Abstract:
The invention pertains to a cable connector comprising a housing of an electrically insulating material containing one or more contact elements, one or more openings for accommodating a corresponding number of cables, and a means for establishing a connection to a counterpart, such as a header soldered to a printed circuit board. The said the means comprises a resilient latch which in turn comprises a guide with which the latch is fitted, preferably by means of sliding, into or onto a complementary guide, such as a groove or rail, on the housing.
Abstract:
A cable connector for a cable with a plurality of insulated wires comprises a housing of insulating material accommodating a plurality of contacts to be connected to the wires, a mainly hollow hood connected to the housing and having a strain relief element to maintain the cable stationary with respect to the hood. The hood comprises first and second hood parts which can be interconnected. The strain relief element is adapted to surround at least partially the cable. The strain relief element is pressed on the cable by co-operation with one of the hood parts during interconnecting the first and second hood parts. Further, the strain relief element is fixed within the first and second hood parts by interconnecting these hood parts.
Abstract:
In a method for connecting a connector to a shielded cable, the cable having a plurality of wires, a common shielding and an outer jacket, the wires and the shielding are exposed at one end of the cable. A first sleeve-like body is provided on the outer jacket near the exposed shielding and the exposed shielding is laid on the first body. A second sleeve-like body is mounted on the first body to thereby clamp the exposed shielding between both bodies. The first body is mounted on the outer jacket by crimping an axial section of the first body at its end directed away from the exposed shielding, and the second body is crimped on the first body with an axial section at its end adjacent the exposed wires covering at most the non-crimped section of the first body.
Abstract:
A connector (1) for a cable (2) with a plurality of conductors and a common shielding (3), comprises a housing (4) of insulating material with contacts to be connected with the conductors, and a metal hood (5). The housing is at least partially accommodated in the hood and the shielding of the cable can be connected to the hood. The hood (5) is made as an integral part and surrounds an upper part of the housing only. The housing (4) is detachably mounted in the hood (5) by means of springy latching hooks (6) engaging in latching openings (7) of the hood.
Abstract:
A connector for high frequency signals comprises a housing of insulating material and a plurality of male contact elements. The housing has a bottom and two opposite side walls extending upwardly from the bottom, the bottom and side walls determining a receiving space. The bottom is provided with cavities regularly arranged in rows and columns. Each of the contact elements is mounted in a cavity, an upper end of each contact element projecting into the receiving space. At least a plurality of the cavities are metallized at their the inner walls. The contact elements are mounted in the metallized cavities by means of a support element of insulating material. Each support has a lower extension directed away from the receiving space and each support element is metallized at its outer side.

Abstract:
A connector (1, 30, 32) for a cable (2) with a plurality of conductors and a common shielding (3) comprises a housing (4) of insulating material with contacts to be connected with the conductors, and a metal hood (5). The housing is at least partially accommodated in the hood. The shielding of the cable can be connected to the hood. The housing (4) comprises a lower part (16) protruding out of the hood (5) along its complete circumference. This lower part is adapted to be inserted into a complementary connector (17). The hood is provided with at least one projecting flange (19, 31) for connecting the hood with a metal shielding (21) surrounding the complementary connector.
Abstract:
The invention pertains to a housing suitable for use in an electrical connector, which housing is attachable to a plurality of pins which are part of or inserted into a substrate and comprises a base provided with a plurality of through-holes for receiving the pins, and a plurality of locking elements, which, during attachment of the housing to the pins, slide over the pins and are pushed into the through-holes thus establishing interference between the housing and the pins. The locking elements are an integral part of the housing and connected thereto by means of a connection which fails during the said attachment of the housing to the pins.
