US Patent 10050361 Flexible circuit connector

A flexible circuit connector includes a dielectric holder extending between a base mounted to a circuit board and a mating end mated with an electrical connector assembly. The dielectric holder has a first side and a second side with a first flexible circuit coupled to the first side and a second flexible circuit coupled to the second side. The flexible circuits each have a base edge extending to the base of the dielectric holder and a mating edge extending to the mating end of the dielectric holder. The flexible circuits each have signal conductors routed between the mating edge and the base edge and ground conductors providing electrical shielding for the signal conductors.
