Abstract:
In an electrical connector, one or more contacts may be inserted into a base housing. The contacts A may be stamped from a sheet of electrically conductive material. A housing cover may be assembled onto the base housing. The base housing and housing cover may be molded from an electrically insulating material. A structure may be provided for retaining the contacts in the housing. Angled surfaces on the cover come into contact with lead-in surfaces on beams of the contacts. Downward motion of the cover towards the base cams the contact beams outward to a specified distance, thus creating a preload situation of the contact beams against the surfaces. The contacts may be bifurcated or single beam contacts.
Abstract:
An electrical connector according to the invention may include a first signal contact that defines a first side and a first edge, wherein the first side is greater in length than the first edge, the first edge having a first edge width, and a second signal contact that defines a second side and a second edge, wherein the second side is greater in length that the second edge, the second edge having a second edge width. The first signal contact and the second signal contact may be positioned edge-to-edge. A gap may be defined between the first edge of the first signal contact and the second edge of the second signal contact. The gap may have a gap width that is approximately equal to at least one of the first edge width and the second edge width. The connector may have a column pitch, and the gap width may be based on the column pitch. The gap width may be approximately 0.3-0.4 millimeters.
Abstract:
A connector where portion of a housing is projected as a projection portion (20) that is received in a recess portion for electrical connection and mechanical fixing. The housing has a fixing portion (10) fixed to a substrate and the projection portion (20) that is movable. The projection portion (20) is supported by the fixing portion (10) of the housing with a contact portion (30) in between. The projection portion (20) has a stopper (40) that comes in contact with the contact portion (30) when the connector is inserted and stops the projection portion (20). The contact portion (30) has a stopper (50) that comes in contact with the housing when the connector is removed and stops the projection portion (20).
Abstract:
An igniter shorting contact for an igniter connector including a base,at least one deflectable contact arm, and a contact leg. The base is adapted to be mounted to an insulating housing member of a housing of the igniter connector. The deflectable contact arm(s) extend from the base and are adapted to contact electrical terminals of the igniter connector. The contact leg extends from the base. The contact leg is adapted to extend radially outward relative to the insulating housing and contact an outer electrically conductive housing member of the igniter connector.
Abstract:
A preferred embodiment of a cable harness assembly includes a shielded cable comprising a first and a second conductor for conducting a pair of differential signals, and a generally planar board having a first and a second electrically-conductive trace formed thereon and having a first and a second major surface. The first trace is electrically coupled to the first conductor at a first location on the first major surface and extends along the first major surface to a second location on the first major surface. The second trace is electrically coupled to the second conductor at a third location on the first major surface and extends along the first and the second major surfaces to a fourth location on the second major surface.
Abstract:
An electrical plug connector is specified, which has a U-shaped locking clip (30), two mutually parallel running limbs (32, 33) and a base (15) running essentially at right angles to them, a connector housing (1) having two pins (21, 22) which are integrally formed on a pivoting shaft (20) on the opposite side surfaces (18, 19) of the connector housing, pointing outwards, and on which the free ends (36, 37) of the limbs (32, 33) are hinged, and comprises a mating connector housing (2) having an apron (4), in which the clip (30) and the mating connector housing (2) have complementary engagement elements (39, 12) for inserting the connector housing (1) into the mating connector housing (2). At least one of the two limbs (32, 33) has a lever arm (50) which can pivot elastically about a rotation shaft (60) and has a projection (74), which rests on the side surface (18 or 19) at the level of the pivoting shaft (60), in which the rotation shaft (60) essentially coincides with the longitudinal axis of the limb (32, 33), and the mechanical connection between the head end (51) of the lever arm (50) and a latching element (25, 26) fitted on the corresponding side surface (18, 19) of the connector housing (1) can be released, in that the apron (4) extends onto the foot end (53) of the lever arm (50) when the connector housing (1) is inserted into the mating connector housing (2).
