Patent number: 7824232Abstract: A connector system includes a first connector part including at least one first cavity formed therein. The first connector part has at least one first contact. The system includes a second connector part including at least one second cavity formed therein. The second connector part is complementary to the first connector part such that when the first and second connector parts mate together. The first and second cavities are at least partially aligned and the first and second contacts are placed in electrical contact with one another. The system also includes a printed circuit board sub-assembly including a printed circuit board, a plurality of spring contacts that are electrically coupled to the printed circuit board. The sub-assembly has a stabilizing element that includes a plurality of vanes with the spring contacts being disposed between the vanes.Type: GrantFiled: January 20, 2009Date of Patent: November 2, 2010Assignee: BTX Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Peter R.

Publication number: 20090035987Abstract: A connector, such as an S-video connector, according to one embodiment includes an internal connector assembly and a housing. The internal connector assembly includes a pin connector that includes a plurality of pin contacts that are surrounded at least in part by a pin housing and a flexible printed circuit board that is electrically connected to the pin contacts. The connector assembly also includes a terminal block that is electrically connected to the pin contacts through the printed circuit board. The terminal block has terminal openings for receiving conductive elements associated with a cable to permit an electrical connection between the cable and the pin contacts. The housing has an inner compartment that receives and holds the internal connector assembly in non-rotatable manner, with the pin housing and pin contacts extending beyond one end of the housing.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 3, 2007Publication date: February 5, 2009Applicant: BTX Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Peter R. Daly, Christopher J. Poulin

Publication number: 20090017675Abstract: In one exemplary embodiment, a miniature stereo jack assembly includes an internal sub-assembly including a printed circuit board, a stereo jack component for receiving a stereo jack, and a terminal block. The stereo jack component is disposed against and in electrical contact with a first surface of the printed circuit board and the terminal block is disposed against and in electrical contact with a second surface of the printed circuit board. The stereo jack assembly also includes a housing that surrounds the internal sub-assembly. The housing has a first portion that has external threads for mating with a fastener that is used to attach the stereo jack assembly to a surface, such as a wall plate, panel, chassis or box.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 12, 2007Publication date: January 15, 2009Applicant: BTX Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Peter R. Daly, Christopher J. Poulin, Gregory Schwartz
