ABSTRACT:
A connector assembly includes a signal array with conductors including inner and outer conductive elements. Ferrule elements are coupled with ends of respective conductors and include inner contacts and outer bodies electrically coupled with the inner and outer conductive elements of the conductors. A body has a front surface and a contact face surface that is raised above the front surface and ends of the conductors terminate in the body so the inner contacts are presented at the body contact face surface, in a generally co-planar arrangement. A compressible interface element has a plurality of conductive elements embedded in a compressible, electrically insulative medium and is positionable to engage the contact face surface to be compressed between the contact face surface and a signal bearing component to pass signals while maintaining the geometric arrangement of the inner and outer conductive elements of the conductors.
