Abstract:
The invention concerns an electrical connector (1) comprising a box (2), at least one electrically conductive track (7, 9, 10, 11) and a plurality of first electrical contacts (8), the first contacts being designed to come into contact with complementary second electrical contacts (20) of a complementary connection device (5). In order to reduce the manufacturing cost of such an electrical connector and increase the electronic data transfer capacity through this electrical connector, the invention provides that the first electrical contacts are connected to electrically conductive tracks by joining, and that the box is formed by at least one molded plastic that is at least partially metal-coated to form the electrically conductive tracks.
Abstract:
A connector is described, the connector comprising a housing with a bottom wall and two upstanding opposite side walls determining a receiving space for receiving an insertion side of a second connector. The housing is provided with a flexible latch for locking the second connector in the receiving space of the housing. The latch is mounted in the bottom wall of the housing.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a cable connector (1) comprising a housing with a base (2) substantially extending between a front side (3) and a rear side (4) of said connector (1) and a first housing part (7) mountable to said base (2) such that said first housing part (7) and a first portion (9) of said base (2) determine a cable passage configured to accommodate a ferrule arrangement (6) of a cable (5). The cable passage comprises at least one recessed portion (20) configured to receive a corresponding protrusion (35) of said ferrule arrangement (6) or vice versa. Accordingly a high density cable connector (1) is obtained with improved cable relief performance.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a cable connector (1) for a plurality of cables (7, 8), wherein each of the cables (7, 8) comprises at least one conductor and a shielding. The connector (1) comprises a cover (2) and at least one connecting means (32) for electrically connecting the shielding and the cover (2). The connector further comprises a holder (24) for at least one of the connecting means (32) and at least one pressure means (27) adapted to develop contact pressure between the connecting means (32) and the cover (2). Preferably the pressure means (27) relate to flexible mechanical means, such as a clamp and/or clip and/or spring and/or a lever. The invention also relates to a ferrule holder (24) and a method for assembling a cable connector (1).
Abstract:
An optical coupling device comprises: a Z-reference part co-operating with a Z- reference of a first optical device, to define the location of a first optical interface of the coupling device along a direction (Z), fixation parts (17, 19), extending at different heights along this direction, adapted to be glued to the first optical device.
Abstract:
A connector assembly comprises a first connector and a second connector configured for mating with each other to a mated state. The first connector comprises a first contact terminal with a first electrical contact surface portion on an exterior side of the first contact terminal. The second connector comprises a housing configured for receiving the first contact terminal, and a second contact terminal arranged at least partially within the housing and comprising a second electrical contact surface portion configured to contact the first electrical contact surface portion of the first contact terminal in the mated state of the first connector and the second connector. At least one of the housing and the first contact terminal is shaped to prevent mechanical contact between the housing and the first electrical contact surface portion when mating the first and second connectors.
Abstract:
An assembly comprises a first device and a mating second device. The first device comprises an aperture defined by one or more interior wall portions. The second device comprises a mounting peg (3) configured to be received in the aperture of the first device in a mated state of the first and second devices. The mounting peg comprises a main body portion (4) extending in a first direction (z), a plurality of first portions (5) and at least one second portion (6). Each first portion extends in a direction (r, φ (5,,j)) substantially perpendicular to the first direction to at least abut one or more of the interior wall portions of the aperture of the first device in the mated state of the first and second devices. The at least one second portion is configured to at least abut at least a portion of the first device to define an insertion depth in the first direction of the peg into the aperture in the mated state of the first and second devices. The at least one second portion extends from the peg in a direction (r, φ (6,,j)) substantially perpendicular to the first direction different from the directions of extension (φ (5,,j)) of the first portions.
Abstract:
A connector (1) comprises a housing (2), substantially surrounding at least one contact terminal and having a front surface (4) substantially perpendicular to a mating direction (MD) for mating with a counterpart. At least one contact spring (5) is attached to the housing, comprising at least one elastically deformable spring element (8) and being arranged for making contact with and deflecting against a surface of the counterpart facing the connector front surface when the connector is mated to the counterpart. The housing (2) comprises a plurality of first protrusions (6) protruding in the mating direction and being arranged for making contact with, when the connector is mated to a counterpart, the surface of the counterpart and thereby substantially limiting the deflection of the spring element within its elastic deformation range.
Abstract:
Cable connector comprising a connector housing (2, 102, 202) and a cable clamp (3, 103, 203) for clamping a cable to the housing. The cable clamp having an intermediate portion (13, 113, 213) between a first and a second mounting portion. At least one of the two mounting portions (12, 112, 212) of the cable clamp is provided with locking means selectively cooperative with at least two matching locking means (20, 21), such as slots, of the connector housing to hold the cable clamp in respective different positions corresponding to different cable diameters.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an electrical connector assembly having an improved system for dissipating electrostatic charges. The electrical connector assembly comprises a first connector having first electrical terminals, a second connector having second electrical terminals, a first cooperating means (20) adapted to engage a complementary second cooperating means (26) so as an electrostatic discharge occurs prior to connection of the first and the second terminals.
