Abstract: An electrical connector includes a first-housing, a second-housing, and a connector-position-assurance (CPA) device. The first-housing has two parallel actuation-ribs extending from an outer-surface of the first-housing. The actuation-ribs are aligned parallel to a longitudinal mating-axis of the electrical connector. The second-housing is configured to mate with the first-housing and includes two opposing lugs projecting from a top-surface of the second-housing. The CPA device is slideably mounted to the second-housing and is moveable from a pre-stage-position to a latched-position. The CPA device includes two parallel latching-arms that engage the lugs. The latching-arms are in a relaxed-state when in the pre-stage-position. The actuation-ribs disengage the latching-arms from the lugs when the first-housing is mated with the second-housing. This enables the CPA device to be moved from the pre-stage-position to the latched-position.

Abstract: An electrical connector for the insertion of a mating connector. The electrical connector includes an insulating body having a base and a tongue extending forward from the base, multiple terminals fixed in the base and extending to the tongue, and a metal shell. The metal shell has two first walls along the upper side and the lower side, two second walls along the left side and the right side, and a limiting surface connected to the first walls and the second walls. When the mating connector is inserted in an insertion space, a first distance exists between each first wall and a shielding shell, a second distance exists between each second wall and the shielding shell, a third distance exists between each limiting surface and the shielding shell, and the third distance is less than the first distance and the second distance.

In an embodiment, the present invention is a communication jack that includes a housing and a front sled assembly having a plurality of plug interface contacts (PICs), the front sled assembly being moveable along a horizontal plane of the communication jack between a first position and a second position, the first position being different from the second position.

Abstract: A clip unit and an edge mount light emitting diode (LED) assembly comprising a clip unit. The clip unit provides a mounting structure for mounting a light source, such as an LED, to an edge of a printed circuit board (PCB). A surface mount LED, for example, can thus be easily mounted to the edge of the PCB so as to project light in a direction normal to the edge surface of the PCB, instead of the typical mounting orientation that allows for the projection of light normal to the primary surface of the PCB. The clip unit includes an anode retention clip and a cathode retention clip which are electrically isolated from one another within an insulative housing portion.

Abstract: A single multi-functional position holder is positioned in a receiving space of a housing to implement multiple functions of: satisfying a limitation on the height of a connector by making contact with an insertion portion and a concentric mounting portion of a connector assembly assembled through a curling process; increasing durability to absorb an internal load attributable to the curling process, by making tight contact with the housing; and preventing shaking of a PCB assembly due to a disturbance by restricting the PCB assembly to hold a PCB, thereby reducing the number of component parts of the connector, the process steps, and the cost. In particular, the multi-functional position holder is fixed in the housing without welding so that it is possible to remove a welding process from an assembling process of the connector.

Abstract: A coaxial-cable-assembly includes a coaxial-cable and a tubular-ferrule. The coaxial-cable includes an outer-jacket and an exposed outer-shield conductor. The tubular-ferrule includes a crimp-zone, a skirt-zone, and a transition-zone therebetween. The tubular-ferrule defines a relief-slot having an open-end, a closed-end, and two parallel-edges that extend from the crimp-zone to the skirt-zone. The crimp-zone is brought into forcible contact with the exposed outer-shield conductor by drawing the two parallel-edges into close proximity, such that a crimp-zone-diameter is reduced to less than a skirt-zone-diameter. As a result, the closed-end of the relief-slot forms an aperture in a junction of the transition-zone and the skirt-zone.
