摘要： An electrical connector system includes a metal shield having a cavity and being mountable on a substrate in at least two different orientations. A dielectric housing is mountable within the cavity in the shield in at least two different orientations for each orientation of the shield. A plurality of conductive terminals are mountable on the housing in at least two different orientations for each orientation of the housing. Therefore, the total combinations of different orientations of the metal shield, the dielectric housing and the conductive terminals effectively provide at least eight different configurations of electrical connectors.

摘要： A low profile electrical connector assembly includes plug and receptacle connectors having mating dielectric housings each mounting a plurality of terminals which include contact portions for interengagement with the contact portions of the terminals of the other connector. The terminals include mounting portions for surface connection to circuit traces on a pair of printed circuit boards. The receptacle terminals are generally U-shaped as defined by a first leg that is joined to the respective mounting portion of the terminal and a free spring contact leg that is engageable with the contact portion of one of the terminals of the other connector and which is preloaded on a shoulder of the receptacle housing. The first leg includes a proximal end fixed to the housing and a distal end movably supported therein to permit a portion of the first leg between the proximal end and the distal end to be flexibly movable into a slot in the housing during mating of the connectors.

摘要： A computing device includes a Mini DisplayPort or other standardized plug and port connection that is fully internalized within the full device housing. The port can be affixed or coupled to a printed circuit board, with a display cable having a mating plug that is plugged into the port. To prevent the inadvertent uncoupling of the plug from the port, one or more clips, clamps, fixtures, or other cable retention components can hold the cable and/or plug in place at or near where the plug inserts into the Mini DisplayPort or other standardized communication port. Added stability to the cable can also be provided at or near such location.

摘要： An electrical connector is provided with a latching system for latching the connector to a mating connector and includes a dielectric housing having a forward mating end. A pair of latch arms are disposed at opposite sides of the housing and each latch arm includes a front latch end for latchingly engaging an appropriate latch on the mating connector. Each latch arm includes a rear engagement end and an intermediate pivot portion between the front and rear ends pivotally mounting the latch arm to the housing. Each latch arm further includes a biasing portion engageable with the housing to pivotally bias the latch arm about the pivot portion toward a latched position. A single actuating bracket is pivotally mounted on the housing and is engageable with the rear engagement ends of both latch arms for pivoting the latch arms against the biasing portions thereof toward an unlatched position. A single manually operable actuator is movably mounted on the housing for pivoting the single actuating bracket into engagement with the two latch arms.

摘要： An electrical connector is provided for mating with a complementary connecting device in a mating direction. A non-conductive housing mounts a plurality of conductive terminals. The housing has a channel extending generally parallel to the mating direction with an opening to the channel at a forward mating end of the housing. A flexible latch arm is located in the channel and has a free end with a latch plate for latchingly engaging an appropriate latch of the complementary connecting device inserted into the opening of the channel. The latch arm and latch plate are located substantially entirely within the bounds of the channel. The latch plate is in a plane generally parallel to the mating direction and has side edges confined by opposite side walls of the housing.
