Patent number: 10305209Abstract: An electrical connector comprises a housing, a plurality of contacts arranged in the housing, an actuator mounted on the housing, capable of rotating with reference to the housing and a pair of fixing tabs positioned in the vicinity of two ends of the actuator. Each fixing tab has a lock portion for engaging with a flexible printed circuited connected to the electrical connector and a spring portion connected to the lock portion. The fixing tab is engaged with the actuator so that rotation of the actuator from an original position to a release position causes the lock portion of the fixing tab to disengage with the flexible printed circuit connected to the electrical connector and the actuator resumes from the release position to the original position under a resilient force exerted thereon by the spring portion of the fixing tab.Type: GrantFiled: February 24, 2017Date of Patent: May 28, 2019Assignee: Amphenol FCI Asia Pte LtdInventor: Takahisa Ishishita

Patent number: 9960518Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide high performance and reliable electrical cable connectors and connector assembly. An electrical cable connector according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a housing (110) and terminals (140) disposed in compartments (111) of the housing (110). The housing (110) has a mating face (101) for connecting to a counterpart connector, and each compartment (111) has a mating end (111a) adjacent to the mating face (101) and an entrance (111b) opposite to the mating end (111a). Each terminal (140) is disposed in one of the compartments (111) by being inserted into the compartment (111) from the entrance (111b). A cover (120) is assembled to the housing (110) to block the entrance (111b) of each compartment (111), such that removal of the terminals (140) from the housing (110) through the entrance (111b) is prevented. The cover (120) has openings (126, 128) formed thereon to allow electrical cables (130) to pass through to connect to the terminals (140).Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2014Date of Patent: May 1, 2018Assignee: Amphenol FCI Asia Pte.
