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 at the first end 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 contact includes a body section, a tail section arranged at a lower portion of the body section, a peg extending from the tail section such that the peg projects from a front surface of the contact, and a fusible member attached to the contact such that the peg protrudes into the fusible member. A lower portion of the fusible member is offset from a main portion of the fusible member.
Abstract:
A connector includes a connector body, a plurality of wafers arranged within the connector body, and a weld tab defined by a unitary member that includes a plurality of weld tab legs and a plurality of weld tab arms. The plurality of weld tab arms are arranged to engage with corresponding weld tab arm holes included in the connector body, and the plurality of weld tab legs are arranged to engage with a circuit board when the connector is mounted to the circuit board. The weld tab prevents the plurality of wafers from withdrawing from the connector body when the plurality of weld tab arms are engaged with the corresponding weld tab arm holes.

Abstract:
A system includes a substrate including a first row of first receptacles, a cradle including an opening and a spring member, connectors located within the opening, and cables connected to the connectors. The cradle is configured to connect each of the connectors simultaneously or nearly simultaneously to a corresponding first, and the spring member pushes on the connectors with a force greater than an insertion force of the first receptacle.
Abstract:
A transceiver for a two-connector system includes a circuit board, at least one cable attached to the circuit board, and a housing arranged to contain the circuit board. The two-connector system includes a front connector and a back connector. When the transceiver is connected to the two-connector system, a front edge of the circuit board is arranged to engage with the front connector and an intermediate portion of the circuit board is arranged to engage with the back connector.
