Patent number: 7806729Abstract: A terminal module for assembly into a high-speed electrical connector having a contact receiving first contact pair and second contact pair, the second contact pair being in electrical communication with the first contact pair via a corresponding pair of contact interconnections. The contact interconnections have a substantially identical length of the corresponding pair and are arranged within parallel planes. The module further includes a shielding member arranged and disposed in close proximity to at least three edges of one or more of the first contact pair, the second contact pair and the contact interconnections to provide shielding. A housing member is arranged and disposed to receive backplane contacts via contact receiving apertures. The housing member is engaged with the first contact pair to receive the contacts into the contacts of the first contact pair. A backplane having grounding plate grid is also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 2008Date of Patent: October 5, 2010Assignee: Tyco Electronics CorporationInventors: Hung Thai Nguyen, John A. Fulponi, Brent David Yohn

Patent number: 7731533Abstract: A connector system is provided that includes electrical connectors, a substrate and a vibration dampening shell. The connectors each have first and second sides. The substrate has an upper surface with the connectors mounted thereon. The shell limits movement of the connectors with respect to one another and is coupled to the first sides of the connectors to limit the movement of the connectors toward and away from the upper substrate. The shell also is coupled to the second sides of the connectors to limit the movement of the connectors in directions transverse to the upper substrate surface.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 2008Date of Patent: June 8, 2010Assignee: Tyco Electronics CorporationInventors: Hung Thai Nguyen, Brent D.

Patent number: 7607929Abstract: An electrical connector assembly includes a housing having a mating end and a connector cavity extending from the mating end along a cavity axis. The housing has a panel wall including first and second sides with an opening extending therebetween and open to the connector cavity. An electrical connector is received in the connector cavity and includes a shell extending along a longitudinal axis. The shell has a flange extending radially outward therefrom that engages the first side of the panel wall. The shell has a groove extending at least partially circumferentially around the shell. A washer is held within the groove of the shell and has a washer engagement surface. A spring concentrically surrounds a portion of the shell. The spring has a front end and a rear end with the front end engaging the washer engagement surface. The rear end faces the flange engagement surface and engages the second side of the panel wall such that the panel wall is captured between the flange and the spring.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2008Date of Patent: October 27, 2009Assignee: Tyco Electronics CorporationInventors: Hung Thai Nguyen, Brent D.
