  • Publication number: 20240145961
    Abstract: A junction device for flat flexible cables (FFCs) includes a device housing, a power contact, a signal contact assembly, and a data contact assembly. The power contact defines an input power FFC connection, an output power FFC connection, and a breakout power FFC connection, with the input, output and breakout FFC connections being electrically interconnected. The signal contact assembly defines an input signal FFC connection, an output signal FFC connection, and a breakout signal FFC connection. The signal contact assembly is adapted to output a signal to the breakout signal FFC connection indicative of a signal received at the input signal FFC connection. The data contact assembly includes an input data FFC connection, an output data FFC connection, and a breakout data FFC connection. The data contact assembly is adapted to output a data signal received at the input FFC connection from the output FFC connection and the breakout FFC connection.

  • Patent number: 7708593
    Abstract: An electrical connector includes a housing, a cable, a contact and an encapsulant. The housing extends from a cable exit to an opposite end along a longitudinal axis and from a mounting face to a top face along a vertical axis. The housing includes a cable opening that extends into the cable exit in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis and a window extending into the housing from the top face toward the mounting face in a direction parallel to the vertical axis. The cable extends through the window and into the housing through the cable opening. The contact is held by the housing and is configured to electrically couple the cable with a mating device when the housing face of the housing is mounted to the mating device. The encapsulant is disposed within the window to seal an interface between the cable and the housing. The encapsulant prevents ingress of moisture into the housing through the interface.
