Abstract: An extension to USB includes an insulative tongue portion and a number of contacts held in the insulative tongue portion. The contacts have four conductive contacts and a plurality of differential contacts for transferring differential signals located behind/forward the four standard USB contacts along a front-to-rear direction. The four conductive contacts are adapted for USB 2.0 protocol and the plurality of differential contacts are adapted for non-USB 2.0 protocol. The extension to USB is capable of mating with a complementary standard USB 2.0 connector and a non-USB 2.0 connector, alternatively.

Abstract: An extension to USB includes an insulative tongue portion and a number of contacts held in the insulative tongue portion. The contacts have four conductive contacts and two pairs of differential contacts for transferring differential signals. The four conductive contacts consist of a power contact, a ground contact, a ? data contact and a + data contact. One pair of the differential contacts is located between the power contact and the ? data contact and the other pair of the differential contacts is located between the power contact and the + data contact. The four conductive contacts are for USB protocol and arrangement of the four conductive contacts with the insulative tongue portion is compatible to the standard USB connector. The two pairs of differential contacts are for non-USB protocol. The extension to USB is capable of mated with a commentary standard USB connector and a commentary extension to USB, alternatively.

Abstract: An electrical connector has an insulative housing (10) and a number of electrical contacts (20). The insulative housing has a tongue (14, 15) defining a front face (145) and an upper side and a lower side perpendicular to the front face. The electrical contacts include a number of upper contacts (21) and lower contacts (22). The lower contacts are arranged on the lower side of the tongue and each including a contact section. The upper contacts each includes an extending section (212) arranged on the upper side of the tongue. A contact section (215) is bending from a side edge of the extending section of the upper contact and extending through a passageway (147) of the tongue for arranging on the lower side and avoiding the upper contacts shorting to a metal shell of a mating plug.

Abstract: A pair of mating connectors includes a receptacle having an insulative housing and at least one conductive receptacle contact with a pair of spaced walls forming a plug contact receiving space. The plug connector has an insulative housing and at least one conductive contact having a projection engageable in the plug receiving space of the receptacle contact. The open structure of both the receptacle and plug contacts enhances heat dissipation and allows flexibility in achieving desired contact normal forces. The contact construction is especially useful for electronic power connectors.
