Abstract:
A cable connector for connecting a plurality of coaxial cables to a printed circuit board comprises an insulative housing mounted on a printed circuit board, a plurality of signal terminals, a grounding terminal and a snap cover secured on the housing. The housing defines a plurality of first receiving portions for receiving the coaxial cables. Each signal terminal comprises a solder portion soldered on the printed circuit board and a contact portion extending into the corresponding first receiving portion of the housing. The grounding terminal received in the housing comprises a plurality of solder sections soldered to the printed circuit board and a plurality of tabs extending into the first receiving portions for connecting with metal braids of the coaxial cables, establishing grounding connections. The snap cover defines a plurality of second receiving portions corresponding to the first receiving portions of the housing. The coaxial cables are clamped between the first receiving portions and the second receiving portions thereby pressing conductors of the coaxial cables to contact the contact portion of corresponding signal terminals and preventing displacement of the coaxial cables from the cable connector.
Abstract:
An FFC connector having a strain relief comprises an elongate dielectric housing (10) having front and rear faces (10a, 10b). The front face (10a) defines a lengthwise slot (10c) for receiving a flat flexible cable (20) therein. The housing (10) defines a plurality of passageways (11) communicating with the slot (10c). Each passageway (11) receives a terminal (12) therein for electrically connecting with a conductor of the inserted flat flexible cable (20). A supporting platform (30) is assembled to the dielectric housing (10). An elongate latch (31) upwardly extends from a front periphery of the platform (30) thereby defining a receiving space therein. An edge of a backing plate (22) of the inserted flat flexible cable (20) interlocks with the supporting platform (30).
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.
Abstract:
A radio frequency connector assembly has s a die cast housing (1), a number of RF coaxial contacts (2), two insert-molded lead frame assemblies (3) and a back cover (4) with a pair of arms (41). The die cast housing includes a pair of side walls (10) each defining a slot (101) therein, a front wall (11) and a rear wall (13), and a plurality of passageways (130, 131). The arms of the back cover are latched in the corresponding slots of the side walls. The back cover has two pairs of inner and outer ribs (44, 47), each outer rib (47) defining a pair of pits (48) thereof for accommodating the inner conductors of the coaxial contacts.
Abstract:
An FPC assembly (10) includes a circuit unit (12) with two different pitch arrangement connectors (14, 16) at two opposite ends. The circuit unit (12) includes a signal FPC (18) and a grounding FPC (20). A buffer layer (22) with adhesives on two opposite surfaces (24, 26) is sandwiched between the signal FPC (18) and the grounding FPC (20), and thus the signal FPC (18), the buffer layer (22) and the grounding FPC (20) are adhesively fastened with one another as one circuit unit (12). The signal FPC (18), the buffer layer (22) and the grounding FPC (20) respectively include contact tail holes (34, 35) at two opposite ends for receivable engagement with the corresponding contact tails (36, 37) of the connectors (14, 16).
Abstract:
An electrical connector comprises a die cast housing defining a receiving space therein. A connector insert is inserted into the receiving space and includes a first half integrally formed therewith a plurality of first terminals, and a second half mated with the first half and integrally formed with a plurality of second terminals which are symmetrically aligned with the first terminals. Each of the first and second terminals includes a body portion enclosed within the corresponding half, and a mating portion extending beyond the block and a tail portion extending opposite the mating portion. Retaining posts and recesses are formed between the first and second blocks to fixedly secure the first and second blocks together. A grounding bus is sandwiched between the first and second blocks. The ground bus includes a plurality of pin legs having a needle-eye thereon.
Abstract:
A cable assembly comprises a substrate forming first and second mating portions and a ground pad. A first connector is assembled to the first mating portion and a ribbon cable electrically connected to the first mating portion. A ground plane is assembled to the ribbon cable and electrically connected to the ground pad of the substrate at one end. A second connector is connected to another end of the ribbon cable. A metal tab electrically connected to ground terminals of the second connector at one end and electrically connected to the ground plane at another end.
Abstract:
An FFC connector having a strain relief comprises an elongate dielectric housing having front and rear faces. The front face defines a lengthwise slot for receiving a flat flexible cable therein. The housing defines a plurality of passageways in communication with the slot. Each passageway receives a terminal therein for electrical connection with an inserted flat flexible cable. The strain relief is assembled to the housing for attaching a portion of the flat flexible cable to the housing thereby limiting any motion between cable conductors of the flat flexible connector and contacts of the terminals.
Abstract:
A ground plane cable assembly (10) includes a flat ribbon cable (12) and a ground plane (18) sandwiching a dielectric spacer (20) therebetween wherein several openings are provided in the dielectric spacer (20) to lower the capacitance between the flat ribbon cable (12) and the ground plane (18) so that the impedance of the whole cable assembly (10) can be raised to a relative high value without increasing the thickness of the dielectric spacer (20).
