  • Patent number: 8100716
    Abstract: Electrical connector including a sealing mat made of a deformable material body having a thick portion and a thin portion having: an upper face a lower face parallel to the upper face, hollow passageways extending along a longitudinal axis from the upper face to the lower face, a housing including a receiving portion, a grid including a compression portion, the sealing mat being compressed between the receiving and compression portions.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 13, 2007
    Date of Patent: January 24, 2012
    Assignee: FCI Automotive Holding

  • Patent number: 6896420
    Abstract: To resolve the problems of the manufacturing costs of an optoelectronic connector, an optoelectronic coupling integrated circuit chip (4) is mounted directly (12) into a package (1) of the connector. This package has an internal shielding metallization and metallizations (11) connected by microconnection techniques to pads (10) of the integrated circuit. The integrated circuit has laser diodes (8) on its surface also connected (13) to the pads (14) of this integrated circuit. These laser diodes are spaced out with respect to one another by a distance corresponding to a distance (21) between the optical fiber terminations (17, 20) in a standardized optical connector (16). The number of elements of the connector is reduced whereas, at the same time, its efficiency in terms of electrical consumption and in terms of transmission quality of a signal is improved.
