Abstract:
A cable end connector includes an insulative housing (10), a terminal (40) received in the housing, a metal shell (50) enclosing the housing, and an independent thin layer insulator (1). The independent thin layer insulator is located between the housing and the metal shell for insulating the terminal from the metal shell, whereby the cable end connector achieves a good insulation function between the terminal and the metal shell.
Abstract:
A cable assembly (1) comprises an insulative housing (10) receiving a plurality of electrical terminals (12) therein and a metallic shielding (30) attached to the housing. The shielding forms an inner space for accommodating the housing and an adapter (4). The adapter has a connecting portion (41) extending out of an opening (3242) formed at a longitudinal side wall (324) of the shielding. A channel (42) is formed in the adapter such that a cable (5) can extend through the channel and into the space in the shielding to establish electrical connection with the terminals in the housing.
Abstract:
A cable connector assembly (1) includes an insulative housing (2), a number of contacts (3), a number of wires (5), a number of solder slugs (8) and a grounding member (6). The housing includes a mating portion (21) defining a receiving cavity (22) opening in a first direction, and a base (20) perpendicular to the mating portion and defining a number of canals (222). Each contact includes a pair of contacting portions (30) and a soldering portion (32) received in the canal and forming an extrusion (320) exposed beyond the canal. The solder slugs are received in the canals. The grounding member includes a first grounding shield (60) assembled to the mating portion in the first direction and a second grounding shield (62) assembled to the base in the second direction. The solder slugs melt upon heating the extrusions of the soldering portions to solder the contacts with the wires.
Abstract:
A cable connector assembly (100) includes a connector (90) and a coaxial cable subassembly (80). The coaxial cable subassembly has a plurality of wires (81), and a grounding bar (82) electrically contacting with braidings (811) of the wires. The connector includes a housing (10), an insert (20) defining a plurality of channels (201) for receiving contacts (30) and a slot (202) communicating with the channels for retaining the grounding bar, a shield (50) having a pair of tabs (53) extending therefrom, and a grounding plate (40) having two resilient pads (42). The two resilient pads are sandwiched between the tabs of the shield and the grounding bar to establish a grounding path.
Abstract:
A radio frequency transmitting system comprises first and second cable connector assemblies. The first cable connector assembly includes a first plug connector (8) having a spacer (1) mounted therearound, and a first receptacle connector (22). The first receptacle connector has a ground shell (24), and two tabs (26) depending from opposite sides of the ground shell. The second cable connector assembly includes a second plug connector mechanically identical to the first plug connector, and a second receptacle connector (16). The second receptacle connector is mechanically identical to the first receptacle connector except that two tabs (20) depending from opposite sides of a ground shell (18) of the second receptacle connector depend further than the tabs of the first receptacle connector. Therefore the second receptacle connector cannot be electrically engaged with the first plug connector, due to interference between the tabs of the second receptacle connector and the spacer.
Abstract:
A cable connector assembly (100) includes a cable connector (1) and a coaxial multiconductor cable set (40). The cable set (40) includes a grounding bar (50) electrically connected to braidings shielding each coaxial connector in each wire (401) of the cable set (40). The cable connector (1) comprises a housing (10), an insert (20) with a number of terminals (22), a grounding plate (30), and a shield (60) surrounding the housing. The cable set (40) is connected to the insert (20), the conductors (424) soldered to the terminals (22) and the grounding bar (50) mating with the insert (20). The housing (10) includes a front wall (14), a pair of sidewalls (13), and a top wall (12) with an opening (15) defined therebetween. A bottom side (217) of the insert (20) acts as a bottom wall of the housing (10) thereby reducing the profile of the cable connector (1). The grounding plate (30) has a number of grounding pads (35) and a pair of arms (33) extending from opposite ends of a strip (31) thereof. The grounding plate (30) is easily insertable between the housing (10) and the insert (20), whereby the arms (33) contact the grounding bar (50) engaged with the insert (20). The shield (60) provides a pair of fingers (62) pressing against the arms (33) of the grounding plate (30), thereby establishing a grounding path between the shield (60), the grounding plate (30), the grounding bar (50) and the braidings.
Abstract:
A connector assembly comprises a male connector defining a number of cavities. Each cavity having a header contact assembled therein. At least one cavity has at least a chamfered corner. A female connector forms a number of sleeve members corresponding to the cavities. Each sleeve member receives a receptacle contact therein. At least one sleeve member has at least a chamfered corner corresponding to the chamfered corner of the male connector. The sleeve member mechanically engages with the corresponding cavity when the male and female connectors are mated. Anti-disorientation means arranged between the male and female connectors includes a protrusion formed on an outer wall of at least one sleeve member of the female connector and a recess defined in an inner wall of at least one cavity of the male connector corresponding to the protrusion.
