Abstract:
Un connecteur à effort nul (16) comprend une paire de mâchoires de serrage (50A, 50B) faisant ressort et sur chacune desquelles est fixé un circuit imprimé souple (12A, 12B). Les mâchoires de serrage sont montées l'une en face de l'autre de façon qu'une partie de chaque mâchoire adjacente à sa partie arrière définit un canal (98) par lequel passent les circuits intégrés souples. Chaque circuit intégré souple (12A, 12B) est fixé à une mâchoire de serrage faisant ressort au niveau d'une de ses régions ne portant pas de traçage (14A, 14B). Un actionneur (106A) monté dans des parties concaves (99A, 99B) de chaque mâchoire sert à ouvrir la mâchoire et à mettre en coïncidence les traçages conducteurs des circuits souples avec les traçages conducteurs (C) d'un substrat (B). Une action de frottement entre les traçages est produite par l'entrée en contact d'une surface de butée (28A, 28B, 30A, 30B) d'une pièce fixe et d'une surface jouant le rôle de came (124A, 124B) portée par le connecteur. Une action de centrage destinée à mettre les traçages en coïncidence est produite simultanément.
Abstract:
Adapter, comprising a housing preferably made of plastic, which housing contains at least one carrier (3) provided with at least electrical conductive pathways, which carrier is made of a flexible material, for example Kapton, and which conductive pathways on the carrier are electrically connected to at least two terminals (1, 2) of the adapter, wherein the flexible carrier is provided with electronic components (6) on at least one side.
Abstract:
An electrical connector (12) has an insulating housing (14) with contact terminals (24) which extend therethrough. The contact terminals (24) are provided to electrically connect a mother board to a daughter board. A board-receiving opening (22) is provided in the housing (14) for reception of the daughter board therein. A pair of latch members (38) are provided on the housing (14) for latching the daughter board to take a predetermined posture with respect to the mother board. A pair of restricting metal plates (54) are mounted on the housing (14) for restricting the latch members (38) from being flexed in a direction to move the paired latch members (38) away from each other. A spring (66) is provided in the board-receiving opening (22) for enabling a spring force to be applied to the daughter board in a direction to urge the daughter board into the predetermined posture against a push force by the daughter board received in the board-receiving opening (22).
Abstract:
An electrical terminal pin (104) for use in interconnecting electrical leads, plated through holes in printed circuit boards and/or connector contacts has a terminal pin tip (102) on an insertion end (103), which has a conductive core (108) and a conductive outer layer (110). A non-plated flat end (116) of the core (108) has one or more curved sides (112) plated with the layer (110) and at least one edge (118).
Abstract:
This invention relates to electrical connectors with a ground structure for impedance and cross talk control between signal carrying conductors and, in particular, where the connector is a angled or right angle receptacle.
Abstract:
An insulation displacement contact for insulation displacement contacting of an insulated electrical conductor disposed in a cable. Each contact comprises two flat sheet parts abutting against each other, obtained by folding over a flat blank of metal and provided with projecting tongues bounding an aperture for receiving the cable and displacing the insulation thereof. The ends of the tongues lying away from the aperture are folded over essentially at right angles to the plane of the flat sheet parts, in order to form an H-shape.
Abstract:
A contact element having a cutting section for insulation displacement connection of an insulated electrical conductor. The contact element being folded from a flat sheet of electrical conducting material, having a generally rectangular part which bears a lip projecting from one of its sides provided with a cutting slit in the end face and an angular piece having a part connected to said rectangular part and extending essentially parallel to said lip, and having a part which is at right angles thereto and faces away from said lip. The last mentioned part being provided with a further cutting slit in the end face. By appropriate folding of said flat sheet, a contact element being provided having a cutting section for side-piercing of an electrical conductor
Abstract:
A connector assembly (1,45;2) comprising a plug-in connector (1,45) and a socket connector (2). The plug-in connector (1,45) is provided with a lever-type locking element (5;15;25;40) having two free ends. At one free end an outwardly projecting pawl-type latching element (8;18;28;41) is disposed, while the other free end is designed as a gripping end (5′;15′;25′;40′). The socket connector (2) is provided with a slot-type opening or recess (9), so that when the plug-in connector (1,45) is pushed into and mates with the socket connector (2), the latching element (8;18;28;41) engages the slot-type opening or recess (9), from the inside (2′) of the socket connector (2), thereby latching the connectors (1,45;2). The lever-type locking element (5;15;25;40) is provided with two pivot points (6,7;16,17;26,27;42,44) so that by exerting a gripping force on the gripping end (5′;15′;25′;40′) of the locking element (5;15;25;40) towards the housing of the plug-in connector (1,45), the connectors (1,45;2) can be disconnected.
Abstract:
A connector assembly comprising a female and a male connector part. One coding element is attached to each connector part. The coding element provides for a code face having at least one recess. The code faces of male and female connector parts allocated to each other are complementary in shape. When connector parts allocated to each other are plugged into each other the faces of the respective coding elements engage with each other. Only such a limited number of all possible code face shapes is used that unambiguous code face sets are obtained.
