US-12628300-B2 - Differential transmission board set and assembly

Abstract

A differential transmission board set includes a mounting board on which a compression connector is mounted and a contact board configured to come into contact with the compression connector. In the contact board, a second conductor layer is a ground layer and has a penetrating hole. The penetrating hole is formed in such a way that a first signal pad and a second signal pad are both located inside an inner edge of the penetrating hole. In the contact board, the penetrating hole is formed to overlap an outer region of the first ground pad and an outer region of the second ground pad.
