Abstract:
Integrated signal pair elements are disclosed that can be inserted into and removed from a backplane connector housing as a single piece. Each element includes an insulative frame that supports a pair of conductive terminals in a spaced-apart arrangement. The frame is attached to a ground shield that provides a ground plane that extends around three sides of the signal pair. Cable wires are terminated to tail portions of the signal pair and an insulative material is molded over the cable wire termination area to form an integrated signal pair element. The individual signal pair elements may also be commoned together in a linear array of signal pair elements by a commoning member that contacts the ground shields of the array of signal pair elements.
Abstract:
An EMI gasket assembly as used in angled shielding cage applications and includes a gasket frame with an opening that receives the front end of the cage therein. The gasket frame has guides disposed on one side of it that contact the cage and orient it at an angle to the gasket frame. The gasket frame further includes at least a pair of clips that retain a conductive, compressible in place around the frame opening.

Abstract:
A receptacle assembly includes a hollow conductive cage with a front end and an opening to an interior portion of the cage. The opening is configured to receive a module assembly therein. The cage has a bottom with a bottom opening communicating with the interior portion, and the bottom is configured to be joined to a circuit board. A layered EMI shield member is provided between the bottom of the cage and the circuit board and the shield member extends completely around the bottom opening of the cage. The EMI shield member is formed as a flexible, low-cost assembly that utilizes a pair or insulative layers that flank a conductive layer.
