Abstract

A connector comprising: a first insulator substrate; a first contact configured by arranging a plurality of contact pins including contact pins for differential signals as an array, on a top surface of the first insulator substrate; a second insulator substrate; a second contact configured by arranging a plurality of contact pins including contact pins for differential signals as an array in the same direction as the array direction of the first contact, on an undersurface of the second insulator substrate; and a metal plate sandwiched by an undersurface of the first insulator substrate and a top surface of the second insulator substrate; and one or more holes are formed in an area on the metal plate, the area being sandwiched by the contact pins for differential signals of the first and second contacts facing each other.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A connector comprising:
a first insulator substrate;
a first contact configured by arranging a plurality of contact pins including contact pins for differential signals as an array, on a top surface of the first insulator substrate;
a second insulator substrate;
a second contact configured by arranging a plurality of contact pins including contact pins for differential signals as an array in the same direction as the array direction of the first contact, on an undersurface of the second insulator substrate; and
a metal plate sandwiched by an undersurface of the first insulator substrate and a top surface of the second insulator substrate; wherein
the contact pins for differential signals of the first contact and the contact pins for differential signals of the second contact are arrayed in the same order so as to face each other; and
one or more holes in an arbitrary shape and with a size smaller than a circle having a diameter corresponding to one-fourth of the wavelength of the differential signals are formed in an area on the metal plate, the area being sandwiched by the contact pins for differential signals of the first and second contacts facing each other.

2. The connector according to claim 1 , wherein
positions in the first and second contacts that come into contact with contacts of a counterpart connector when the connector is engaged with the counterpart connector are assumed as first contact points and second contact points, respectively; and
the holes are formed in an area other than an area sandwiched by the first contact points and the second contact points.
