  • Method for mounting a connector on a printed circuit board, and shielded connector and lower shielding plate for use in such a method
    Patent number: 6648687
    Abstract: A shielded connector comprises a housing of insulating material accommodating a plurality of contact elements, and a shielding plate comprising a front half and a back half. The front half has a plurality of contact portions and the back half has contact ends for connection to a printed circuit board. The housing is provided with at least one channel at a front end thereof, this at least one channel being open at its back end and closed at its front end for receiving the front end of the shielding plate. The shielding plate is provided with a bend near its front end for cooperation with back end of the channel.

  • Coaxial connector
    Patent number: 5495075
    Abstract: A contact device for a cable comprising one or more inner conductors with inner insulating sheath and a common shield with outer insulating sheath, comprises a connection terminal for the shield and a connection element for each inner conductor. Further a guiding element and a stop element are provided for each inner conductor. The guiding element directs the corresponding inner conductor with its insulating sheath at the corresponding stop element in such a manner that during insertion of the cable into the contact device the inner insulating sheath is axially compressed by the stop element by the stop element. Seen from the corresponding guiding element each connection terminal for an inner conductor lies beyond the corresponding stop element. By application of this contact device it is no longer necessary to remove the inner insulating sheath.
