Abstract (en)

An electrical connection system configured to terminate electrical conductors (102, 104) and to transmit digital electrical signals having a data transfer rate of 5 Gigabits per second (Gb/s) or higher. The system includes a first parallel mirrored pair of terminals (160, 162) having a planar connection portion (164, 166) and a second pair of parallel mirrored terminals (132, 134) having a cantilever beam portion (136, 140) and a contact points (138, 142) configured to contact the first terminals (160, 162). The cantilever beam portions (136, 140) are generally perpendicular to the planar connection portions (164, 166). The terminals (132, 134, 160, 162) cooperate to provide consistent characteristic impedance. The connection system further includes an electromagnetic shield (172, 174) that longitudinally surrounds the terminals (132, 134, 160, 162). The connection system is suited for terminating wire cables (100) transmitting digital signals using data transfer protocols such as Universal Serial Bus (USB) 3.0 and High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) 1.4.
