1. A printed circuit board comprising:
a dielectric; and
a connector mounted on the dielectric, the connector including a first connector lead, a first contact point, and a first connector wipe, the first connector wipe including a first wider section adjacent to the first contact point, wherein the first wider section creates an impedance mismatch between the first connector lead and the first connector wipe, wherein the first wider section has a lower impedance as compared to the first connector lead, and an amplitude of a reflected signal is reduced by the lower impedance of the first wider section.
