  • Patent number: 11652317
    Abstract: An electrical connector assembly includes a receptacle connector disposed in a wearable machine and equipped with one row contacts and a set of magnets, and a cable connector equipped with two rows of contacts and another set of magnets so as to be mated with the receptacle connector in a flippable manner wherein the interface between the receptacle connector and the cable connector is of a stadium configuration, and the set of magnets are located at two opposite halves of the long sides of the stadium configuration in the diagonal direction.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11264149
    Abstract: A twin axial cable includes a pair of wires each with a core conductor; a first dielectric extruded around each of the core conductors, said pair of conductors with the first dielectrics being intimately side by side positioned with each other in a transverse direction; a second dielectric different form the first dielectric and extruded around the first dielectrics; a shielding layer enclosing the second dielectric; and a heat seal PET layer enclosing the shielding layer. A coupling ratio which is calculated by a value of an even mode characteristic impedance subtracted an odd mode characteristic impedance divided by a value of the even mode characteristic impedance pulsed the odd mode characteristic impedance is between 15% to 30%.

  • Patent number: 10588243
    Abstract: An electrical assembly includes a metallic cage including a plurality of faces to commonly form a receiving space; a receptacle connector located in a rear portion of the receiving space; and a heat sink member mounted on an outer side of the metallic cage. The heat sink member comprising a first portion located on one of the faces, and a second portion located on another one of the faces. The first portion and the second portion are associated with the metallic cage by different mechanical structures. The first portion and the second portion are thermally connected with each other.

  • Patent number: 10446960
    Abstract: An electrical connector assembly includes a metallic cage defining a receiving space therein, a receptacle connector unit received in the receiving space and including a pair of mating ports, and a number of terminal wafers stacked with one another with corresponding contacting sections exposed upon the mating ports and tail sections to be mounted on a printed circuit board on which the receptacle connector unit is mounted, and a middle heat transfer unit located between the two mating ports in a vertical direction and including a heat base linked with a pair of heat pipes on two sides, the pair of heat pipes extending through a rear of the cage and connected to a rear heat sink unit located behind the rear of the cage. Each of the pair of heat pipes is directly contacted with at least two different surfaces of the heat base.

  • Patent number: 10396494
    Abstract: An electrical special plug connector includes a mating space, for receiving a mating tongue of a complementary receptacle connector, with a corresponding latch extending thereinto, and further equipped with a moveable actuator to move a corresponding latch away from the mating space toward an outer position when said actuator is affected by magnetic forces derived from a special receptacle connector equipped with a magnet so as to have the special plug connector mated with the special receptacle connector with magnetic forces while keeping the corresponding latch in an inner position to interlock with a locking notch of a standard type C receptacle connector.
