Abstract:
An EMI shield having a self-aligning device comprises a shroud portion defining a receptacle for receiving a mating portion of an inserted complementary connector. A first flange portion laterally extends around a bottom periphery of the shroud portion. The flange defines a plurality of holes for extension of locking bolts therethrough. Biasing tabs are integrally formed on side walls of the shroud portion and project into the receptacle for abutting against outer walls of a housing of the inserted complementary connector.
Abstract:
An electrical connector assembly comprises a housing having mating and rear surfaces, and defining first passageways between the mating and rear surfaces. A plurality of first terminals is assembled to the first passageways from the rear face. Each terminal has an insulation displacement section extending beyond the rear face. At least a slot is defined in the rear face separating at least one terminal from the rest of the first terminals thereby preventing sparks generated from therebetween. A cover is assembled to the rear face enclosing the insulation displacement sections of the terminals. The cover includes a barrier received in the slot of the housing thereby eliminating sparks resulted when the one terminal carries high voltage.
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 orientating means for convenience of soldering the signal segment of the cable with the tail of section of the corresponding contact. A method of making the cable connector assembly is introduced for convenience of the assembly.

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 connection terminal for use with a flat flexible connector comprises a base defining first and second sides. A pair of cantilevered arms extends forward from the base. Each arm forms a contact portion at a free end thereof. Characterized in that the contact portion has reduced thickness than the rest of the terminal.
Abstract:
A micro coaxial cable connector assembly for contact with a mating electrical connector, includes a first and second housing members, a cable set with a plurality of cables, an upper and lower shield members, and a plurality of contacts. The cable set consists of the cables each having at least a signal segment and a grounding segment, and a grounding bar soldered with the grounding segments of the cables. The upper and lower shield members attached onto the first housing member are engagingly jointed with each other and electrically contact with a shield member of the mating connector. Meanwhile, the upper shield member further forms a plurality of spring fingers further extending inside the first housing member to electrically engage with the grounding bar of the cable set received therein. Therefore, a grounding path from the cables to the mating connector can be fully established.
