An EMI gasket takes the form of a metal shroud that completely encircles a metal shielding cage. The shroud has an opening that is surrounded by a plurality of sides and each side has first and second flanges, which respectively contact the inner surface of the device faceplate and the exterior surfaces of the shielding cage. A pair of spring arms are provided in order to apply a biasing force against the shroud, thereby forcing it into contact with the faceplate. The spring arms each include a torsion loop, and each loop engages the shielding cage and fixes the rear position of the spring arms.

A shroud that forms a guide channel for a receptacle connector is disclosed and it has the shape of an inverted U-shape, with a press tab for engaging a mating connector. The shroud has notches and tabs formed on it that serve to orient the mating connector for entry into the shroud. A placement member is described that holds the connector and the shroud together as a single unit for robotic placement of the shroud and connector in preselected positions on the circuit board.

A plug connector is disclosed that has a body portion and a circuit card extending forwardly of a mating face of the connector. The circuit card is protected in place by one or more protective flanges that extend forwardly from the body portion and which flank the circuit card to protect it from stubbing and to provide a means for aligning the plug connector with the receptacle connector. The body portion has a hollow frame that supports the circuit card and the interior of the frame is filled with a molding material, such as plastic.

A connector assembly is provided with opposing and interengageable first and second connector components. Each of the two components has internal cavities that contain terminal assemblies of either plug or receptacle structure and may further include either a plurality of power terminals or differential signal terminals. The terminals have contact portions, tail portions and interconnecting portions that are partially encapsulated by an insulative outer support frames. The shell forms a wafer and two such wafers are combined together to form a terminal assembly. The terminal assemblies are identical in shape, other than for an engagement means that serves to hold two subframes together as a single assembly.

A shielded electrical connector is provided for mounting on a printed circuit board. The connector includes a dielectric housing having a plurality of terminal-receiving cavities and a plurality of board-engaging pads projecting from the bottom of the housing. A plurality of terminals are received in the cavities. Portions of the housing between the terminals are plated with conductive metal material to electrically shield the terminals from each other and to provide a controlled impedance. The plating is continuous onto the pads for connection to appropriate ground circuit means on the printed circuit board. In an alternative embodiment, a shielded electrical connector assembly includes a pair of connectors both of which have plated housings with interengaging plated portions.

Blocks of wafer or plug connectors are held together by retainer members and are secured within a backplane connector by a latching assembly. The latching assembly includes a latching lever that has an engagement end extending to the base of the backplane connector. The lever is movably connected to the retainer member so that it may pivot, or rock, about an inflection point. The lever also includes a biasing member that constantly biases the lever into a latching position.

A connector for an edge card which includes a plurality of contact terminals spaced apart in an elongated connector housing has at least one latch/eject mechanism rotatably disposed at an end of the connector housing. The latch/eject member operates between a first operative position wherein it latches the edge card in place within the connector housing and a second operative position wherein it at least partially ejects the edge card out of the connector housing. The latch/eject member is limited in its rotation during ejection of the edge card by one or more interference surfaces formed in the latch/eject member which engage a portion of the connector housing during ejection.

An electrical connector assembly is provided for mounting on a printed circuit board. The assembly includes an elongated housing having a mother board-mounting face and a daughter board-receiving face. A pair of generally parallel slots extend lengthwise of the housing in the board-receiving face for receiving a pair of daughter boards. A plurality of terminal-receiving passages are provided along the housing in proximity to each slot. A plurality of terminals are received in the passages, and each terminal has a contact section for engaging a circuit on the respective daughter board received in the respective slot. An elongated stiffening bar is disposed within the elongated housing between the pair of slots therein. The bar is rigid in a direction generally perpendicular to the mother board mounted to the board-mounting face of the housing. Stiffening bar includes a plurality of feet for securing the bar to the mother board and thereby preventing warping thereof. The stiffening bar is press fit into a third slot in the board-mounting face of the housing such that the housing and the stiffening bar can be conjointly mounted to the mother board in a single assembly step.

A card edge connector assembly includes an elongated housing having opposite ends with card injection and ejection levers thereat, and a card receiving slot between the ends. A printed circuit card has an edge insertable into the slot. The edge of the card is provided with a notch for embracing a partition spanning the slot of the housing to locate the card longitudinally of the housing. The partition of the housing and the notch in the card edge are complementarily offset from a mid-point of the slot to provide polarization between the card and the housing. Each insertion and ejection lever includes a plurality of spaced projections for interengagement with a plurality of recesses in an adjacent side edge of the printed circuit card. The projections move seriatim into and out of the recesses in response to pivoting of the lever to thereby insert and eject the card to and from the slot in response to pivoting the lever between the latched position and the eject position.
