    Abstract: MULTI-PIN CONNECTOR FOR ADVANCED SIGNALING Receptacle connectors and male plug connectors that can provide support for one or more new high-speed communication standards, such as USB 3.0 and DisplayPort. The contact locations of the connector may be spaced apart in a row, and wherein the first set of contact locations designated for USB 3.0 signals are located along the row before the second set of contact locations designated for DisplayPort signals. Signal contacts for carrying USB 3.0 signals for transmitting may be located next to each other on a substrate, and the signal contacts for carrying USB 3.0 signals for receiving may be located next to each other on a substrate.

    Abstract: REDUCED SIZE MULTI-PIN CONNECTOR Receptacle connectors and male plug connectors having a reduced size in at least one direction can be provided. One example reduces height by not including a center contact tab or tongue, but instead places contacts on an insulator that is adjacent to a bottom portion of the receptacle. Another example may reduce width by reducing contact pitch, and may use a particular shape of contact to achieve god signal quality. Receptacle connectors and male plug connectors can also provide support for one or more new high-speed communication standards, such as USB 3.0 and DisplayPort. Methods can provide one or more standardized connector components to speed connector design and manufacture of new electronic devices such as media players, thus reducing their time to market. 61789680 vi Receptacle Connector LOCATIONS 350 FOR CONTACTS Shell Tongue DisplayPort Male Plug Receptacle Connector 300 Connector USB 3.0 350
