Abstract: A plug connector module that includes a metal frame having a base portion, an insertion end and a cavity that extends from the base portion into the insertion end. The insertion end is configured to be inserted into a cavity of a corresponding receptacle connector. A substrate extends through the base portion of the frame and into the insertion end and has a plurality of contact bonding pads at one end positioned within the frame, a plurality of conductor bonding pads at the opposing end and at least one ground pad contact between the contact bonding pads and conductor bonding pads. A first plurality of external contacts is positioned in a first opening and bonded to some of the plurality of contact bonding pads on the substrate and a second plurality of contacts positioned within a second opening and bonded to some of the plurality of contact bonding pads on the substrate. One or more electronic components coupled to the substrate. A first encapsulant that covers and environmentaly seals the one or more electronic components. A metal shield coupled to the base portion of the metal frame and encasing a portion of the substrate and the one or more electronic components, the metal shield having a leg that is substantially perpendicular to the substrate and coupled to the substrate at the ground pad, and a second encapsulant that covers and environmentally seals the ground pad and at least a portion of the leg. 65354894v.] 108a 105c 106a 102a10 106Fi.1 106(1)..(8 59 59 -, 105 p Ap fu 102'~ U 102 b U ~102b 112' 106a 106b 105C I105b

Abstract: Ein Steckverbindermodul, das einen Metallrahmen umfasst, mit einem Basisabschnitt, einem Einschubende und einer Kavität, die sich von dem Basisabschnitt bis zu dem Einschubende erstreckt. Das Einschubende ist konfiguriert, in eine Kavität einer entsprechenden Steckerbuchse eingesteckt zu werden. Ein Substrat erstreckt sich durch den Basisabschnitt des Rahmens und in das Einschubende und hat eine Vielzahl von Kontaktanschlusspads an einem im Rahmen angeordneten Ende, eine Vielzahl von Leiteranschlusspads am gegenüberliegenden Ende und mindestens einen Massepadkontakt zwischen den Kontaktanschlusspads und den Leiteranschlusspads. Eine erste Vielzahl externer Kontakte ist in einer ersten Öffnung angeordnet und mit einigen der Vielzahl von Kontaktanschlusspads auf dem Substrat verbunden, und eine zweite Vielzahl von Kontakten ist in einer zweiten Öffnung angeordnet und mit einigen der Vielzahl von Kontaktanschlusspads auf dem Substrat verbunden. Eine oder mehrere elektronische Komponenten gekoppelt an das Substrat. Eine erste Umhüllung, die die eine oder die mehreren elektronischen Komponenten abdeckt und von der äußeren Umwelt versiegelt. Eine Metallabschirmung, die mit dem Basisabschnitt des Metallrahmens gekoppelt ist und einen Abschnitt des Substrats und die eine oder die mehreren elektronischen Komponenten umhüllt, wobei die Metallabschirmung einen Fuß aufweist, der im Wesentlichen senkrecht zu dem Substrat angeordnet ist und an dem Massepad mit dem Substrat gekoppelt ist, und eine zweite Umhüllung, die das Massepad und mindestens einen Abschnitt des Fußes bedeckt und vor der äußeren Umwelt versiegelt.

Abstract: A plug connector module (100) including a metal frame (105) with a cavity, a substrate (104) inside the frame. The substrate includes several contact pads on one side located on the top face and bottom face of the substrate. Both set of contacts pads are connected to external contacts (106(1)-106(16)) located inside frame top and bottom openings. On the other side of the substrate are located several conductor pads (110). Between contact and conductor bonding pads the substrate includes ground pads (112). Electronic components (108a, 108b) are coupled to the substrate. A first encapsulant (205) seals the electronic components. A metal shield (210) coupled to the base portion of the metal frame and encasing a portion of the substrate and the one or more electronic components, the metal shield includes a leg (220) perpendicular to the substrate coupled to the ground pad, and a second encapsulant (250) that seals the ground pad and at least a portion of the leg.

Abstract: Embodiments can provide reversible or dual orientation USB plug connectors for mating with standard USB receptacle connectors, e.g., a standard Type A USB receptacle connector. Accordingly, the present invention may be compatible with any current or future electronic device that includes a standard USB receptacle connector. USB plug connectors according to the present invention can have a 180 degree symmetrical, double orientation design, which enables the plug connector to be inserted into a corresponding receptacle connector in either of two intuitive orientations. Some embodiments of the present invention may be used with or require a non-standard USB receptacle connector. Thus, embodiments of the present invention may reduce the potential for USB connector damage and user frustration during the incorrect insertion of a USB plug connector into a corresponding USB receptacle connector of an electronic device.

Abstract translation: 实施例可提供用于与标准USB插座连接器（例如，标准A型USB插座连接器）配合的可逆或双取向USB插头连接器。 因此，本发明可以与包括标准USB插座连接器的任何当前或未来的电子设备兼容。 根据本发明的USB插头连接器可以具有180度对称的双定向设计，其使得插头连接器能够以两个直观方向中的任一个方向插入对应的插座连接器中。 本发明的一些实施例可以用于或需要非标准USB插座连接器。 因此，本发明的实施例可以减少在将USB插头连接器错误地插入电子设备的相应USB插座连接器期间USB连接器损坏和用户挫败的可能性。
