Abstract: According to an embodiment, an electronic device includes: a housing including a first face facing a first direction, a second face on an opposite side of the first face, and a third face adjacent to the first and second faces; a connector protruding from the third face; and a first cover connected to the housing, including a fourth face, and being pivotable between a first position where the fourth face faces the first direction and a second position where the fourth face faces the first face. The first cover includes a first stopper that, when the first cover pivots from the first position to the second position, contacts the connector and is elastically deformable in a direction that is a pivoting axial direction of the first cover and is a separating direction from the connector.
Abstract: Integrated signal pair elements are disclosed that can be inserted into and removed from a backplane connector housing as a single piece. Each element includes an insulative frame that supports a pair of conductive terminals in a spaced-apart arrangement. The frame is attached to a ground shield that provides a ground plane that extends around three sides of the signal pair. Cable wires can be terminated to tail portions of the signal pair and an insulative material is molded over the cable wire termination area to form an integrated signal pair element. The individual signal pair elements may also be commoned together in a linear array of signal pair elements by a commoning member that contacts the ground shields of the array of signal pair elements.
