Abstract: The invention relates to a miniature electrical connector arrangement, and particularly to a socket connector for use in such a miniature connector arrangement. The socket connector comprises an outer connector body for enclosing one or more cavities. Each cavity is provided with one or more electrical contacts that can be connected to a length of one or more conductive elements. One or more flexible conductive structures are placed within the cavities and proximate to the contacts of the socket connector are capable of z-axis compressibility. The flexible conductive structures are arranged to connect to one or more pins of a plug connector of the miniature connector arrangement when the plug and socket connectors are attached with each other for conducting current.

Abstract: A connector unit is provided with a connector part which interfaces with another connector and a back shell. The back shell is split into two sections, the first of which attaches to the connector part. Once wires have been soldered to the connector part. The first back shell section is connected and the resulting cavity filled with resin. The second back shell section is attached to the first first back shell section and a conductive shielding layer is electrically connected close to the interface of the two back shell sections. The cavity generated by the second back shell section is then filled with resin, and the connector unit is sealed.
