Abstract: Cowlings described herein for board-to-board connectors can provide high stiffness, low weight, and low total cost. Such cowlings can provide ribs with increased thickness for targeted stiffness to resist bowing in a given direction. The layers of the cowlings can include carbon fiber extending in directions parallel to the ribs in some layers and transverse to the ribs in other layers. The layers can be formed together within a mold tool that shapes the fibers into the ribs.

Abstract: An electronic assembly having a printed circuit board (PCB) formed of a substrate of electrically isolating material that electrically isolates conductive traces carried therein and an electrical contact electrically coupled to an electrical trace and including, an electrical component that uses a high current/low loss signal, the electrical component being mounted at the substrate and electrically coupled to the electrical contact, a flex assembly having a housing formed of electrically isolating material, the housing carrying lines in a stacked arrangement each of which is capable of providing a high current/low loss path for carrying the high current/low loss signal, the flex assembly having a terminal having contacts arranged in a low-noise pattern where a contact is electrically connected to a corresponding transmission line and capable of forming an electrical connection between the transmission line and at least one electrical trace.
