Abstract:
A connector system includes a plug assembly that has a front connector mounted to a circuit board. The connecter has two wafers that each support a row of terminals and uses shims and pegs to precisely control the spatial relationship of the two wafers to the circuit board. The wafers need not be directly contacting the circuit board and the terminals can have tails that can be positioned slightly above the circuit board and connector to pads on the circuit board via solder connections. The connector system is optimized so as to enable support of 25 Gbps data rates.
Abstract:
A cable assembly comprises a carrier board (150) having a terminating side (162) and a mounting side (164) that face in opposite directions. The terminating side includes a contact array (170) of electrical contacts (201), and the mounting side (164) includes a mating array (260) of electrical contacts (261). The contact array (170) and the mating array (260) are interconnected to each other through conductive pathways of the carrier board. The contact array (170) along the terminating side overlaps with the mating array (260) along the mounting side. The carrier board is configured to be mounted onto an electrical component having a two-dimensional array (138) of electrical contacts such that the mating array (260) electrically engages the two-dimensional array. The cable assembly includes a plurality of cables (126, 127, 128) having cable end portions (130) including exposed signal conductors (174) that are terminated to corresponding electrical contacts (201) of the contact array (170).
Abstract:
Connector receptacles that are able to withstand insertion and other forces, are reliable, and are easy to manufacture. In various examples, the connector receptacle tongue or other portions may be reinforced such that they may withstand the insertion forces exerted through a connector insert.
Abstract:
A connector system is disclosed that is configured to provide terminals at a 0.5 mm pitch with providing for high data rates of 10 Gbps or more. In an embodiment, a 4X connector can be provided that is about the size of a convention SFP connector while still supporting relatively high data rates. This connector can be stacked to provide additional density.
Abstract:
A shielding cage is disclosed that has an EMI gasket integrally formed on its exterior. In order to prevent the overinsertion of the cage into a faceplate opening, a plurality of stop members are formed integrally with the cage walls and comprise angled tabs that are bent outwardly away from the cage walls at an angle of between about 30 and 90. The stop members are flanked by a pair of EMI gasket spring fingers and are positioned so that they are located above the centers of modules inserted into module-receiving bays of the shielding cage.
Abstract:
A connector with a sheet has a housing mated with another connector, a terminal secured to the housing and contacting another terminal on the other connector, and a sheet affixed to the housing. The sheet has a laminate structure which includes a soft magnetic layer having real parts of complex relative permeability at 100 MHz of from 20 to 45, and a conductive/dielectric layer having an electrical resistance of from 0.5 to 20 Ω•cm.
Abstract:
A retention housing having a housing body is provided, the retention housing configured to be mounted to a substrate. At least one, such as a plurality of cables can be electrically connected to a respective surface of the substrate to which the retention housing is mounted. When the retention housing is mounted to the respective surface of the substrate, at least a portion of the at least one cable can be compressed between a ground element supported by the respective surface of the substrate and a corresponding upper wall of the housing body, such that the at least one cable is placed into electrical communication with a ground plane defined by the substrate.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a Sub-D connector having a base sheet (100), to which a plug connector is fastened, comprising positioning journals (165) for positioning on a printed circuit board and lateral fastening openings (220) for receiving fastening screws or fastening pins, wherein the base sheet (100) comprises lateral tabs (110) which are bent twice essentially at a right angle and surround a plug connector housing (200) at the edges. The invention is characterized in that, in the state where the tabs (110) are bent twice, the fastening openings (220) on the front and rear side of the connector are covered by the tabs (110) and the positioning journals (165) are arranged on the part (111) of the tabs (110) which is bent once.
