  • Patent number: 11462844
    Abstract: An electrical connector includes a housing, a plurality of contacts arranged in the housing, an actuator mounted to the housing and configured to move relative to the housing, and a locking terminal mounted to the housing, the locking terminal comprising a locking arm extending through an interior portion of the actuator and into a cavity within the housing, the cavity having an upper surface and a lower surface. Movement of the actuator relative to the housing may cause the interior portion of the actuator to push against at least part of the locking arm and rotate the at least part of the locking arm. When the actuator is in a first position, the locking arm may contact a surface of the cavity within the housing, which may inhibit the actuator from rotating in a first direction.

  • Patent number: 11374358
    Abstract: A low profile wire to board connector with features that enable a height of 1 mm or less, yet sufficient robustness to preclude unintentional separation of mated connectors. A board connector, with a mounting interface configured for surface mount soldering to a PCB, may include a recess for receiving a complementary connector terminating multiple wires. The board connector may have blade-shaped terminals, which may be soldered to the PCB at two ends, with an intermediate portion engaging a portion of the board connector housing, so as to secure the housing to the PCB. The complementary connector may be inserted at an acute angle with the mounting interface, engaging a front portion of the mating connector to a front portion of the board connector. The rear of the complementary connector may then be rotated into the recess and secured near the rear.

  • Patent number: 10566753
    Abstract: An electrical connector assembly including a first connector with header contact blade (s) and a second connector with receptacle contact blade (s), The connectors are pivotable with respect to each other. The second connector includes a receptacle housing with an entrance for insertion of a header contact blade between a contact surface of the receptacle contact blade and an opposite surface. The entrance allows insertion in an angular range of mating directions within a plane perpendicular to the main pivoting axis. The contact surface of the receptacle contact blade and the opposite surface converge towards the main pivoting axis over said angular range. The receptacle contact blade has a free peripheral portion at the entrance of the receptacle housing, which is resiliently movable with respect to the receptacle housing.

  • Patent number: 10530082
    Abstract: A circuit board connector comprises a housing, at least one signal contact disposed in the housing, and a pair of locking arms attached to the housing. The housing has a slot formed therein, for receiving a circuit board. Each locking arm has a latch movably disposed in the slot. The pair of locking arms are resiliently deformable relative to the housing between a lock position at which the latch is positioned to block the slot, to lock a circuit board to the connect, and an unlock position at which the latch is positioned to form a clearance in the slot, to allow disconnection of the circuit board from the connector.
