Abstract: An electrical connector having a plurality of electrical conductors with one portion thereof disposed in a housing and an end of such connector projecting outward from the housing and terminating in a pad disposed perpendicular to the housing disposed portion. The connector is provided adapted for mounting to an ball grid array disposed on a printed circuit board. The pad is coupled to the conductor through a curved interconnect. The interconnect is configured as an inductor to provide a series resonant circuit element for the capacitor effect provided by the pad. The connector has a housing adapted to having therein a plurality of wafer-like modules. Each one of the modules has a dielectric support and an array of signal electrical conductors electrically insulated by portions of the supports. A ground plane electrical conductor is provided. The ground plane conductor is disposed under, and is separated from, portions of the signal electrical conductor by the dielectric member.

Abstract: A high speed, high density electrical connector for use with printed circuit boards. The connector is in two pieces with one piece having pins and shield plates and the other having socket type signal contacts and shield plates. The shields have a grounding arrangement which is adapted to control the electromagnetic fields, for various system architectures, simultaneous switching configurations and signal speeds, allowing all of the socket type signal contacts to be used for signal transmission. Additionally, at least one piece of the connector is manufactured from wafers, with each ground plane and signal column injection molded into components which, when combined, form a wafer. This construction allows very close spacing between adjacent columns of signal contacts as well as tightly controlled spacing between the signal contacts and the shields.

Abstract: A durable modular connector assembly, particularly for use as a daughter board connector. The connector is made up of connector modules organized on a stiffener. Each connector module includes an alignment block to frictionally engage contact tails. The stiffener is connected to both the base and the alignment block so that the resulting module is rigidly held together and to the stiffener. The connector is therefore less susceptible to damage.

Abstract: Electrical connectors are provided with shield units each having a plurality of shields joined by a bridge. Preferably the shield units are mounted in a base stiffened by means apertured to carry mounting ear means.

Abstract: The regulator assembly comprises body member carried by a support and defining a cavity for detaining a pool of abrasive slurry. An overflow device is associated with the body member for establishing the upper level of a pool of abrasive slurry in the cavity. At least one flow-restrictive conduit component is secured at one end to the body member, communicates with the cavity at the lower end of the pool of abrasive slurry, and presents an outer end from which abrasive slurry is discharged. One of the above-indicated elements is movable whereby to selectively adjust the vertical distance between the plane of the upper level of the pool of abrasive slurry and the plane of the outer end of the conduit component.
