  • Patent number: 11837825
    Abstract: A connector includes a first terminal assembly having a longitudinally extending first plate-shaped fixing portion, a longitudinally extending first terminal portion, and a substantially laterally extending first connection portion to connect the first plate-shaped fixing portion and the first terminal portion. A second terminal assembly is arranged opposite to and spaced apart from the first terminal assembly and includes a longitudinally extending second plate-shaped fixing portion, a longitudinally extending second terminal portion, and a substantially laterally extending second connection portion to connect the second plate-shaped fixing portion and the second terminal portion. A spacing between the first plate-shaped fixing portion and the second plate-shaped fixing portion is greater than a spacing between the first terminal portion and the second terminal portion.

  • Publication number: 20230216234
    Abstract: A connector cage assembly includes a housing, an intermediate member, a heat sink and a movable stop member. The housing defines upper and lower plug sockets stacked in a vertical direction. The intermediate member is arranged between the upper socket and the lower socket, and the heat sink is arranged adjacent the intermediate member. The stop member is movable within the housing between a first position in which it is positioned at a first distance from the heat sink, and a second position in which it is positioned at a second distance from the heat sink, greater than the first distance. The stop member is adapted to limit the insertion of a plug connector inserted into the lower plug socket.

  • Patent number: 11575225
    Abstract: A connector comprises a pair of terminals for clamping and electrically connecting to a first conductive member. A first terminal includes a plurality of first elastic arms arranged in a row, with each first elastic arm having a first contact and a third contact formed thereon. The second terminal is laminated on an outer side of the first terminal and includes a plurality of second elastic arms arranged in a row. Each second elastic arm includes a second contact formed thereon. Each second contact protrudes to an inner side of the first elastic arms from a gap between two adjacent first elastic arms. The plurality of second elastic arms respectively abut against the outer sides of the plurality of first elastic arms. The first contact, the second contact and the third contact are adapted to be in electrical contact with the inserted first conductive member simultaneously.

  • Publication number: 20230029814
    Abstract: A connector cage assembly includes a housing defining an upper port and a lower port stacked over each other in an up-down direction, an intermediate member between the upper port and the lower port in the up-down direction, and a movable stopper movably disposed on the intermediate member and movable between a first position and a second position in a front-rear direction perpendicular to the up-down direction. The movable stopper is at least partially located inside the intermediate member in the first position. The movable stopper at least partially extends beyond the intermediate member and limits a plug connector inserted into the lower port in the second position.
