- and
- low-speed cables connected to the second low-speed contacts.
4 more elements
A connector system comprising:
- a base substrate;
- a first connector connected to a first surface of the base substrate and including:
- a first housing including first contacts directly connected to the base substrate in a first area;
- and
- a first cage surrounding the first housing;
- and
- a second connector connected to a second surface of the base substrate opposite to the first surface and including:
- a second housing including:
- second contacts directly connected to the base substrate in a second area;
- and
- additional second contacts that each include a portion that extends upward from an outermost surface of the second housing that is on an opposite side of the second housing as the base substrate;
- and
- a second cage surrounding the second housing;
- wherein
- when viewed in a plan view with respect to the base substrate, the first and second areas do not overlap.
