Publication number: 20240088591Abstract: A conductive terminal assembly includes at least three layers of conductive terminals. Each layer of conductive terminals has a terminal body, one or more elastic arms extending from the terminal body, and a contact end at an end of each elastic arm distal from the terminal body in a first direction. The terminal bodies of the at least three layers of conductive terminals are overlapped with each other in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. The contact ends of the at least three layers of conductive terminals are at least partially staggered and arranged in a third direction perpendicular to the first direction and the second direction. The contact ends are capable of electrically contacting a mating component.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 14, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Applicant: Tyco Electronics (Shanghai) Co., Ltd.Inventors: Jiaoyong (Mac) Liu, Hongqiang (Sean) Han, Jie (Roger) Luo

Publication number: 20240088592Abstract: An electrical connector includes a housing defining a slot in which a mating component can be at least partially inserted, a conductive terminal installed in the housing and having a contact end capable of electrically contacting the mating component, and a supporting member elastically supporting the contact end. The supporting member has a cantilever beam and a supporting arm extending from the cantilever beam. The cantilever beam at least partially abuts a first surface of the contact end facing an inner wall of the housing and applies an elastic force to the contact end. The supporting arm is positioned at least partially between the cantilever beam and the inner wall. The supporting arm elastically supports the cantilever beam and the contact end when pressed against the inner wall.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 14, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Applicant: Tyco Electronics (Shanghai) Co., Ltd.Inventors: Jiaoyong (Mac) Liu, Hongqiang (Sean) Han, Jie (Roger) Luo
