  • Publication number: 20170040724
    Abstract: A receptacle connector includes an insulative housing defining a base and a mating tongue, with a widen and thicken step structure around a root thereof adjacent to the base; two rows of contacts disposed in the insulating housing with contacting sections exposed upon the mating tongue and mount tails out of the base; a metallic shield surrounding the mating tongue so as to define a mating cavity; and a metallic bracket attached the shield. The first wall of the shield defines a pair of spring tangs split therefrom and extending rearwards into the mating cavity, the second wall defines a pair of dimples protruding inwards the mating cavity for holding the plug connector. The bracket covers spring tangs and seals any opens defined on the first wall for keeping integrity therewith under EMI consideration.

  • Patent number: 9496653
    Abstract: A receptacle connector includes an insulative housing with a mating tongue, a plurality of contacts having front contacting sections exposed upon two opposite surfaces of the mating tongue and rear tail sections extending downwardly outside of the housing for mounting to a printed circuit board. A metallic shield encloses said housing and forms a capsular mating cavity with said mating tongue extending forwardly therein. A metallic shielding plate includes a front horizontal section embedded with the mating tongue to isolate the contacting sections of the contacts which are located on two different opposite surfaces, and a rear vertical section extending downwardly from a rear edge of the front horizontal section to isolate the tail sections of the contacts which are arranged in two rows with said rear vertical section therebewteen.

  • Publication number: 20160329662
    Abstract: An electrical connector assembly includes an insulative housing, at least a first terminal, at least a second terminal, a first metallic shell and a second metallic shell. The insulative housing has a base portion, a first tongue portion and a second tongue portion. The first and second tongue portions being disposed separately at a certain distance and parallel to each other. The first terminal has a first contacting portion and a first connecting leg. The second terminal has a second contacting portion and a second connecting leg. The first metallic shell surrounds the first tongue portion to form a first mating cavity. The second metallic shell surrounds at least a part of the second tongue portion to form a second mating cavity. The first and the second mating cavity are independent and closely stacked along a vertical direction.

  • Publication number: 20160315422
    Abstract: An electrical connector includes a terminal seat loaded with a plurality of terminals and a shielding plate. The terminal seat includes a base and a mating tongue extending from the base, the mating tongue defines two opposite mating surfaces, a confronting surface and two opposite sides connecting with the mating surfaces and the confronting surface. The terminals include contacting sections exposing upon the mating surfaces and leg sections out of the base. The shielding plate includes a main sheet disposed between the mating surfaces and two thickening sections, the two thickening sections enclose the two opposite sides of the mating tongue and each provides a side latch at an outer side face thereof. Each thickness defines two opposite first surfaces connecting with the outer side face thereof, the first surfaces complete the mating surfaces of the mating tongue.

  • Publication number: 20160233630
    Abstract: An electrical connector includes a terminal module unit with contacts and grounding plates thereof. The terminal module includes an insulative base and an insulative mating tongue forwardly extending therefrom. The mating tongue forms opposite mating surfaces. The contacts includes the contacting sections on the mating surfaces and the connecting legs. The mating tongue includes a root section adjacent to the base. The grounding plates unit covers the root section in an embedded manner. The grounding plate includes a planar body exposed upon the mating surface, and a pair of fixing side arms extending from two opposite ends of the planar body and equipped with corresponding latching hooks to secure to the semi-finished root section before the final insert-molding process is applied.

    Abstract: A power management and control module adapted for a liquid crystal display device includes a boost-type DC/DC topology circuit, a LED dimming control circuit and a multiplexer. The boost-type DC/DC topology circuit has a voltage output terminal electrically connected with a logic high power supply terminal of a gate driving circuit and a power supply terminal of a LED backlight source. The LED dimming control circuit is electrically connected with the LED backlight source for dimming operation. A first and second data input terminals of the multiplexer are electrically connected to the voltage output terminal through a first and second feedback networks respectively. The LED backlight source is electrically connected in the second feedback network. A data output terminal of the multiplexer is electrically connected to the boost-type DC/DC topology circuit and alternatively communicated with the first or second data input terminal to provide a feedback input voltage.

  • Patent number: 8395612
    Abstract: A display driving circuit includes a timing controller, agate driving circuit, a control unit, a boost converter and a level shifter. The timing controller functions to provide a first start pulse. The level shifter generates a second start pulse by level shifting the first start pulse. The gate driving circuit includes a plurality of shift registers coupled in series and is driven by the second start pulse and the level shifter so as to generate gate signals. The control unit uses the second start pulse and a gate signal generated by a kth shift register to switch a high working voltage provided to the level shifter by the boost converter to a suitable range for driving the gate driving circuit.
