Patent number: 8992254Abstract: A connector includes a housing positioned in a cage. A vertical wall is positioned around the housing and is soldered to a printed circuit board that is supporting the connector. The vertical wall includes a plurality of fingers that are configured to engage the cage. The fingers are positioned at intervals such that the distance between the fingers acts to control the frequencies of EMI that emit from the connector.Type: GrantFiled: October 27, 2010Date of Patent: March 31, 2015Assignee: Molex IncorporatedInventors: Emanuel G.

Patent number: 8894443Abstract: A board-mountable connector is provided. The connector includes a shield and an insulative housing with a tongue. Terminals are supported by the housing in two rows and the rows extend from a mating interface to a board mounting interface. The terminals may be mounted to the board via surface mount technology in two rows that are at about 0.4 mm pitch. The two rows of terminals are configured in a signal, signal, ground triangular configuration so as to provide a triangular terminal arrangement that extends from the mating interface to the mounting interface.Type: GrantFiled: July 19, 2013Date of Patent: November 25, 2014Assignee: Molex IncorporatedInventors: Scott D. Sommers, Kent E. Regnier, Michael R. Kamarauskas, Emanuel G. Banakis, Galen F. Fromm

Patent number: 8864523Abstract: A connector includes a multi-port shield configured to reduce EMI. A housing is positioned inside the shield and includes one or more projections extending from a first face, the projections aligned with each port. A vertical wall is provided on the first face of the housing. Apertures in the vertical wall are aligned with the projections. The vertical wall helps reduce the amount of EMI generated by the connector.Type: GrantFiled: October 26, 2010Date of Patent: October 21, 2014Assignee: Molex IncorporatedInventors: Emanuel G.
