Interconnect devices having a biplanar connection

An interconnect device for an electronic device, the interconnect device comprising:

• a printed circuit board comprising:
• a tongue portion supporting a plurality of electrical contacts;
• a pin portion spaced apart from the tongue portion and including a plurality of pin contact locations;
• and
• a plurality of electrical traces extending between the tongue portion and the pin portion, wherein individual electrical traces in of the plurality of electrical traces electrically connect individual electrical contacts in the plurality of electrical contacts to individual contact locations in the plurality of pin contact locations;
• a pin support structure attached to the printed circuit board and disposed adjacent to the pin portion, the pin support structure comprising an electrically nonconductive material having a plurality of pin openings formed therethrough;
• a plurality of elongated pins electrically coupled to the printed circuit board at the plurality of pin contact locations, each of the plurality of elongated pins extending through a pin opening in the plurality of pin openings in the pin support structure;
• and
• a grounding shield attached to the printed circuit board and extending around the pin support structure.
