Abstract: An electrical connector includes an insulative housing (1), a first set of contacts (3) connecting to a first powering device and a second set of contacts (5) connecting to a second powering device. The first set of contacts has a first contact (31) and a second contact (32). The second set of contacts has a third contact (51), a fourth contact (53), a fifth contact (54) and a connecting element (52). The third and the fifth contacts respectively have a first and a second bias terminals (516, 543). A first electrical circuit is formed by the second and the third contacts and the connecting element. A second electrical circuit is formed by the first, the fourth and the fifth contacts. The first and the second electrical circuits are respectively connected to circuit traces of a PCB through the first and the second bias terminals.

Abstract: An input/output port connector has an insulative housing (1), a plurality of conductive contacts (2) retained in the insulative housing (1) for surface mounting to a printed circuit board and a shell (3).

Abstract: An RJ-45 receptacle connector (2) for preventing insertion of a noncomplementary plug connector therein includes a dielectric housing (4) defining a receiving space (44) therein, a terminal module (5), an anti-mismating mechanism (7), and front and back shields (6,1). The anti-mismating mechanism (7) includes a pair of spring member 71, each having a base (72) fixed to the dielectric housing, a resilient stem (73) extending forwardly through the sidewall into the receiving space, a curved portion (732) formed near a free end (724) of the stem, and a stop tongue (75) extending from the resilient stem into a channel (49) defined in an upper wall (42). A smaller, noncomplementary plug connector is blocked from entry by the stop tongues projecting into the channel. Entrance of the complementary connector however, forces the curved portions aside, which moves the stop tongues from the connector's path, allowing full insertion of the complementary connector.

Abstract: An electrical connector comprises an insulative housing, a front shell and a rear shell. The insulative housing defines a plurality of passageways for receiving terminals. A plurality of resilient strips stamped from opposite walls of the front shell press against an inserted mating connector. A guiding portion is formed on the end of each forward edge of the front shell to guide a mating electrical connector. A rear section of the insulative housing is received in the rear shell and a front section of the insulative housing is received in the receiving opening of the front shell. A pair of tabs on the top rear of the front shell engages with a pair of corresponding first recesses on a top front of the rear shell and a pair of corresponding second recesses defined in the insulative housing. A plurality of latching fingers extending from inserting plates of the front shell engages with corresponding apertures in the rear shell.

Abstract: An electrical connector comprises an insulative housing, a number of conductive contacts, a shell and a rear cover. Receiving slots are disposed in the insulative housing for receiving the conductive contacts. Positioning grooves are defined at a rear lower side of the insulative housing, and a number of bumps are disposed on opposite inside surfaces thereof to interferingly retain soldering sections of the conductive contacts. A stabilization device, stamped and formed from a bottom forward surface of the shell, aids in providing a stable mounting of the electrical connector on the printed circuit board. Thus the electrical connector is prevented from slanting forward on its mounting, assuring proper operation.
