  • Patent number: 8353726
    Abstract: An electrical connector includes an insulated housing defining an uninterrupted tongue portion with opposite first surface and second surface, the first surface defining a rib and a plurality of contacts loaded in the tongue portion. The contacts include first contacts with contacting sections loaded in the first surface at one side of the rib, second contacts with contacting section loaded in the first surface at another side of the rib and third contacts with contacting section loading in the second surface opposite to the rib. Each of the first and third contacts is composed of signal contacts and grounding contacts. Two distinct grounding bars are embedded in the tongue section and touch with front ends of grounding contacts of the first and third contacts respectively to reduce cross talk between signal contact of the first and third contacts.

  • Patent number: 8202127
    Abstract: An electrical connector includes an insulated housing and a plurality of contact loaded in the insulated housing. The insulated housing defines an uninterrupted longitudinal slot extending in a first direction and through a mating face in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction the slot having a first and a second inner side faces facing to each other. The first inner side defines a groove extending through the mating face in the second direction. Each contacts includes a retaining portion retained in the insulated housing, a contacting portion exposing in the slot and a tail portion. The contacting portions defines a mating orientation along which the contacting portions contact with corresponding contacts of a counter electrical connector intended to be inserted in the slot.

  • Patent number: 7744416
    Abstract: A high speed electrical connector assembly (1) comprises a female connector (2) and a male connector (3) assembled together to be electrical connection to a printed circuit board (9). A plurality of differential pairs of signal contact (51) and a plurality pairs of ground contact (53) with the pairs of signal contacts (51) arranged therebetween are secured in the connector assembly (1). Each of the differential pairs of signal contact (51) has a first contact engaging portion (511) which is accessible from the female connector (2), and includes a second contact engaging portion (513), extending away from the first engaging portion (511) and accessible from the male connector (3). A shielding bus (10) is electrically interconnecting to at least one of the ground contact (53), and includes a shroud portion substantially enclosing the median portion of the pair of signal contacts (51).

  • Patent number: 7727028
    Abstract: An electrical connector includes a row of terminals (20) having a pair of differential signal terminals (21) mounted on a mating tongue (11). Each of the signal contact terminals has a rear end (211) on a back outer face of the connector and a free mounting end (213) away from the back outer face. The free mounting ends are located on a first end row and bent from the rear ends and away from each other in opposite transverse directions so as to widen a pitch therebetween to improve impendence for decreasing interference.

  • Patent number: 7611386
    Abstract: An electrical connector (2) comprises an insulative housing including a mating tongue (20) exposed in a mating port (23), and three type contacts. The mating tongue has a front face (200) thereof. The three type contacts include two power contacts (201, 203) being on two opposite side regions of the mating tongue, three signal ground contacts (206) located between said two power contacts, and two pairs of signal contacts (205) each located between the corresponding two adjacent signal ground contacts. One of the two power contacts (201) extends much closer to the front face of the mating tongue than the other (203) of the two power contacts. This arrangement of two different-lengths has the ability to handle the instantaneous inrush current through the former power contact, i.e. the pre-charge power pin.
