Abstract
In some aspects, the techniques described herein relate to an apparatus including: a printed circuit board connector structure, comprising: an outer ground defining a receiving area; and a pair of traces located in the receiving area, the pair of traces collectively having a first side, a second side, a third side, and a fourth side, wherein the outer ground extends around each of the first side, the second side, and the third side of the pair of traces.

A printed circuit board connector structure, comprising:
- an outer ground defining a receiving area;
- and
- a pair of traces located in the receiving area, the pair of traces collectively having a first side, a second side, a third side, and a fourth side, wherein the outer ground extends around each of the first side, the second side, and the third side of the pair of traces.
A printed circuit board connector structure, comprising:
- an outer ground defining a receiving area;
- a first trace located in the receiving area, the first trace having a first side and a second side opposite to the first side;
- and
- a second trace spaced apart from the first trace, the second trace located in the receiving area, the second trace having a third side and a fourth side opposite to the third side, the fourth side of the second trace being proximate to the second side of the first trace, wherein the outer ground extends around the first side of the first trace and around the third side of the second trace.
A printed circuit board, comprising:
- a first connector structure including:
- a first outer ground defining a first receiving area;
- and
- a first pair of vertical traces located in the first receiving area, the first pair of vertical traces collectively having a first side, a second side, a third side, and a fourth side, wherein the first outer ground extends around each of the first side, the second side, and the third side of the first pair of vertical traces;
- and
- a second connector structure including:
- a second outer ground defining a second receiving area;
- and
- a second pair of vertical traces located in the second receiving area, the second pair of vertical traces collectively having a fifth side, a sixth side, a seventh side, and an eighth side, wherein the second outer ground extends around each of the fifth side, the sixth side, and the seventh side of the second pair of vertical traces, wherein the first outer ground and the second outer ground reduce any signals leaving the first receiving area and the second receiving area, respectively.
