  • Patent number: 7445500
    Abstract: An electrical connector may include a connector housing and a first alignment post. The first alignment post may extend from the bottom of the connector housing. The electrical connector may further include a protrusion that extends from the bottom of the connector housing. The protrusion may impede the electrical connector from tipping in at least one direction relative to a substrate. Additionally, the protrusion may be positioned relative to the center of gravity of the electrical connector to impede the electrically connector from tipping in at least one direction relative to the substrate.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 26, 2007
    Date of Patent: November 4, 2008

  • Patent number: 6184460
    Abstract: An electrical shield is disclosed for shielding a conductor. The shield includes a top wall having an opening formed therein for the conductor. A first wall, integrally formed with the top wall includes first and second panels. One edge of the first panel is attached to the top wall and one edge of the second panel is attached to the first panel. A lead is integrally formed with the first panel. A second wall is also integrally formed with the top wall, so that a cavity is defined by the top wall, the first and second panels and the second wall. In a preferred embodiment, the shield further includes third, fourth and fifth walls, integrally formed with the top wall. The third wall includes third and fourth panels, wherein one edge of the third panel is attached to the top wall and wherein one edge of the fourth panel is attached to the third panel.
