Abstract: A connector includes a housing (10) defining a mating opening (11) for receiving a complementary connector. A pair of increased standoffs (20, 40) are form on the bottom surface (22) wherein each defines a cavity or slot (26) for receiving a screw nut (29) therein. A retention hole (27) extends from the bottom surface (22) of the housing (10) into the cavity (26) so that a screw (61) can extend through a screw hole (62) in the PC board (60) on which the connector is seated, and the retention hole (27) into the cavity (26) to attach to the nut (29). Therefore, the connector can be fastened to the PC board (60) for strongly and efficiently resisting the bending movement resulting from the insertion/withdrawal force when mating with a complementary connector.

Abstract: A bracket (10) includes a pair of side stands (12) spaced away from but interconnected with each other by respectively a supporting bar (14) formed on the front upper portions (17) thereof for supportably mounting a connector (22) thereon and/or a spacer bar (16) formed on the rear lower portions (19) thereof for aligning contact tails (30) of the connector (22). Each side stand (12) includes its own boardlock (48) for directly mounting the bracket (10) onto the mother board (100). An L-shaped partition bar (42) is connected between the supporting bar (14) and the spacer bar (16) for separating the space under the supporting bar (14) to smaller ones for accommodating plural less sized connectors (66) or components therein.

Abstract: A short-body miniature DIN connector consists of a dielectric body defining an inverted T-shaped locking slot, a horizontal and vertical ridge on a right and left face. A number of contacts each has a first fitting portion having an interference fit with the body defining a corresponding contact passage extending through the body, and a second fitting portion having an interference fit with the body defining a corresponding locating groove located at a bottom of a rear face of the body. A shielding shell covers the body and has an upper wall defining an inverted-T shaped locking tab bent into the locking slot to have an interference fit with the body and two flaps extending downwards from two sides thereof. The shielding shell further has a right and left wall each defining a vertical and horizontal projection engaging the horizontal and vertical ridges, and an upper fin engaging with a corresponding flap, whereby a rebound of the right and left walls to move away from the dielectric body can be prevented.
