  • Patent number: 11322895
    Abstract: A shielding for a signal connector includes a plurality of shielding walls arranged to electromagnetically shield a signal contact of the signal connector, a forward end open for receiving a mating connector along an insertion direction, and a longitudinal circumferential retention element extending along a circumferential direction of the shielding. At least two of the shielding walls are parallel with each other at least in sections in a cross-section perpendicular to the insertion direction.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11158923
    Abstract: A microwave connector assembly comprises a waveguide ferrule having a receiving end receiving a dielectric waveguide, a connecting end distal to the receiving end, and a locking member, and a ferrule socket at least partially receiving the waveguide ferrule in a ferrule receptacle. The ferrule socket engages in a locking connection with the locking member. The ferrule socket has a coding member engaging a complementary coding member of the waveguide ferrule only when the waveguide ferrule is positioned relative to the ferrule socket in a single predetermined angular position or in one of two predetermined angular positions that are rotated by 180° with respect to each other.

  • Patent number: 11041996
    Abstract: A wave conductor for electromagnetic waves, waveguide connector and communications link A wave conductor for electromagnetic waves, preferably a millimeter-wave wave conductor, in particular for a digital communication application, with a conductor core and a one conductor sheathing. The conductor sheathing surrounds the conductor core at least partially in the longitudinal direction and at least partially in the circumferential direction of the wave conductor. One longitudinal section of the wave conductor has cross-sections which deviate from a circle at the outside of the wave conductor and/or at the outside of the conductor sheathing. Further, a waveguide connector for electromagnetic waves, preferably millimeter-wave waveguide connectors, in particular flying or installable waveguide connectors for a wave conductor. The waveguide connector has a wave conductor plug-in recess in which a longitudinal section of the wave conductor is directly placeable.

  • Patent number: 6305992
    Abstract: An electrical contact (1) is shown having a conductor connection region (2) for connection to an electrical conductor wire and a contact-making region (3) for making contact with a complementary contact pin is specified, the contact-making region essentially being designed in the form of a box with two side walls (4, 5), a top wall (6) and a bottom wall (7), the bottom wall (7) and the top wall (6) having a different width in the direction perpendicular to the plug-in direction, in such a way that the side walls (4, 5) run in a manner inclined with respect to the bottom and top walls (6, 7) and with respect to one another.
