Patent number: 9466903Abstract: A high speed flexible printed circuit (FPC) connector includes a housing with ground and signal contact terminal pairs arranged in the housing in a staggered manner along a lateral direction. The housing has a cavity for receiving an FPC board therein. Each ground contact terminal has an upper arm positioned adjacent to a top wall of the cavity and a lower arm positioned adjacent to a bottom wall of the cavity. Each signal contact terminal has only a lower arm positioned adjacent to the bottom wall of the cavity. Signal contact terminals with the only lower arm provide the connector with better signal integrity. An actuator is coupled to the housing for fixing the FPC board in the cavity to establish electrical connections. The actuator has recesses corresponding to the positions of the signal pairs to provide a dielectric constant different from that of the other parts of the actuator.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2015Date of Patent: October 11, 2016Assignee: FCI ASIA PTE.

Publication number: 20130059460Abstract: A receptacle connector includes a housing and first and second sets of conductive terminals attached to a respective first and second main surfaces of the housing. Each conductive terminal has a first end, a second end and a contact portion therebetween. The first end is offset from the contact portion along a direction perpendicular to the contact portion. The contact portion is attached to one of the first and second main surfaces by insert-molding. The first end extends through an end surface of the housing. The first ends are aligned in one row parallel to the first and second main surfaces such that the molding process is simplified. In a one type of example receptacle connector, the conductive terminals are strongly and precisely attached to the housing, hence the physical dimension can be ensured, and the mateability with counterpart plug connector as well as manufacturability can be improved.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 6, 2011Publication date: March 7, 2013Applicant: FCIInventor: Naotaka Sasame

Patent number: 6942509Abstract: An electrical connector has an insulative housing with an engagement portion provided with contacts. A shield member is mounted to an exterior of the insulative housing and is connected to a circuit board. Guide posts protrude from a surface of the insulative housing for facilitating engagement of the electrical connector with a mating connector. The guide posts have tips positioned further from the insulative housing than the engagement portion. Conductive members are arranged on the tips of the guide posts. The conductive members facilitate electrostatic discharge with the mating connector and have retention legs connected to the circuit board independently from the shield member.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2003Date of Patent: September 13, 2005Assignee: Tyco Electronics AMP K.K.Inventors: Naotaka Sasame, Shinichi Hashimoto

Patent number: 6923662Abstract: An electrical connector has an insulative housing with a mounting surface that is inclined at a predetermined angle with respect to a plane perpendicular to an engagement direction with another connector. A plurality of contacts is arranged in the insulative housing. Each contact has a tine that extends parallel to the engagement direction for insertion into through-holes of a circuit board. An aligning member is attached to the insulative housing. The aligning member has a plurality of apertures for receiving and aligning the tines and standoffs that reduce bending stress applied to the tines. The standoffs abut the circuit board so that the aligning member inclines at an angle less than the predetermined angle when the insulative housing is mounted on the circuit board to reduce bending stress applied to the tines.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2003Date of Patent: August 2, 2005Assignee: Tyco Electronics AMP K.K.Inventors: Naotaka Sasame, Shinichi Hashimoto
