Compact high-speed electrical connector

Abstract

A compact card edge connector for providing high-speed interconnections between different components. The card edge connector includes a mating interface configured to receive a card, a second interface configured to mount to a printed circuit board, and a fourth interface configured to mate with a cable component. The mating interface is perpendicular to the second interface and parallel to the fourth interface. For each column of mating ends at the mating interface, the connector includes two rows mounting ends at the second interface and one column of mounting ends at the fourth interface.
