A connector system includes a circuit board having a plurality of holes extending therethrough. First and second connector bodies, each having a front wall, are positioned on first and second sides of the circuit board, respectively. The front walls of the connector bodies have a plurality of signal pin openings aligned with the circuit board holes. A plurality of signal pins extend through the signal pin openings of the first and second connector bodies and through the circuit board holes. At least one of the plurality of circuit board holes has a diameter larger than a diameter of the signal pin extending therethrough, such that walls of the at least one circuit board hole are spaced apart from the signal pin extending therethrough. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION In the following detailed description of the preferred embodiments, reference is made to the accompanying drawings, which form a part hereof, and in which is shown by way of illustration specific embodiments in which the invention may be practiced.
It is to be understood that other embodiments may be utilized and structural or logical changes may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.
The following detailed description, therefore, is not to be taken in a limiting sense, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims.
FIGS.
1 and 2 show one embodiment of a connector system 20 in accordance with the present invention.
The connector system 20 includes a printed circuit board 30, a first header connector 100a on a first side 32 of the printed circuit board 30, and a second header connector 100b on a second side 34 of the printed circuit board 30.
First and second header connectors 100a, 100b are configured for attachment to printed circuit board 30, and are positioned back-to-back on opposite sides 32, 34 of printed circuit board 30.
The first and second header connectors 100a, 100b are each further configured for connection to a mating socket connector (FIG.
3).
The socket connector may be configured for connection to a cable (socket connector 200a) or another printed circuit board (socket connector 200b), for example.
Each header connector 100a, 100b includes a connector body 102 configured to receive a plurality of signal pins 104 and a plurality of shield blades 106 therein.
The connector bodies 102 may also be configured to receive optional ground pins 108.
The signal pins 104 are straight pins, and are retained within connector body 102 by press-fit.
In one embodiment, at least two or more of the shield blades 106 are formed from a continuous strip of material.
In one embodiment, except for their length, the ground pins 108 are substantially identical to the signal pins 104.
In another embodiment, the ground pins 108 are configured to be retained by press-fit in the printed circuit board 30
