Patent number: 11936131Abstract: A sealed electrical connector that includes an interface component that has housing with a front end and an opposite rear end, the front end has an open end face for receiving a mating connector, and the rear end for receiving cable. The housing has contacts. A terminal-position-assurance feature is coupled to the contacts and to the housing. The terminal-position-assurance feature may be located at a first axial position along the longitudinal axis of the housing which is a first distance from the open end face of the housing. An interface seal surrounds an outer portion of the housing. The interface seal is located on the housing at a second axial position along the longitudinal axis of the housing which is a second distance from the open end face of the housing. The second distance is greater than the first distance.Type: GrantFiled: September 17, 2021Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: Amphenol CorporationInventors: Joachim Grek, Kyle Christopher Elmes

Patent number: 6719587Abstract: A connector comprises a housing of insulating material and a number of right-angled contact elements arranged in rows and columns. A right-angled shielding plate is arranged between all adjacent rows or adjacent groups of rows of contact elements. Further, adjacent columns or adjacent groups of columns of contact elements are separated by a vertical shielding plate. The right-angled and vertical shielding plates are provided with slots receiving the vertical and right-angled shielding plates, respectively. Contact parts are provided for interconnecting the right-angled and vertical shielding plates.Type: GrantFiled: May 30, 2002Date of Patent: April 13, 2004Assignee: FCIInventors: Gert Droesbeke, Ivan Joachim Grek
