Abstract:
A board-to-board connector assembly is used to electrically connect a first circuit board and a second circuit board and has a receptacle connector and an engaging element assembled together. The receptacle connector includes an insulative housing and a plurality of conductive terminals received in the insulative housing. An engaging groove is defined in the receptacle connector and has the same shape as the engaging element for receiving the engaging element therein. The engaging element forms positioning portions thereon for guiding the receptacle connector to mate with a circuit board accurately and facilitating the terminals to contact electrodes on the circuit board firmly. The engaging element is firmly and accurately retained in the receptacle connector to assure reliable signal transmission between the first circuit board and the second circuit board. Simultaneously the overall height of the board-to-board connector assembly is effectively decreased.
Abstract:
A cable connector assembly (1) includes a connector (10) including an insulating housing (11) and a plurality of terminals (13), a cable assembly (20) including a plurality of wires each having an exposed conductor (21), and a connection mechanism (30) including a base (31) positioning the wires with a first portion (311) and a second portion (312) and a clip (32). The terminals (13) each define an engaging portion (132) and a mating portion (131) and are received in passageways (110) defined in the insulating housing (11) of the connector (10). The first portion (311) has a plurality of spacers (3111) and protrusions (3112) thereon to pre-position the wires of the cable assembly (20). The second portion (312) has a plurality of slots (3121) for receiving the engaging portions (132) to engage with the exposed conductors (21) therein. The clip (32) has a plurality of protruding ends (321) to clamp the cable assembly on the base (31) firmly.
Abstract:
An electrical connector comprises an elongate insulative housing, a number of terminals received in the housing, and a metallic shield surrounding a front end of the housing. The housing has a body portion consisting of a top wall, a bottom wall, a front wall, a pair of sidewalls and a receiving cavity, and a mating board. A gap separates each sidewall from the front wall and downwardly extends through the housing. Each sidewall defines a channel communicating with the gap, a ditch in an inner side of the channel and a notch in a rear edge of an outer side thereof. The shield comprises a surrounding portion with a pair of feet supporting the shield, a pair of fingers projecting rearwardly from the surrounding portion, and a pair of plates outwardly bending from the fingers. Each finger defines a bending portion, an aperture being defined in the bending portion, and a tab at a rearward side of the bending portion interferentially mating with an interior side of the sidewall. The bending portions extend beyond the gaps and the channels and are then bent outwardly into the notches for securing the shield to the housing.
Abstract:
A board-to-board connector assembly (1) is for electrically interconnecting two circuit substrates. The connector assembly includes a first electrical connector (2) having a first housing (20), and a second electrical connector (4) having a second housing (40). The first housing includes a pair of first end walls (24) and an island (26). The second housing includes a pair of second end walls (49), and a cavity for receiving the island of the first connector therein. Each second end wall defines an opening (492) in a portion thereof distal from a main body of the second housing. Each second end wall also defines a recess (494) adjoining an outer main face thereof. When the first and second connectors are connected or disconnected at a slight angle relative to each other, interference therebetween can be eliminated.
Abstract:
A modular jack connector assembly (1) comprises an insulative housing (2) having two receiving spaces (20, 21) arranged side byside, a plurality of terminals (5) received in the receiving spaces, an terminal block (6) with a plurality of wires (7) interwoven therearound, a LED (light emitting diode) device (40) assembled on the housing, and a shield (3) enclosing the housing. The terminal block comprises a main body (60) and two inserts (63). The main body comprises a first part (601) and a second part (602), each part defining a plurality of through holes (61, 640) adapted to accept the wires therethrough and a receiving channel (641) adapted to receive an insert whereby the inserts fix the wires to the terminal block. Each wire electrically contacts with a corresponding terminal in a slot (65) defined in the main body.
Abstract:
A flexible printed circuit (FPC) connector includes an insulating housing (10) receiving contact elements (20) therein, and a slider (40) insertably mounted to the housing. A pair of solder pads (30) are mounted on opposite sides of the housing. The slider forms a pair of latching arms (404) and a pair of latching flukes (405) projecting inwardly from front ends of the latching arms. Each solder pad defines a gap (307) between a first and a second mounting walls (304, 305). A projection (306) is formed on an outer surface of each first mounting wall. When the slider is in a first position, each latching fluke extends into the gap and locks with an edge of the second mounting wall of a corresponding solder pad. When the slider is in a second position, each fluke locks with the projection of the first mounting wall of the corresponding solder pad.
Abstract:
An electrical connector assembly comprises a first connector, a pair of second connectors, a circuit board and a bracket. The first connector includes a plurality of terminals having mounting tails. A pair of indicating devices mounted to the first connector each has conductive wires extending therefrom. Circuit traces are longitudinally arranged on the circuit board. First ends of the circuit traces are connected to the mounting tails while second ends of the circuit traces are connected to an intermediate device connected to a mother board. The circuit traces are arranged so that cross talk therebetween can be effectively reduced.
