Patent number: 11837803Abstract: A chiclet for a chiclet connector includes a conductor having a first end and a second end. A housing of the chiclet encloses and defines a housing interior. The conductor extends through the housing interior with the first and second ends of the conductor forming contacts projecting from the housing. The housing forms an electromagnetic shield electrically insulated from the conductor. A support of the chiclet corresponds in shape to the housing interior and is connected to the conductor for fixing the conductor within the housing.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2021Date of Patent: December 5, 2023Assignees: TE Connectivity Nederland BV, TE Connectivity India Private Limited, TE Connectivity Germany GmbHInventors: Marc Reinhardt, Guenther Mumper, Christian Rusch, Bert Bergner, Srinivas Rathod, Rutger Wilhelmus Smink, Jabobus Nicolaas Tuin, Anne Weiss, Samir Aboulkassem, Deeksha Venkadari Yogendra, Christian Mandel, Daniel Volkmann, Gregor Karrasch

Patent number: 11444417Abstract: A first RF connector element mating with a second RF connector element includes a first terminal having a first contact region, a second terminal having a second contact region, and a first electrical insulator element electrically insulating the first terminal and the second terminal. The first electrical insulator element has a first contact support part and a first compensation part. The first contact support part is integrally formed of a first dielectric material and has a first relative dielectric constant. The first compensation part is integrally formed with the first contact support part of a second dielectric material, the second dielectric material having a second relative dielectric constant greater than the first relative dielectric constant. The first compensation part is arranged at a front end region of the first electrical insulator element and at least partly encompasses the first contact region.Type: GrantFiled: August 3, 2020Date of Patent: September 13, 2022Assignees: TE Connectivity Germany GmbH, TE Connectivity Services GmbHInventors: Mohammad Nikfal, Christian Mandel, Chang Hyo Yun, Abiel Kidane

Patent number: 10938081Abstract: A plug connection arrangement for mechanically and electromagnetically coupling a radiation source to a dielectric waveguide and a system for transmitting data by electromagnetic radiation. The plug connection arrangement has a housing which can be mounted on a printed circuit board. The radiation source generates electromagnetic waves. The radiation source is enclosed, in a mounted state, on the printed circuit board, at least in sections, by the housing and the receiving unit for receiving and aligning the dielectric waveguide is connected to the housing. The dielectric waveguide, which can be received by the receiving unit, in the received state, can be electromagnetically coupled to the radiation source.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2018Date of Patent: March 2, 2021Assignee: TE Connectivity Germany GmbHInventors: Christian Rusch, Christian Mandel
