  • Patent number: 5588878
    Abstract: An electrical receptacle connector assembly (4) for application to a printed circuit board consists of an insulating housing (6) and spring contacts (8) received in cavities (9) in the housing. The cavities are T-shaped having a portion that is substantially rectangular, constant cross section from a contact receiving face (12) of the housing (6) up to a position proximate to a mating face (10) of the housing and a contact retention slot (15) along one side thereof. Each spring contact (8) consists of a forward leaf contact spring (32), an intermediate retention portion (33) with retention ears (48), and a rearward contact tail (34) for soldering to a conductor on the circuit board.

  • Patent number: 4964805
    Abstract: A coaxial electrical connector for printed circuit boards comprises an electrically conductive outer body (2) and (5) adapted to rest upon the surface of a printed circuit board, and having electrically conductive ground legs (14, 15, 16, and 17) supported by the body, the ground legs being a plurality of downwardly extending legs adapted to extend through apertures in the printed circuit board, to be electrically connected to conductive paths on the board; a center contact extending from within the body and having a first contact portion (33) which is adapted to extend through an aperture in the printed circuit board to be electrically connected to the conductive path on the board, and a second contact portion (32) which is adapted to mate with the center contact of a complimentary coaxial connector; and a dielectric insulating body (4) substantially surrounding the second contact portion (32).
