Abstract
A connector assembly includes a signal array of a plurality of conductors, each conductor including at least one inner conductive element and an outer conductive element. A connector body has a front surface and the inner and outer conductive elements are electrically presented proximate the front surface in a generally co-planar arrangement. The inner and outer conductive elements terminate in a face surface that is raised above the front surface of the connector body. A compressible interface element has a plurality of conductive elements embedded in a compressible, electrically insulative medium. The interface element is positionable against the face to be compressed between the signal array and a signal bearing component to pass signals between the signal array and the signal-bearing component.
