  • Publication number: 20240061988
    Abstract: A routing assembly for an electronic device has a plurality of connectors ports and each of the connector ports contains a first connector connected to one or more cables. Cables are directly terminated, at first ends thereof, to terminals of the first connectors and the cables can be embedded in a routing substrate. The routing substrate has an opening which accommodates a chip package. Second ends of the cables are terminated to second connectors arranged in the package opening and the second connectors are in turn connected to the chip package.

  • Patent number: 11205867
    Abstract: A grid array connector system is provided that includes cables that are mounted on a board which has a chip packaged mounted thereon. The cables include conductors that are connected to support vias positioned in openings in the board and the conductors are connected to the support vias. The board can be connected to a second board which provides a stiffening ring. The board can be connected to the second board by deflectable terminals which are press-fit into the second board.

  • Patent number: 11108176
    Abstract: A routing assembly for an electronic device has a front face with an array of connectors ports and each of the connector ports contain a first connector mounted therein. A first end of a cable can be directly terminated to the first connectors and the cables can be embedded in a tray that is configured to extend toward a chip package. The cables extend from the tray and terminates to a second connector that can be electrically connected to the chip package so as to provide a communication path between the first connector and the second connector that substantially bypasses a supporting circuit board.

  • Patent number: 10424878
    Abstract: A cable connector for use in a bypass assembly is disclosed. Twin-ax cables are directly terminated to the cable connector. The cable connector includes a sub-connector that includes terminals that have termination portions extending outwardly and signal conductors from the bypass cables are aligned with the termination portions and welded together. A carrier and ground collar can help connect termination portions that are intended for ground terminals together to form commoned ground terminals.
