Abstract: A coaxial plug assembly is shown provided with a main housing which houses a coaxial plug connector. A retention housing is provided which latches to the main housing and which retains the coaxial connector in place. In some embodiments, the retention housing includes an integral locking plate to which a cable exit member can be attached for orienting the cable exit in a 90° angle exit relative to the coaxial connector. In another embodiment a locking plate is integrally attached to the coaxial cable sleeve and includes a cable exit portion which is latchingly connected to the locking part.

Abstract: A dual beam receptacle terminal is shown having a generally box shaped receptacle contact where first and second contact portions are reversely bent from an upper wall to overlap within an interior of the receptacle contact. The first and second contact portions also extend in a cantilevered fashion from the upper wall. A spherical dimple is provided on the upper of the two reversely bent contact portions in the location of the overlapped portion. Contact stop portions are provided on the side walls of the receptacle contact portion which engage the contact stop portions on the receptacle sidewalls. A coverwall is provided overlapping the upper wall which forms a clean seam with the sidewall from which the upper wall extends.

Abstract: A coaxial cable connector assembly includes a coaxial cable comprising a conductive braid, and a primary shield coupled to the cable and in electrical contact with the conductive braid. The primary shield defines a three sided enclosure surrounding the cable, and a secondary shield defines at least a portion of a fourth side of said enclosure and is electrically connected to the conductive braid.

Abstract: A shielded jack assembly is shown having a front cylindrical tube, and a rear ground shell portion. The rear ground shell is stamped and formed from pre-plated metal, and includes a partial cylindrical portion, plate portions extending downwardly therefrom, and printed circuit board portions depending from the plate portions. A rear wall portion is integral with the partial cylindrical portion, and depends therefrom via a hinge. The rear wall portion is bent to cover the end opening in the partial cylindrical portion.

Abstract: A header assembly includes an insulative contact housing having a plurality of walls defining an interior cavity and an insulative alignment housing having at least one alignment rib extending on an exterior surface thereof. The alignment housing is separately provided and independently mounted to the contact housing. A plurality of contacts are included within the cavity and extend through one of the walls to an exterior of the contact housing wherein the contacts flex against the alignment housing and abut the alignment rib, thereby ensuring coplanarity of the contacts for surface mounting to a circuit board.

Abstract: A header assembly includes an insulative housing having a plurality of walls defining an interior cavity extending along a mating axis, and a plurality of contacts within the cavity and extending through one of the walls to an exterior of the housing for surface mounting to a circuit board. The insulative housing includes at least one alignment rib extending on an exterior surface thereof in a direction substantially perpendicular to the mating axis. The contacts are formed against and abutting the alignment rib, thereby ensuring coplanarity of the contacts for surface mounting to a circuit board.
