摘要： A high speed, low impedance shielded connector is disclosed. The shield is formed of sheet material and includes multiple integral shield-to-plug contacts in a limited longitudinal space. Such contacts are forwardly facing, to reduce ground path lengths or are arranged substantially parallel to a plug insertion axis, to below development of high normal forces. Shielding of an array of connectors is enhanced by the use of transverse flanges having interfitting sections that provide effective shielding are allow close spacing or adjacent connectors in the array.

摘要： A pair of mating connectors includes a receptacle having an insulative housing and at least one conductive receptacle contact with a pair of spaced walls forming a plug contact receiving space. The plug connector has an insulative housing and at least one conductive contact having a pair of spaced walls which converge to form a projection engageable in the plug receiving space of the receptacle contact. In each case, the spaced walls are joined by a bridging structure that unites the walls. The plug and receptacle contacts are retained in the respective housings by engagement of opposed lateral edge portions of the contacts with the housings in a manner to enhance heat dissipation by convection by maintaining substantial portions of the contacts spaced from the housing walls and from each other. The bridging structure may include a retention element for engaging respective connector housings to retain the contact in the housings. The open structure of both the receptacle and plug contacts enhances heat dissipation and allows flexibility in achieving desired contact normal forces. The contact construction is especially useful for electronic power connectors.

摘要： An electrical connector and method for mechanically supporting the main body of a connector module to a daughterboard Printed Circuit Board (PCB) in a manner that also allows attachment of a zero-footprint board stiffener thereby eliminating the need to take up valuable real estate on the PCB. The stiffener rail, by attaching to the cover, has the desired feature of not requiring typical board stiffener mounting holes located on the PCB, as is he case with a typical edge mounted connector. This feature conserves space on the PCB and eliminates trace routing problems caused by these typical stiffener mounting holes. In addition to the board stiffener not requiring mounting holes on the PCB, this improvement simultaneously aligns the connector modules to each other creating a one piece "mono-block" like effect while at the same time acting to stiffen the PCB thereby reducing any PCB bowing. Alternatively, an electrical connector and method for mechanically supporting the main body of a connector module to a daughterboard Printed Circuit Board (PCB) in a manner that also allows attachment of a minimum-footprint board stiffener thereby eliminating the need to take up valuable real estate on the PCB.

摘要： A connector for connecting electrical conductor areas of flexible circuits with associated conductor pads of an edge connector portion of a circuit board, comprising a connector housing having a circuit board opening sized to at least partially accommodate the edge connector portion, and a further opening allowing passage of the flexible circuits into an interior cavity of the connector housing. A first spring and second spring each have a resilient arched feature for supporting one of the flexible circuits to resiliently bias an electrical conductor area of the associated flexible circuit into electrical contact with associated conductor pads when the connector engages the edge connector portion. The electrical conductor areas of the flexible circuits face each other. At least one of the springs is bent so as to have a first L shaped portion and a second L shaped portion at an end thereof, with the second L shaped portion being oriented approximately 90 degrees offset to the first L shaped portion, and one end of the first L shaped portion contacting one end of the second L shaped portion. The springs resiliently urge the flexible circuits to provide electrical contact with the conductor pads of the edge connector portion when the connector is attached at a desired location to the circuit board.

摘要： A connector that acts as a power and signal link between a computer processor and a power source provides a short, compact signal path with the use of high conductivity contacts and flexible cable. A modularity connection scheme is used in which the connector comprises several assemblies. An exemplary connector comprises a first contact assembly, a second contact assembly, and a housing. The internal components of the connector consist of the first contact assembly and the second contact assembly. The first contact assembly is preferably a power contact assembly and comprises a pair of flexible contacts having contact areas. The second assembly is preferably an auxiliary contact assembly and comprises a flexible contact having contact area. The first assembly and the second assembly are inserted into the housing, and are thereby trapped by the housing surfaces to form the connector.
