  • Patent number: 7445502
    Abstract: An electrical connector (100) includes an insulated housing (1), a number of terminals (2) arranged into two rows and received in the insulated housing respectively and a metal shell (3) pre-assembled with the insulated housing via coupling device. The insulated housing (1) comprises a front wall, a back wall, a bottom wall and a pair of lateral walls interconnecting with the front, the back and the bottom walls to define a hollow. The metal shell (3) comprises a front side, a rear side and a pair of transversal sides joining to the front and the rear sides to define a receiving space (30). The lower section of the receiving space is used for housing the insulated housing and the upper section of the receiving space is adapted for receiving the complementary connector.

  • Patent number: 7351091
    Abstract: A header connector comprises an elongate insulative housing (1) which has longitudinal walls, a plurality of terminals (4) retained in the housing, and the terminals are disposed as two types through hole-type terminals (41, 42) and surface mounted technology type terminals (43). Thus, the connector can provide an improved terminals distribution, which can meet different current and signal transmitted through, and the terminals arrangement can be designed as different distribution for meeting different signal transmission demand.

  • Patent number: 7278885
    Abstract: An electrical connector (100) includes an insulated housing (1) defining a receiving passage (15), a number of terminals (2) received in the insulated housing and a metal shell (3) having a number of walls cooperatively defining a hollow (34) for receiving the insulated housing. The metal shell further has a front mating port (341) and at least one guiding member (35). The guiding member is formed on the inner surface of one wall of the metal shell and disposed in front of the insulated housing. The guiding member includes a guiding portion and a supporting portion joining to each other to form a guiding passage. The guiding passage opens towards the front mating port and is adapted for guiding a complementary connector into engagement with the electrical connector.

  • Patent number: 6832934
    Abstract: An electrical connector (1) includes an elongated insulative housing (2) and a number of first and second contacts (3, 4). The insulative housing includes a first body portion (23) defining a first and a second pin receiving spaces (231, 232) to receive the second contacts and a second body portion (24). The second body portion includes a base (240), a tongue portion (241) extending forwardly from the base, a pair of end walls (243) located at opposite ends of the tongue portion and a strengthening wall (242) extending from the base and connecting with the pair of end walls. The tongue portion includes a first, a second and a third tongue sections (2413, 2414, 2415). The third tongue section has a thickness greater than each of those of the first and the second tongue sections. The first contacts are grouped into a first, a second and a third sets of first contacts (31, 32, 33) respectively received in the second body portion of the housing.

  • Patent number: 6746281
    Abstract: An electrical connector (1) includes an elongated insulative housing (10) and a number of contacts (20). The insulative housing includes a base portion (11), a pair of opposite first and second lengthwise walls (12, 13) extending from the base portion. The first lengthwise wall has a first and a second mating sections (121, 122) and defines a recess (120) between the first and second mating sections. The second lengthwise wall has a third mating section (131) protruded from an outer face thereof. The first, the second and third mating sections each defines a number of passageways (103) extending therethrough. The contacts includes first, second and third contacts (21, 22, 23) respectively received in passageways of the first, the second and the third mating sections.
