Abstract
A method, and structures are provided for implementing differential signal circuit board electrical contact. A removable member including a pair of independent electrical contacts is removably received within an associated contact-receiving cavity on the circuit board. The contact-receiving cavity includes a mating pair of circuit board pads. A respective dielectric is provided between each of the pair of independent electrical contacts and the mating pair of circuit board pads.
