  • Patent number: 9160115
    Abstract: An electrical connector plug has resilient contact terminals for electrical connection to an electrical connector socket. The electrical connector plug has an electrically conductive housing, and a dielectric shell and resilient contact terminals are mounted in the electrically conductive housing. The dielectric shell has a base portion and a front edge portion extending from the base portion. Two groups of resilient contact terminals are mounted on the dielectric shell and axially symmetrical to each other in the longitudinal direction, with each of the resilient contact terminals having a flat section and an upwardly protruding contact section. A metallic shield frame surrounds the front edge portion and is electrically connected to the electrically conductive housing, with the metallic shield frame having a front section and two lateral protective sections. The lateral protective sections have a height no less than that of the upwardly protruding contact sections.

  • Patent number: 9153895
    Abstract: An electrical connector plug having resilient contact terminals electrically connects to an electrical connector socket with a casing and two groups of engaging terminals mounted on or in the casing. The electrical connector plug has an electrically conductive housing. A coupling device extends in a longitudinal direction and has a base portion. Two groups of resilient contact terminals are mounted in the coupling device axially symmetrically arranged with each other in the longitudinal direction, each of which has a flat section and an upwardly protruding contact section. A metallic shield frame is electrically connected to and secured to the electrically conductive housing, having a frame section, a front section, and two lateral protective sections. An electrically conductive section extends from the frame section towards the front section for electrical connection to the casing of the electrical connector socket.

  • Patent number: 9124059
    Abstract: A Mini DisplayPort connector receptacle including an insulator, a plurality of contacts and a metal shell surrounding the insulator. The insulator includes a first insulator and a second insulator with a base portion, a positioning portion, and a tongue plate. The tongue plate defines first contact locations on a top side of the tongue plate and second contact locations on a bottom side of the tongue plate. The contacts include upper contacts at the corresponding first contact location and lower contacts at the corresponding second contact location. The connection portions of the lower contacts are held by the base portion and insert-molded in the base portion, and the partial soldering portions of the lower contacts are held by the positioning portion and insert-molded in the positioning portion.

  • Publication number: 20150111433
    Abstract: A receptacle of an electrical connector comprises a metal housing body, a plastic main body positioned in the metal housing body, and flat terminals. The plastic main body incorporates with the metal housing body to form an accommodating space for being plugged by a plug. First and second tongue parts disposed on the plastic main body are respectively close to upper and lower sides of the metal housing body. Each flat terminal comprises a fixing part, a contacting part formed in a flat shape, and a soldering part. The contacting parts are respectively disposed on first and second tongue parts and respectively expose to the accommodating space in downward and upward directions. A tongue of a plastic body of the receptacle, i.e. first and second tongue parts, and the flat terminals are hardly damaged, so as to prevent expensive cost of repairing a damaged receptacle.
