A resilient switch terminal has a second fixing slice fastened in the second terminal groove, a second contacting end contacting the first contacting end and projected into the socket through the first connecting passage and an opening opened in the second fixing slice for receiving the second contacting end when the second contacting end is biased by the plug to be disconnected from the first contacting end.

Abstract: Provided is an audio jack, including an insulating housing, a plurality of contacts, a waterproof covering body and a retaining shell. The insulating housing disposes an inserting hole and a plurality of contact-receiving grooves. The contacts are separately inserted into the contact-receiving grooves. The waterproof covering body encompasses the insulating housing and is made of elastic material. The waterproof covering body disposes a ring-shaped protruding edge extending out of an end surface of the insulating housing. The retaining shell is mounted on the outside of the waterproof covering body and disposes a plurality of hook portions. The audio jack of the present invention can make the hook portions tightly hook the circuit board and make the protruding edge be tightly pressed on one surface of the circuit board, so that no gap exists between the audio jack and the circuit board and the waterproof function can be obtained.

Abstract: An electrical connector includes an insulating body having a mouth and fastening passages connected with the mouth, first terminals disposed in the fastening passages with soldering tails stretching into the mouth and abutting against the bottom side of the mouth, and a lid mounted in the mouth. The lid has a restraining board abutting against a front side of the mouth to seal up the fastening passages for stopping solder flowing forward along the fastening passages, and a plurality of separating arms protruding rearward from a bottom of the restraining board and spaced from one another along a length direction of the restraining board to abut against the bottom side of the mouth. The soldering tails are respectively restrained between two adjacent separating arms and separated by the separating arms to make easier for being soldered with cables and avoid a short circuit among the soldering tails.

Abstract: Phase shifting allows generating very narrow features in a printed features layer. Thus, forming a fabrication layout for a physical design layout having critical features typically includes providing a layout for shifters. Specifically, pairs of shifters can be placed to define critical features, wherein the pairs of shifters conform to predetermined design rules. After placement, phase information for the shifters associated with the set of critical features can be assigned. Complex designs can lead to phase-shift conflicts among shifters in the fabrication layout. An irresolvable conflict can be passed to the design process earlier than in a conventional processes, thereby saving valuable time in the fabrication process for printed circuits.
