Abstract: An electronic module package including an electronic module configured to receive input signals and process the input signals to provide output signals. The electronic module package also includes an interposer that has a substrate with opposite board and module surfaces. The electronic module is mounted to the module surface. The interposer includes electrical contacts along the module surface that are communicatively coupled to the electronic module through the substrate. The electronic module package also includes a connector receptacle having a receptacle housing coupled to the interposer. The receptacle housing defines a reception space that is located over and permits access to the electrical contacts. The connector receptacle is configured to receive an electrical connector within the reception space to electrically couple the electrical contacts and the electrical connector. The connector receptacle holds the electrical connector therein in a mated position.

Abstract: An electrical connector includes a housing, a contact terminal and a preformed solder body. The housing is configured to be mounted to an exterior surface of a photovoltaic module. The contact terminal is joined to the connector housing and has a connection surface and a fixation opening that extends through the contact terminal. The preformed solder body is applied to the connection surface of the contact terminal and includes a fixation tab. The preformed solder body provides an electrically conductive connection between the contact terminal and a conductive contact extending out of the exterior surface of the photovoltaic module to electrically couple the contact terminal and the photovoltaic module. The fixation tab of the preformed solder body engages the fixation opening of the contact terminal to secure the preformed solder body to the contact terminal.

Abstract: A connector assembly includes a housing, a contact, a support plate, and posts. The housing extends between a mounting side and an opposite side. The mounting side is configured to be mounted to a first side of a photovoltaic module. The contact is held by the housing and is configured to be electrically coupled with the photovoltaic module. The support plate is configured to be mounted to a second side of the photovoltaic module. The posts are coupled with at least one of the housing and the support plate and extend through an opening in the photovoltaic module that extends therethrough and joined with the other of the housing and the support plate. The posts secure the housing to the photovoltaic module.

Abstract: A socket connector assembly includes a socket substrate, terminals, and conductive posts. The socket substrate has a mating side and an opposite mounting side with holes extending through the socket substrate. The terminals are disposed above the mating side of the socket substrate and are configured to engage conductive pads of a mating substrate of an electronic package. The conductive posts are disposed in the holes and are elongated between upper and lower ends. The upper ends are electrically coupled with the terminals and the lower ends are configured to be electrically joined with a circuit board. The posts electrically couple the electronic package with the circuit board by providing conductive pathways through the socket substrate between the mating side and the mounting side of the socket substrate.

Abstract: A modular connector comprises an insulative mother housing defining rows of passageways through opposite sides thereof. A plurality of modules each have contacts extending therefrom for connection to the passageways of the mother housing. Each module defines a reception hole so that all the reception holes of all the modules are in alignment with each other when the modules are connected to the mother housing by the extended contacts thereof. A dowel is adapted to be inserted into the reception holes of at least two adjacent modules thereby connecting the at least two adjacent modules in addition to the connection thereof to the mother housing.

Abstract: A Low Insertion Force Socket Assembly includes a base (2), cavities (24), electrical contacts (4) in the cavities, rails (6)(8) which engage and close the receptacles onto electrical leads (46) of an electronic package (48) and a reciprocating cam (12) integral with a cover (10) and latches (42) and a detent finger (44) and pilot holes (36A)(36B)(36C) for aligning the parts during assembly.

Abstract: A low insertion force connector for DIP leads includes a pair of pusher rails for engaging and closing normally open receptacle contacts. The rails cooperate with a unitary, lever actuated cam. A cover retains the rails and cam stackably assembled to a housing containing the contacts. The cam has serially arranged cam surfaces, guide keys and detents which interengage various assembled parts of the connector.

Abstract: Multi-contact electrical connector comprises a housing having a plurality of side-by-side cavities extending therethrough. Each cavity has a terminal therein which has a wire-in-slot connecting means intermediate its ends and a crimpable portion, adjacent to the rearward end of the cavity, which can be crimped onto a wire. The wire-receiving means and the crimpable means are arranged such that a wire can be inserted into the wire-receiving slot and the crimpable portion can be crimped onto the wire in a single stroke of an inserting and crimping tool.
