摘要:
A high-speed electrical connector is disclosed. The high-speed electrical connector connects a first electrical device having a first ground reference to a second electrical device having a second ground reference. The connector, which includes a connector housing and a signal contact, is devoid of any ground connection that is adapted to electrically connect the first ground reference and the second ground reference.

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.
摘要:
In an electrical connector, cross talk between signal contacts in adjacent linear columns and rows may be reduced by changing the size of the lead portions of the contacts extending within a leadframe housing. For example, the height of the ground contact lead portions may be increased to further isolate signal contacts in adjacent columns from interfering electrical fields. The height of the signal contact lead portions may be decreased in order to accommodate the larger ground contact lead portions without increasing the overall size of the connector. Smaller signal contact lead portions may reduce the overall length differential between signal contacts in a differential pair, thereby minimizing signal skew.

A contact assembly (80) for use in an electrical connector. The contact assembly (80) includes an insulative contact block (81) defining a plurality of apertures (82) therethrough. The contacts assembly (80) also includes a plurality of dual beam contact terminals (80A). Each plurality of dual beam contact terminals (80A) extends through an aperture (82) in the contact block (81) wherein the dual beam contact terminals (80A) are seated within the aperture (82) of the contact block (81) at an inwardly directed tension that maintains a desired spring rate on the contacts.

An electrical connector including a housing; electrical contacts connected to the housing; an outer shield connected to the housing; and at least one inner shield mounted along a portion of a front side of the housing. The inner shield includes a general C shaped substantially unvarying and uniform front end, and two legs extending reward from the front end. Each leg comprises a rear end with a portion which extends into the housing to attach the rear end to the housing. The front end of the inner shield is not directly mechanically attached to a front of the outer shield.

A connector (12) mates to a header (10) having a plurality of header contacts (20) arranged into a plurality of header rows, where the header contacts in each header row include signal contacts and ground contacts in a pre-determined arrangement. The connector is complementary to the header and has a housing (40) and a connector row (27) corresponding to each header row. Each connector row is mounted as a sub-assembly to the housing to form the connector and has a plurality of connector contacts (26), a row block (34), and a row shield (28). Each connector contact of the connector row corresponds to a header contact. The row block securely holds each connector contact in the connector row. The row shield electrically shields the connector contacts of the connector row from an adjacent connector row.
