ABSTRACT:
An electronic connector assembly in which high performance output contacts arranged in almost any given spacing and sequence are integral with wire contacts to which multiple fine gage closely spaced ground and signal wires of a matched impedance flat cable are connected on wire centers. Changes in the number, gage and spacing of the wires, and in the wiring pattern, spacing and number of the "ground" and "signal" output contacts are easily accommodated. The output contacts and wire contacts are formed from a thin, flat piece of spring metal stock and may be handled during manufacturing as a unitary assembly thereby increasing quality and uniformity and decreasing cost.
