Abstract:
A connector includes a body, a slot within the body configured to receive a substrate and including a first end and a second end, contacts arranged along the slot between the first end and the second end, and a biasing mechanism arranged to align the substrate as the substrate is inserted into the slot so that substrate is in contact with the second end when the substrate is fully inserted into the slot.
Abstract:
A connector system includes a substrate; a first connector connected to the substrate and including a first housing, a second housing, and a cage surrounding the first and second housings; first cables connected to the second housing and the substrate; first contacts located in the first housing and directly connected to substrate; and second contacts located in the first housing and connected to the first cables.
Abstract:
A contact ribbon configured to connect a cable to a substrate includes a plurality of signal contacts, a ground plane, and at least one ground contact extending from the ground plane. The plurality of signal contacts are connected by a support member, and the support member is removable after the plurality of signal contacts are connected to the cable.
