  • Patent number: 10630016
    Abstract: A connector housing assembly having an anti-rotational locking structure for withstanding the cantilevered forces of the cable applied to a dress cover is provided. The connector housing assembly includes a connector housing and a dress cover. The anti-rotational locking structure includes a first planar edge and a second planar edge. The first planar edge is disposed above the second planar edge. The first planar edge is disposed on a side wall of the connector housing. The second planar edge is disposed on a side wall of the dress cover, wherein the second planar edge is configured to slide underneath the first planar edge so as to overcome a cantilevered force applied to the dress cover from the cable. The connector assembly may be further configured to an inadvertent locking condition.

  • Patent number: 8460024
    Abstract: A contact assembly includes a contact organizer having a central axis. A plurality contacts are secured to the contact organizer. The contacts are arranged as differential pairs. The contacts have mating segments and termination segments extending from the mating segments. The mating segments extend along the central axis. The termination segments are configured to terminate to corresponding wires. The mating segments of each differential pair of contacts are radially offset from the central axis of the contact organizer. Wire holders are coupled to the contact organizer. The wire holders have openings extending therethrough and are configured to receive wires. The wire holders are configured to terminate the wires to the termination segments of the contacts when the wire holders are coupled to the contact organizer.

  • Patent number: 7806714
    Abstract: A connector assembly configured to engage a mating connector. The connector assembly includes a plug body that has loading and mating ends and a central axis extending therebetween. The mating end is configured to be inserted into a cavity of the mating connector to establish at least one of communicative and power connections. The plug body has an outer surface that surrounds and faces away from the central axis. The connector assembly also includes a ring that is slidably mounted over the plug body. The ring is configured to slide along the outer surface of the plug body in an axial direction between withdrawn and locked positions. The connector assembly also includes a sleeve member that is slidably mounted over the plug body and the ring. The sleeve member includes a plurality of fingers that extend toward the mating end and are biased toward the outer surface of the plug body. The ring is configured to engage the fingers and the fingers are configured to flex away and engage the mating connector.
