The first electrical connector is configured with a Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (SATA) interface and has a number of first terminals (11) conductively received in first through-holes (31) of the printed circuit board. The second electrical connector is configured as a conventional power connector and has a number of second terminals (21) conductively received in second through-holes (30) of the printed circuit board. The power trace is transmitted from the first connector to the second connector via the printed circuit board, in which circuits are defined between predetermined first through-holes and the second through-holes.

The cable clamp defines at least one through hole (266) extending in a second direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction of the housing. A fastening element (40) is inserted into the through holes of the cable clamps along the second direction and the cable clamps of the circuit modules are stringed by the fastening element.
Abstract:
A high speed cable connector (1) includes a cover (10), a base (80) and a cable assembly (30) mounted between the cover and the base. The cable assembly includes a cable (42) consisting of a plurality of lines (44). Each line has a signal pair (47, 48) and a ground conductor (492). The signal pair includes a pair of upper and lower signal conductors (472, 482). The ground conductors are soldered to shielding plates (50). The shielding plates are soldered to top and bottom faces of a rear end of a printed circuit board (PCB) (62). The upper and lower signal conductors of each signal pair are soldered to the top and bottom faces of the rear end of the PCB, respectively, and located between two neighboring shielding plates, whereby cross-talk and interference between two neighboring signal pairs can be effectively suppressed and reduced. The PCB has a front end electrically connecting with contacts (662) for electrically engaging with a complementary connector. The cable connector further has latches (88) for latching with the complementary connector, and a pull tab (82) for releasing the latching when the pull tab is pulled.
Abstract:
A coin battery connector includes an insluative housing having a flat base and two pairs of walls extending from the flat base, defining a cavity therebetween for receiving a coin battery. Positive and negative terminals are mounted to the housing for respectively engaging positive and negative electrodes of the battery. The positive terminal includes a base secured to the housing and a contact panel extending from the base for engaging the positive electrode of the battery. Two retention arms extends from the contact panel and have a major surface inclined with respect to an insertion direction of the battery for guiding and facilitating insertion of the battery into the housing. The retention arms have downward directed free ends for engaging and retaining the battery in the housing. A spring tab is formed on the contact panel for biasing the battery against the downward directed ends of the retention arms. The negative terminal has a bifurcate configuration having two spaced, longitudinally extending spring arms project upward from a bottom of the housing in an inclined direction into the housing. Each spring arm has a contact for engaging with the negative electrode of the battery. The contacts of the spring arms of the negative terminal are offset with respect to each other in the longitudinal direction and also in a transverse direction to ensure more reliable engagement of the negative terminal with the battery.
Abstract:
An electrical connector (1) comprises an upper housing (2), a bottom housing (3) and a terminal module (4). The upper housing and the bottom housing together define a space and a mating port (20) positioned near the space. The terminal module has a base (40), a tongue (41) extending in the mating port from the base in a mating direction, and a plurality of signal terminals (7, 8) and grounding terminals (5, 6) therein. The signal terminals are disposed opposite sides of the tongue in pairs. A square hole (418) is formed in the tongue and aligned with every two opposite signal terminals.
Abstract:
An electrical connector (1) includes a base (10) and a cover (20) assembled together. The base and cover each define a pair of channels (121, 221). A pull tab (80) has an operation portion (81) and a pair of arms (82) extending from the operation portion. The pair of arms are received in the channels with the operation portion located outside of the base and cover. Each arm has a latch releasing portion (83) at a free end thereof. A pair of metal springs (90) is assembled to inner sides of the arms. Each metal spring abuts against a rear portion of the base. After the pull tab is pulled rearwards to cause the metal springs deformed, the complementary connector is released, the metal spring resumes to an original position thereby push the pull tab to return back to an original position.
