    Abstract: Devices and methods for assembling co-planar electrical contacts (20) in a connector (100) are provided herein. In one aspect, an exemplary method of assembly comprises depositing solder in a connector plug enclosure (10), positioning electrical contacts on the solder deposits (22), advancing the hotbar (30) toward the enclosure contacting each of the electrical contacts so as to planarizc a top surface of each of the electrical contacts with the enclosure and melting the solder with the heated hotbar to solder the electrical contacts to the enclosure. In one aspect, an exemplary hotbar device includes a magnet (33) for releasably coupling the electrical contacts to the hotbar. In another aspect, the hotbar includes metallic portions for heating the electrical contacts and insulated ceramic portions (35) for contacting the enclosure. In another aspect, an electrically conductive hotbar includes side portions that extend away from the bottom heating surface (31) facilitating more uniform current flow through the hotbar.

    Abstract: A dual orientation plug connector comprising a body; a connector tab extending away from the body, the tab is covered by a rectangular-tube shaped conductive frame having first and second opposing sides, and third and fourth opposing sides both orthogonal to first and second sides. The first and second side respectively including a first and second openings facing each other; a first plurality of external contacts carried by a substrate in a first contact region formed in the first opening of the frame; and a second plurality of external contacts carried by a substrate in a second contact region formed in the second opening of the frame, wherein each contact in the second plurality of contacts is positioned directly opposite a contact in the first plurality of contacts. Dielectric material separates each of the first and second plurality of contacts from adjacent contacts and from the frame.

    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: A dual orientation connector having a connector tab with first and second major opposing sides and a plurality of electrical contacts carried by the connector tab. The plurality of contacts includes a first set of external contacts formed at the first major side and a second set of external contacts formed at the second major side. Each individual contact in the first plurality of contacts is electrically connected within the tab or body to a corresponding contact in the second plurality of contacts. In some embodiments contacts in the first and second pluralities of contacts that are directly opposite each other are coupled together. In some other embodiments, contacts in the first and second pluralities of contacts that are in a cater cornered relationship with each other are coupled together. The first plurality of contacts are symmetrically spaced with the second plurality of contacts and the connector tab is shaped to have 180 degree symmetry so that it can be inserted and operatively coupled to a corresponding receptacle connector in either of two insertion orientations.
