Estimating the term…
A connector configured for BGA attachment of terminals to pads on a PCB and coupling of planar conductive elements at the mounting interface without the use of solder balls in addition to those coupling the terminals to the PCB. Projections from the conductive elements may be fused to the same solder balls connecting one or more terminals to the PCB or may be coupled to ground structures on the PCB using a different attachment technique. The projections, for example, may be J-leads that are attached to pads on the PCB using surface mount soldering or may be pins that are attached within holes of the PCB using pin in paste mounting techniques. The PCB may have columns of signal pads configured for electrical connection to signal terminals of the connector using BGA termination techniques with holes between adjacent columns to receive pins of a shield of the connector.
