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 micro coaxial cable connector assembly for contact with a mating electrical connector, includes a first and second housing means, a cable set with a plurality of cables, and a plurality of contacts. The first and second housing members are efficiently and durably retained together by means of the cooperation between a pair of channels and latch portions thereof and the interference fit of first retention sections and second retention sections of the contacts with a plurality of grooves and the passageways thereof. The cable set consists of the juxtaposed cables each having at least a signal segment and a grounding segment, and a grounding bar defined with two plates soldered with the grounding segments of the cables. Each passageway is equipped with multi-directional orientating means for convenience of soldering the signal segment of the cable with the tail section of the corresponding contact via an external tool. A method of making the cable connector assembly is introduced for convenience of the assembly.
Abstract:
A transition cable assembly comprises a flexible circuit having a connecting portion at one end and a socket connector at another end for mating with a complimentary connector. The flexible circuit defines at least a hole adjacent to the connecting portion. A strain relief is assembled to the flexible circuit adjacent to the hole thereby preventing the flexible circuit from breaking around the hole.
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).
Abstract:
Electrical connector assemblies comprising a housing and a plurality of contact pins engaged therein, the pins having spaced flexible contact arms adapted to receive and be flexed apart by an electrical component such as a printed circuit card during the pivot attachment thereof. The contact pins have a spaced pair of lower contact legs and a spaced pair of upper contact arms, one of which is generally C-shaped and flexible in directions towards and away from the other to provide a flexible gap therebetween which, at rest, is greater than the thickness of the printed circuit card.
