  • Publication number: 20110103752
    Abstract: An optical connector (100) defining a receiving space (101) includes an insulative housing (1), a plurality of contacts (2) and an optical fiber module (3) retained in the insulative housing (1). The insulative housing (1) has a base (12) and a tongue (13) extending forwardly from the base (12). The base (12) has a front wall (121) and a cavity (125) extending therethrough. The optical fiber module (3) is received in the cavity (125) and has at least a position post (32) extending forwardly beyond the front wall (121). A protecting mechanism (126) extends into the receiving space (101). The protecting mechanism (126) has a front end (1260) arranged at front of the position post (32) to make the receiving space (101) having a first insertion length (X) and a second insertion length (Y). The second insertion length (Y) is larger than the first insertion length (X).

  • Publication number: 20100226612
    Abstract: An optical receptacle (100) includes an insulative housing (1), a pair of power contacts (2) and an optical fiber component (3) retained in the insulative housing (1). The insulative housing (1) have a body portion (11), a tongue portion (12) extending forwardly from the body portion (11), a pair of passageways (123) extending through insulative housing (1), and a receiving cavity (114) below the passageways (123). The body portion (11) has a pair of opposed front face (110) and rear face (111), and a pair of opposed upper face (112) and lower face (113). Each power contacts (2) has a contacting portion (21), a soldering portion (23) and a retaining portion (22) connecting with the contacting portion (21) and the soldering portion (23. The optical fiber component (3) is retained in the receiving cavity (114) and being exposed to exterior through the front face (110).

  • Publication number: 20080305680
    Abstract: A connector assembly includes a main substrate (20) disposed in a substantially vertical orientation within a connector housing (10). Four conductor-holding halves (301, 303, 401, 403), laterally and longitudinally aligned with each other, are mounted onto opposite front and rear faces of the main substrate for forming a complete upper connector, and a complete lower connector. This arrangement of the upper and lower ports shares a common main substrate, and is optimal from space usage due to having full advantage of opposed face areas defined by the main substrate.

  • Publication number: 20070040645
    Abstract: A component having a core, a first multi-wire bundle having primary and secondary windings wound about the core and a second multi-wire bundle having primary and secondary windings wound about the same core. In one form, the first and second bundles are wound in parallel with one another in a bifilar manner about the core. The method of winding the component allows the component to handle high current, high frequency data applications. An isolation transformer and filter circuit are also shown using the transformer and/or method of winding same.
