Abstract:
The present invention pertains to a connector, having a rear side and a mating side and comprising a housing having at least one contact receiving space and at least one non-contact receiving space, the spaces extending in a direction from the mating side towards the rear side. The non-contact receiving space is adapted for receiving a portion of a mating connector housing and has a substantially rounded cross sectional shape substantially perpendicular to the direction from the mating side towards the rear side.
Abstract:
The invention relates a connector system (1) comprising a connector housing (2), capable of receiving a cable connector (3), and a panel (7), said panel having at least one opening (8) defined by edges (9) of said panel, from which opening at least a front portion of said connector housing protrudes to receive said cable connector and wherein at least one contact element (20) is provided, capable of electrically coupling said connector housing and said cable connector by a first group of electrical contacts (24) and electrically coupling said connector housing and said panel by a second group of electrical contacts (26). The contact element (20) is structured to provide at least two contacts for said second group (26). The invention also relates to a contact element as such.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a connector (10) comprising a plurality of leads (11,12) extending between a mating end (M) and a contact end (C) of said connector (10) and a further part (20;50;62) contacting at least one of said leads by at least one contacting element (23,24;40;51;60). At least one of said leads (11,12) forms a portion of at least one opening (15,17) holding said contacting element (23,24;40;51;60) of said further part (20;50;62). Preferably the opening (15) is formed with the at least one lead (11,12). Such an opening reduces the influence of the contacting element on the differential impedance.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a cable connector assembly (1) comprising a cable connector (2) with metallic cover shells (4,5) and a cable (3), said cable (3) comprising a shielding braid (31) in electrical connection with at least one of said metallic cover shells (4,5). A portion of said shielding braid (31) is folded back over a support member (33) provided for said cable (3) to clamp said portion of said shielding braid (31) between said support member (31) and at least one of said metallic cover shells (4,5) in a clamping portion of said cable connector (2). Accordingly a cable connector assembly (1) is obtained with improved mechanical and electromagnetic shielding characteristics. The support member (33) is not crimped on the cable jacket and may comprise multiple parts. The invention further relates to a cable connector (2) and a method for assembling a cable (3) to a cable connector (2).
Abstract:
An electrical connector including a housing; electrical contacts connected to the housing; and a shield cover connected to the housing. The shield cover includes a first cover member and a second cover member. The shield cover surrounds the housing. The first cover member includes a first cover member latching section having a first lateral side with inward projecting hooks and an opposite second lateral side with outward projecting hooks. The second cover member has a second cover member latching section with a first lateral side with inward projecting hooks and an opposite second lateral side with outward projecting hooks. The inward projecting hooks of the first cover member latching section is latched to the outward projecting hooks of the second cover member latching section, and the inward projecting hooks of the second cover member latching section is latched to the outward projecting hooks of the first cover member latching section.
Abstract:
An electrical connector assembly comprises a first connector having an outer housing having an activatable latch flexibly attached thereto, the latch having a lock tab located thereon; an inner housing mounted in the outer housing, the inner housing having first and second prongs integrally formed with the inner housing and configured to continuously bias the latch; and a second connector comprising a cavity formed on a surface thereof. Continuously biasing the latch by the first and second prongs causes the engagement of the lock tab of the first connector with the cavity of the second connector to lock the first connector to the second connector.
Abstract:
An electrical terminal includes an electrically conductive monolithic body including a mating end having a base, a contact beam spaced from the base in an upward direction, a side wall that extends from the base to the contact beam, and a spring assist member. The contact beam can be elastically flexible from an initial position whereby the spring assist member is spaced from the contact beam in the upward direction, to a deflected position whereby the contact beam abuts the spring assist member. The electrical is suited for assembly into a connector assembly which includes and inner core and an outer housing.
Abstract:
A pin receiving terminal contact and a connector comprising one or more of such terminal contacts. The terminal contacts (1) comprise a base (13) comprising a folded strip and at least a first contact beam (3, 5) having a root end extending from said base (13) and a contact face (11, 12) bent sideward under an angle with said root end.
Abstract:
A connector assembly (1) comprising a first connector (3) and a second connector (2) connectable by a latch (86, 126). The latch has a snap end (91) for engaging a snap section (30) and an opposite lock end (105, 124). The latch comprises a pivot section (A) between the snap end and the lock end enabling a pivoting movement between a snap position and a release position. A lock (38, 121) is provided immobilizing the lock end of the latch to secure the latch in the snap position by blocking the pivoting movement.
Abstract:
A connector (3) comprising a latch (86) hingeable about a hinging section. The latch has a latch end (91) at one side of the hinging section and a rear end (92) at the opposite side of the hinging section. The connector comprises one or more resilient spring elements (94) engaging the rear end to bias the latch end to a latching position.
