Abstract: A circuit card connector (20) utilizes flexible circuitry (64) and a card-engagement assembly (50) which applies a normal force to the contact pads (34) of the circuit card (30). The connector includes two opposing connector end portions (40) and a card-engagement assembly (50) extending therebetween, the card-engagement assembly (50) including two opposing spring members (53) which are seated upon a pair of fulcrums. The spring members (53) are spaced apart from each other on opposite sides of a centerline of a card-receiving slot (80) of the connector (20). The spring members (53) have lower leg portions (55) and upper contact arm portions (57). The leg portions (55) of the spring members (153) project into the card-receiving slot (80) such that an insertion edge (36) of the circuit card (30) will impinge thereupon and cause them to spread apart, which in turn, will cause the contact arm portions (57) of the spring members (53) to rotate around their associated fulcrums so that the contact arm portions (57) will contact and exert a normal force upon contact pads (34) located on opposing sides of the circuit card (30) near the circuit card insertion edge (36).

Abstract: A termination structure for mating a cable connector to a circuit board has a ground terminal and two signal terminals arranged in triangular pattern through the connector in order to reduce the impedance through the connector. The width of the ground terminal increases along its extent with respect to the signal terminals. This increase occurs along either a transition or contact portion of the ground terminal.

Abstract: A shielded electrical connector assembly which includes an insulating housing (12a, 12b) having a front mating end and a rear conductor receiving end. A stamped and formed metal shield (14a, 14b) surrounds at least the rear conductor receiving end of the insulating housing. The shield is formed by a pair of interengaging shield halves (14a, 14b). Each shield half has a semicylindrical portion (84) projecting from the rear end thereof and combining with the other shield half to form a cable crimping barrel. The barrel is formed by metal of each shield half being folded rearwardly from a front end (90) thereof, through an opening (91) in the rear end thereof, and thereby being integral with the remainder of the respective shield half. The insulating housing is formed by two interengaging housing halves (12a, 12b) defining a conductor receiving opening at the rear conductor receiving end of the housing. Interengaging cantilevered support beams (66a, 66b) are provided on the housing halves on opposite sides of the opening to provide lateral support for a cable and interengaging support for the housing halves themselves.

Abstract: A determination structure for mating a cable connector to a circuit board includes a plurality of associated sets of terminals, each terminal set including a pair of differential signal terminals and a ground reference terminal. Each associated set of terminals is arranged in triangular pattern through the connector in order to reduce the impedance through the connector, and adjacent associated terminal sets are inverted so that the ground reference terminals of alternating associated terminal sets are located along one row of the connector along with signal terminals of intervening terminal sets, while the ground refence terminals of intervening terminal sets are located along a second row of the connector, along with the signal terminals of alternating associated terminal sets. This inverted arrangements increases the density of the connector.
