  • Patent number: 10290979
    Abstract: A network connector assembly comprises a header housing having two pins forming a pin pair. A first pin end portion can be connected to a counter connector. A second pin end portion can be connected to a PCB. A first electrically conductive shielding member is arranged laterally to the pin pair. A second electrically conductive shielding member is arranged intermediate the pin pair. The second pin end portions form a press fit connector configured to connect to the PCB. The second pin end portions comprise a press protrusion configured to cooperate with a press tool while being pressed in a PCB-opening of the PCB. The second electrically conductive shielding member defines a tool opening arranged at a position that allows movement of a press tool through the tool opening along a tool axis to access the press protrusion.

  • Patent number: 9762003
    Abstract: The invention relates to a network connector assembly for vehicles. The network communicates at data rates of 100 Mbit/s and/or 1 Gbit/s. The connector assembly includes a header having at least two pins forming a pin pair. The pins extend in a mating direction. The connector assembly also includes an electrically conductive shielding member shielding the pin pair on at least two sides. The shielding member has a front face that is oriented substantially normal to the mating direction. The connector assembly further includes a header shroud, wherein the header shroud is provided with a shielding cavity for receiving the shielding member. The front face of the shielding member is at least partly covered by the header shroud.

  • Patent number: 9431771
    Abstract: An electromagnetically shielded connector system includes a first and second connector. The first connector further includes a first terminal and a first electromagnetic shield surrounding the first terminal. The first shield defines a flexible interface contact projecting from an end of the first shield. The second connector further includes a second terminal configured to mate with the first terminal and a second electromagnetic shield surrounding the second terminal. The second shield is configured to be electrically connected with the first shield at least via the flexible interface contact. The second shield is surrounded by a supporting member. At least a portion of an outer surface of the second shield is in intimate contact with the supporting member. The second shield is configured to be disposed intermediate the interface contact and the supporting member. The interface contact is formed and configured to exert a normal spring force on the second shield.

  • Publication number: 20140051291
    Abstract: Connector (1) for flexible printed circuit (FPC) (3) comprising a connector housing (5) including an insertion slot (4) adapted to receive the FPC (3). The connector comprises a shield (18) adapted to be electrically connected to a ground path (2a) of a circuit substrate (2) on which the connector (1) is to be mounted. Said insertion slot (4) comprises a signal side corresponding to conductive tracks (29) of the FPC and a ground side (26a) opposite to said signal side. The shield comprises at least one electrically conductive tooth (25), movable from a retracted position outside the insertion slot (4), to a protruding position where said tooth (25) protrudes from the ground side (26a) to the inside of the insertion slot (4).

  • Patent number: 7335037
    Abstract: The invention relates to an electrical connector which is equipped with a rapid disconnection system. In order to reduce damage caused to the electrical connector by electric arcs, the inventive connector comprises a release (15) and a spring (16). According to the invention, the release is intended to co-operate with a case (3) in order to authorise the movement of the disconnection device (4), while the spring, which is solidly connected to the case and the disconnection device, enables the rapid disconnection of the case and cover parts (2) forming the connector, thereby producing the rapid disconnection of the contacts (5, 7) which are attached to each of the two parts respectively.
