Abstract: A board to board connector for use in high speed signal transmission applications includes male and female connector components that interengage with each other. Each of the male and female parts has an insulative housing that holds a plurality of individual terminal assemblies in cavities defined by corresponding walls of each connector compenent. The exterior surfaces of the connector components are plated with a metal so as to provide a unitary grounding datum around each of the individual terminal assemblies. Each of the connector components may utilize a center engagement member that runs lengthwise through the connector components, one of the center engagement members having a contact blade formed integrally therewith and the other of the center engagement members including a plurality of spring arms, also integrally formed with the connector component so that the grounding shield portions of the two connectors make contact with each other first before the terminals of the connector make contact.

Abstract: A CONNECTOR ASSEMBLY (500, 700, 800) IS PROVIDED THAT IS SUITABLE FOR MODIFYING THE RESONANT FREQUENCY OF GROUND TERMINALS USED IN CONJUNCTION WITH HIGH DATA RATE SIGNAL TERMINALS. GROUND TERMINALS MAY BE INTERCONNECTED WITH A CONDUCTIVE BRIDGE SO AS TO PROVIDE GROUND TERMINALS WITH A PREDETERMINED MAXIMUM EFFECTIVE ELECTRICAL LENGTH. REDUCING THE EFFECTIVE ELECTRICAL LENGTH OF THE GROUND TERMINAL CAN MOVE THE RESONANCE FREQUENCIES OF THE CONNECTOR OUTSIDE THE OPERATIONAL RANGE OF FREQUENCIES AT WHICH SIGNALS WILL BE TRANSMITTED.

Abstract: A surface mount connector has a dielectric housing with first and second opposing mating faces. The first mating face includes first terminals and the second mating face includes second terminals. The first and second terminals each have a tail portion, a contact portion and a terminal retention portion. The terminal retention portion engages the connector housing, and an opening, or hole, is formed in the retention section of the terminal. This opening is sized to keep sufficient metal remaining to retain the terminal in the housing, yet having sufficient surface area to provide a desired capacitance and/or inductance for tuning the impedance of the terminal to the preselected level, the second terminals each having a second terminal retention section with a central portion removed thereof, the removed central portion being spaced away from the first terminal retention area, while minimizing the surface area, size and shape of the central section for tuning the impedance of the terminal to a preselected range.

Abstract: A connector assembly is provided with opposing and interengageable first and second connector components. Each of the two components has internal cavities that contain terminal assemblies of either plug or receptacle structure and may further include either a plurality of power terminals or differential signal terminals. The terminals have contact portions, tail portions and interconnecting portions that are partially encapsulated by an insulative outer support frames. The shell forms a wafer and two such wafers are combined together to form a terminal assembly. The terminal assemblies are identical in shape, other than for an engagement means that serves to hold two subframes together as a single assembly.

Abstract: A terminal module is provided for use in an electrical connector. The module includes a plurality of conductive terminals arranged in a generally parallel side-by-side array. Each terminal includes a pair of opposite end sections. A pair of holding sections are located respectively adjacent to and inside the end sections. A central section is located between the holding sections. A dielectric plastic housing is overmolded about the holding sections leaving the opposite end sections exposed. The overmolded housing leaves a substantial portion of the central section exposed.

Abstract: AN ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR (14) INCLUDES AN ELONGATED DIELECTRIC HOUSING (16) HAVING AN ELONGATED SLOT (18) DISPOSED GENERALLY ALONG A LONGITUDINAL AXIS (20) OF THE HOUSING FOR RECEIVING, EDGEWISE, A PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD. A PLURALITY OF TERMINALS (28) ARE INSERTED THROUGH A BOTTOM TERMINATING FACE (16B) OF THE HOUSING INTO A PLURALITY OF PASSAGES (22) ALONG AT LEAST ONE SIDE OF THE SLOT. EACH TERMINAL (28) INCLUDES A RETENTION PORTION (36) PRESS-FIT IN A RETENTION SECTION (30) OF A RESPECTIVE PASSAGE. THE RETENTION SECTION INCLUDES INNER SIDE WALLS (30B) AND AN OUTER SIDE WALL (30C) WHICH GUIDES, LOCATES AND SUPPORTS THE RETENTION PORTION (36) AND, THEREBY, THE TERMINAL (28) WITHIN ITS RESPECTIVE PASSAGE (22). THE RETENTION AREA OF THE OUTER SIDE WALL (30C) IS SUBSTANTIALLY GREATER THAN THE RETENTION AREA OF THE INNER SIDE WALLS (30B). (FIG. 6)
