Publication number: 20150222068Abstract: A cable assembly for interconnecting a plurality of circuit boards together by using a connector assembly connected to each of the circuit boards. The cable assembly includes a first cable having a first end part and a second cable having a second end part. A first periphery of the first end part has a plurality of first half vias that collectively form a column along a width direction of the connector assembly. A second periphery of the second end part has a plurality of second half vias that collectively form a column along the width direction of the connector assembly. The first and second end parts are coupled together to form a connecting unit, such that the first half vias and the second half vias are joined together to form full vias.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 10, 2015Publication date: August 6, 2015Applicant: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: David J. Braun, Mark G. Clark, John R. Dangler, Matthew S. Doyle, Thomas D. Kidd, Jason T. Stoll

Patent number: 7977582Abstract: A flexible multilayer printed circuit assembly with shield fences. The flexible multilayer printed circuit assembly with multiple conductive layers includes logic ground vias that connect logic ground plane layers together, and shield vias that connect a top and a bottom shield plane layer together. Each of the shield fences is formed between the shield vias on an outside perimeter of each of the conductive layers. Each of the shield fences contains the logic ground vias inside, and also contains each corresponding conductive layer in the horizontal direction to which each layer extends.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 2008Date of Patent: July 12, 2011Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Mark G. Clark, John R. Dangler, Matthew S. Doyle, Thomas D. Kidd, Timothy L. McMillan, Jason T. Stoll

Patent number: 7442053Abstract: An electrical connector includes a first connector body having an interlocking feature extending therefrom. The interlocking feature interlocks the first connector body with a complimentary interlocking feature extending from an adjacent second connector body to distribute a lateral force on either the first or second connector bodies across the adjacent connector body thereby reducing a rotational moment at a base of each electrical connector connected to a printed circuit board (PCB).Type: GrantFiled: February 14, 2008Date of Patent: October 28, 2008Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: William L. Brodsky, Mark G. Clark, Amanda E. E. Mikhail, Arvind K. Sinha, Scott A. Shurson, Jason T. Stoll

Publication number: 20080220624Abstract: Ali apparatus for supporting at least one electrical connector body, the apparatus includes a mechanical frame assembly mountable to a printed circuit board (PCB) and separable from the at least one connector body and the PCB. The frame assembly includes at least one base member for attachment to the PCB; and a plurality of rigid body members each spaced apart from one another and extending from the at least one base member or an adjacent rigid body member. The plurality of rigid body members receive a grouping of one or more connector bodies and a pair of adjacent rigid body members are configured to receive and support at least a portion of an entire length of respective opposing side surfaces defining each connector body. When a lateral force is applied to the connector body, the frame assembly acts as a support and transfers the lateral force to the PCB, thereby reducing a rotational moment at a base of each connector body connected to the PCB.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 8, 2007Publication date: September 11, 2008Applicant: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: William L. Brodsky, Mark G. Clark, Amanda E.E. Mikhail, Arvind K. Sinha, Scott A. Shurson, Jason T. Stoll
