Abstract: A high density electrical connector for electrically connecting an exterior mating connector and a circuit board, mainly comprises an insulative housing, a shell, a plurality of contacts and a spacer. The insulative housing receives the contacts therein and has a pair of two-stage locking means which each includes a first stage and a second stage. The spacer forms a pair of latching portions and defines a plurality of cavities therein. By means of gradual cooperation between the two-stage locking means and the latching portions, the contacts are gradually oriented and guided in two stages by the cavities of the spacer to be precisely inserted into a plurality of apertures formed on the circuit board without resulting in a buckling of the contacts.

Each contact (16) has a mating section (30) adapted to be positioned in the mating end (18) of the connector (10), and an attachment section (32) adapted to be positioned in the connection end (22) of the connector (10). An auxiliary support (52) is securely attached to and substantially disposed within the connection end (22) of the connector (10) for efficiently maintaining the contacts (16) in position especially in the lengthwise direction of the contact (16). A cover (28) is attached to the connection end (22) of the connector (10) wherein the auxiliary support (52)is substantially embedded within the housing (12) and covered by the cover (28).

Abstract: A terminator includes a housing with a standard dimension in either lengthwise or lateral direction for receiving a plurality of contacts therein. A PC board, which is substantially much larger than the housing in the lateral direction, is attached to the housing wherein the contacts extend through the corresponding holes in the PC board. A protective cover is positioned above the PC board for hermetically shielding the inside PC board wherein such cover can be attached to the PC board through the injection molding process, or can be fastened to the high walls which integrally extend from the housing for surrounding the PC board therein.

Abstract: A high pin density electrical connector includes an insulation body having a first surface and a second surface, a metal shield mounted to the first surface of the insulation body, having a plate portion and a shaped frame integrally formed on the plate portion to define a circumferentially surrounded space and a plurality of pin members. The insulation body has two recesses formed on the second surface thereof and a plurality of pin receiving holes formed on a central portion thereof, extending from the first surface to the second surface and having a configuration of figure "8" to receive therein the pin members so as to have a flat leading section of each of the pin members extending into the surrounded space of the shield. The pin members have an intermediate section connected to the leading section along a longitudinal direction to engage and secure within the pin receiving holes and a tailing section having a pin leg to electrically connect to a printed circuit board.

Abstract: An electrical connector (10) includes an insulative housing (12) defining a plurality of passageways (14) therein for receiving therein a plurality of corresponding contacts (40) wherein the tail (42) of each contact (40) extends downward into a corresponding hole disposed in a PC board (100) on which the connector (10) is mounted. Each contact (40) further includes a contact section (44) for engagement with a mating contact of a complementary connector, and a retention section (46) positioned between the contact section (44) and the tail (42) wherein such retention section (46) includes a pair of opposite compliance expansions (47) defining an opening (48) therebetween so that such pair of expansions (47) may abut against the internal walls of the passageway (14) in the housing (12) for retaining the contacts (40) in position in the housing (12).

Abstract: A cable connector used to connecting between a portable communication device and an exterior charger apparatus . The cable connector has a number of contact arranged in a same plane but soldering positions of such contacts are located in different planes that are spaced apart by a larger distance. The contacts are divided into two groups of different contact structures disposed in the housing in an alternate arrangement so that the soldering portion of each contact has a larger space apart from that of the adjacent contacts, and the soldering process of contacts is convenient for manufacturer.

Abstract: A high pin density electrical connector includes an insulation body having a first surface and a second surface, a metal shield mounted to the first surface of the insulation body, having a plate portion and a shaped frame mounted to the plate portion to define a circumferentially surrounded space and a plurality of pin members. The insulation body has formed on the second surface thereof two cavities each having two circumferences along which a plurality of pin receiving holes are formed to extend from the first surface to the cavities. A pin support member having two edges along which slots are formed is snugly received within each of the cavities. The pin members are first received and supported within the slots of the pin support members and then extend through the pin receiving holes to be retained therein so as to have a leading section of each of the pin members extend into the surrounded space of the shield.
