Abstract: The invention relates to a solderable contact formed by a substantially U-shaped contact part consisting of a base plate with two legs that are joined to the base plate. A spring arm which is arranged on one leg extends in the direction of the leg opposite said leg. The opposite leg has two lateral wings which are form-fittingly connected to the leg by means of connecting sections.

Abstract: The cable assembly may include a plug connector, a cable, and a connector. The plug connector may include a housing and a board assembly. The board assembly may include a printed circuit board. The edge of the printed circuit board may be enclosed with a material. The material may be an overmolded plastic or a coating of a material. In order to reduce the crosstalk in the areas where the cable shield is removed, a shielding assembly may be used. The shielding assembly may provide 360 degrees of shielding for the wire pair at the location where the cable shield is removed. The printed circuit board may have a trace layer, a core layer, and a ground plane layer. The ground plane layer may have a portion which is a solid layer and another portion which is a non-solid layer.

Abstract: Provided is an electrical connector having first and second surfaces and configured to establish electrical communication between two or more electrical devices. The electrical connector includes an insulative housing and a resilient, conductive contact retained in an aperture disposed from the first surface to the second surface. To contact the electrical devices, the contact includes a center portion from which extends two diverging, cantilevered spring arms that project beyond either surface of the electrical connector. To shorten the path that current must travel through the contact, one spring arm terminates in a bellows leg that extends proximate to the second spring arm. When placed between the electrical devices, the spring arms are deflected together causing the bellows leg to press against the second spring arm. For retaining the contact within the aperture, the contact also includes retention members extending from the center portion that engage the insulative housing.

Abstract: The electrical connector may include an insulative housing and a support member. The housing may include a first surface, a second surface, a first side, and at least one aperture disposed from the first surface to the second surface. The support member may be mounted to the first side to provide rigidity to the insulative housing. The support member may include a mounting latch to attach the support member to the housing. The support member may also include an anchor tab which may be soldered to a component, such as, a printed circuit board.

Abstract: The electrical contact may include a center portion, a first spring arm and a second spring arm. The center portion may include a retention member, The second spring arm may include a looped end.
