a circuit board and a plurality of pins disposed between the opposed plates in a stripline configuration. The coaxial cables of the carrier assembly electrically communicate with the circuit board through a stripline configuration of pins in the header.

11. A connector configured to electrically couple a carrier assembly to a circuit board, the connector comprising:
-
an electrical insulator supporting a row of pins, each pin comprising a contact portion configured for connection with a coaxial cable of the carrier assembly and a termination portion extending from the contact portion and configured to couple to the circuit board; and a first plate disposed on a first side of the electrical insulator and a second plate disposed on a second side of the electrical insulator, each of the first and second plates comprising a leading portion parallel to the contact portion of the pin that combine to form a stripline connector configured to pass signals between the coaxial cables of the carrier assembly and the circuit board, wherein at least one of the first and second plates includes a trailing end portion configured to couple to the circuit board arranged opposite and at an angle to the leading end. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
