Abstract:
A radio frequency connector assembly has a die cast housing (1), a plurality of RF coaxial contacts (2) and two insert-molded lead frame assemblies (3). The die cast housing includes a pair of side walls (10) each forming a row of solder tabs (100) at a lower end thereof, a front wall (11) and a rear wall (13) defining a plurality of passageways (130, 131). The lead frame assemblies are made by insert molding contacts (300, 301) into a plastic portion (31). The lead frame assemblies are installed in passageways of the die cast housing. Tabs (133, 134, 140, 141) in the die cast housing are pressed down to hold the lead frame assemblies in place. The lead frame assemblies located within corresponding passageways (130, 131) in the die cast housing are optimized for a specific impedance.
Abstract:
A connection terminal for use with a flat flexible connector comprises a base defining first and second sides. A pair of cantilevered arms extends forward from the base. Each arm forms a contact portion at a free end thereof. Characterized in that the contact portion has reduced thickness than the rest of the terminal.
Abstract:
An electrical connector includes an insulative housing defining a plurality of spaced channels for receiving and retaining conductive spring contacts therein. Each contact is U-shaped and has an anchoring section fixed in the corresponding channel and an engaging section resiliently attached to the anchoring section by a U-shaped bent section and partially extending beyond the housing for engaging with an electronic device. An opening is defined in the bent section through which a wire extends with a conductive core of the wire being fixed to the anchoring section whereby the engaging section overlaps the wire for reducing the space occupied thereby. The engaging section has a free end having side projections received and retained in recesses defined in side walls of the corresponding channels for preloading the engaging section.
Abstract:
A cable assembly comprises an IDC connector including a dielectric housing having front and rear faces. An array of passageways is defined between the front and rear faces. Each passageway securely receives a terminal therein. Each terminal forms an insulation displacement section extending beyond the rear face and a pin section extending beyond the front face. A cover is assembled to the rear face. A row of ground contacts is assembled to a top face of the cover. Each ground contact has a tip and an insulation displacement section at opposite end thereof. A ground plane cable is assembled to the housing by means of the cover. The cable includes a plurality of signal and ground conductors terminating at the insulation displacement sections of the terminals, wherein a ground plane of the cable electrically connects with the tips of the ground contacts when the cable is fed around the IDC connector.
Abstract:
An electrical connector comprises a dielectric housing having a front face and a rear face opposite the front face. A mating portion extends from the rear face for mating with a complementary connector. A first contact section is integrally formed on the front face for connecting with a first connector. A second contact section is integrally formed on the front face for connecting with a second connector and includes at least a contact pin extending beyond the front face. An alignment plate having an opening for insertion of the contact pin is assembled to the front face for securely positioning the contact pin.
Abstract:
A micro coaxial cable connector assembly for contact with a mating electrical connector, includes a first and second housing members, a cable set with a plurality of cables, an upper and lower shield members, and a plurality of contacts. The cable set consists of the cables each having at least a signal segment and a grounding segment, and a grounding bar soldered with the grounding segments of the cables. The upper and lower shield members attached onto the first housing member are engagingly jointed with each other and electrically contact with a shield member of the mating connector. Meanwhile, the upper shield member further forms a plurality of spring fingers further extending inside the first housing member to electrically engage with the grounding bar of the cable set received therein. Therefore, a grounding path from the cables to the mating connector can be fully established.

Abstract:
An electrical connector (100) to be mounted onto a substrate (3) having a first surface (30) and a second surface (32) includes an insulative housing (1) and a number of conductive contacts (2) assembled to the insulative housing. The insulative housing defines a mounting surface (102) to face the first surface (30) of the substrate (3) and a number of passages extending from the mounting surface (102) into the housing (1). The conductive contact includes a tail portion (22) substantially flushed to the mounting surface of the housing and a contacting portion (23) extending away from the mounting surface of the insulative housing for mating with an electrical component (4) mounted on the second surface of the substrate.
