Patent number: 11201427Abstract: A socket contact includes a main body extending along a longitudinal axis between a mating end and a terminating end of the socket contact. The main body has a first side and a second side. The main body has a front and a rear extending between the first side and the second side. The socket contact includes a contact tail at the terminating end configured to be terminated to a circuit board. The socket contact includes a mating socket at the mating end. The mating socket includes a first beam and a second beam opposite the first beam. The mating socket includes a third beam longitudinally offset from the first beam and longitudinally offset from the second beam.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 2020Date of Patent: December 14, 2021Assignee: TE CONNECTIVITY SERVICES GmbHInventors: Charles Raymond Gingrich, III, Kenneth Paul Dowhower, Kyle Gary Annis, Brian Todd Klinger, Albert Tsang, Kevin Michael Thackston

Patent number: 10224657Abstract: A spring for use in an RF contact for a plug-in module including a hollow unitary cylindrical body having a longitudinal axis and a spring portion positioned between opposed first and second ends. The spring includes a first retainer near the first end, the first retainer adapted to be captured between first and second socket body portions of an RF contact, the first socket body portion, at least a segment of the second socket body portion, and the body adapted to be disposed within a receptacle module. The spring includes a second retainer near the second end, the second retainer adapted to be captured by a corresponding feature of the receptacle module. In response to the body being mounted in the receptacle module to floatingly secure the first socket body portion and the at least a segment of the second socket body portion therein, the spring portion is in tension.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 2018Date of Patent: March 5, 2019Assignee: TE CONNECTIVITY CORPORATIONInventors: Nicholas Paul Ruffini, Kevin Michael Thackston, Cammie L.

Publication number: 20180212341Abstract: A terminal assembly includes a terminal having a wire barrel and a mating segment configured to be mated to a mating component. The terminal assembly includes a shuttle assembly configured to be coupled to an end of a wire. The shuttle assembly includes a connecting insert defining a wire chamber configured to receive an exposed conductor of the wire. The connecting insert has a retention tab extending into the wire chamber. The retention tab is configured to interfere with and retain the wire in the wire chamber. The connecting insert is received in the wire barrel of the terminal and the connecting insert is configured to be crimped between the wire barrel of the terminal and the exposed conductor of the wire when the wire barrel is crimped around the connecting insert and the wire.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 23, 2017Publication date: July 26, 2018Inventors: Richard Frank Moore, Robert Neil Mulfinger, Richard Vincent Lucente, Kevin Michael Thackston, Brian Todd Klinger, Nicholas Paul Ruffini
