Abstract: A receptacle connector (1) for a mobile telephone or the like comprises a housing (3) of insulating material, a shielding (4), and a plurality of contact terminals (5). Channels (13) extend parallel to the lateral sides (11) between the front and backsides (9, 10) and the contact terminals are made as strip like elements mounted in these channels. At least some of the contact terminals each are provided with two retention parts (14,15) having a width greater than the width of the channels providing a retention force mainly parallel to the upper and lower sides. The contact terminals (5) each are provided with a butt-mount contact end (16) and a tail end (17), wherein the retention part at the tail end has a width greater than the width at the butt-mount contact end.

Abstract: A plug connector comprises an insulating housing, a shielding (44), contacts (39) mounted in the housing, at least one element (55) to latch the plug connector in a receptacle connector, and a button (60) to operate the latch element. A locating peg (51) is to be received in a chamber of the receptacle connector. The housing comprises an inner (37) section, made as a contact block accommodating the contacts and an outer section in the form of interconnected top (49) and bottom (50) covers and including the locating peg(s) and the button.

Abstract: The invention pertains to a connector having a grounding element and a housing of an electrically insulating material. The housing includes at least one contact element comprising a contact end, an intermediate part, and a connection end. The connector also includes an electrically insulating voltage variable medium that is provided between the at least one contact element and the grounding element. The electrically insulating voltage variable medium becomes electrically conducting at a voltage that is substantially higher than the operating voltages of a device for which the connector is intended or of which it is a part. The connector described herein is relatively compact and enables constant ESD suppression.
