Publication number: 20150303608Abstract: A connector assembly of a first and a complementary second connector. The assembly includes latches cooperative with respective matching locking sections at opposite sides of the assembly to hold the connectors in an assembled state. One of the connectors includes a main body and a release member which is slideable relative to the main body between a rest position and a release position. In the release position the release member disengages the latches from the respective locking sections. At least one resilient member biases the release member to the rest position.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 29, 2013Publication date: October 22, 2015Applicant: FCI Americas Technology LLCInventors: Arkady Zerebilov, Deborah Ingram

Patent number: 8585426Abstract: An electrical connector includes a connector housing and at least one electrical contact supported by the connector housing, the at least one electrical contact configured to mate with a complementary electrical contact of a complementary electrical connector. The electrical connector further includes a latch assembly that includes an actuator and a latch body. The actuator has an actuator portion and at least one arm extending from the actuator portion. The arm includes a proximal end connected to the actuator portion, an opposed distal end, and an intermediate portion. The intermediate portion is retained by the connector housing at a location below the distal end. The latch body is connected to the connector housing so as to rotate about a pivot axis. The latch body includes a latch member at one side of the pivot axis, and a spring disposed at a second opposite side of the pivot axis. The spring provides a spring force that biases the latch member toward a latched position.Type: GrantFiled: July 22, 2011Date of Patent: November 19, 2013Assignee: FCI Americas Technology LLCInventors: Arkady Y. Zerebilov, Deborah A. Ingram

Patent number: 6623292Abstract: An edge connector for receiving a first circuit board, circuit card, etc. comprises a housing having a circuit board receiving groove. A plurality of electrical contacts are arranged in the board receiving groove. An ejector member is provided for ejecting the board from the housing, the ejector member is translucent or transparent. A light emitter is optically coupled to the ejector member, so that when the light emitter is lit, the light from the light emitter is transmitted through the translucent or transparent ejector member to provide a visual indication which can be seen by the person inserting the circuit board into the connector.Type: GrantFiled: October 27, 2000Date of Patent: September 23, 2003Assignee: FCI Americas Technology, Inc.Inventors: Ronald P. Holler, Deborah A. Ingram, William A. Northey, Alan David Crighton

Patent number: 6312286Abstract: A hold-down is provided for securing an electrical connector to a printed circuit board. The hold-down is mounted to the housing and/or arms of the electrical connector. The hold-down comprises a base; a first portion formed at one end of the base, with a first terminal extending from the other end of the first portion and substantially parallel to the base; and a second portion formed at the other end of the base, with a second terminal extending from the other end of the second portion and substantially parallel to the base. The hold-down pivots or is free-floating, and therefore, provides coplanarity among the terminals in the electrical connector and the hold-down.Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 1999Date of Patent: November 6, 2001Assignee: FCI Americas Technology, Inc.Inventors: Joel D. Fetter, Deborah A. Ingram
