Abstract:
An interconnect system includes a first circuit board (18), first (14) and second (18a) connectors connected to the first circuit board (18), and a transceiver (15) including an optical engine (15a) and arranged to receive and transmit electrical and optical signals through a cable (16), to convert optical signals received from the cable (16) into electrical signals, and to convert electrical signals received from the first connector (14) into optical signals to be transmitted through the cable (16). The transceiver (15) is arranged to mate with the first (14) and second (18a) connectors so that at least some converted electrical signals are transmitted to the first connector (14) and so that at least some electrical signals received from the cable (16) are transmitted to the second connector (18a).
Abstract:
A method for attaching a fusible member (6) to a flexible circuit board (1) includes providing the flexible circuit board (1) including an electrode (3) and a hole (4) near each other, placing the fusible member (6) in the hole (4), and deforming the fusible member (6) to fix the fusible member (6) to the flexible circuit board (1). A flexible circuit board (1) includes an electrode (3), a hole (4), and a fusible member (6) fixed to the hole (4) and arranged to establish an electrical connection with the electrode (3) when the fusible member (6) is fused to the electrode (3).
Abstract:
An electrical connector includes a first row of contacts, a second row of contacts, a first ground plane, a second ground plane, each extending in a first direction. The first row of contacts is located closer to the first ground plane than any other ground plane in the electrical connector. The second row of contacts is located closer to the second ground plane than any other ground plane in the electrical connector. The first row of contacts, the second row of contacts, the first ground plane, and the second ground plane oppose each other such that the first row of contacts, the second row of contacts, the first ground plane, and the second ground plane are arranged with respect to each other in a second direction perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to the first direction.
Abstract:
An interconnect system including a host circuit board; an IC package connected to the host circuit board and including a first connector, an IC circuit board, and an IC die; and a transceiver arranged to mate with the first connector so that at least some electrical signals transmitted to and from the IC die are transmitted only on or through the IC circuit board.
