  • Patent number: 11476600
    Abstract: An electrical terminal for use with an electrical connector which includes a housing for receiving the electrical terminals therein. The electrical terminals have transition portions and substrate mating portions. The transition portions extend from a rear face of the housing. The substrate mating portions extend from the transition portions. The substrate mating portions have substrate engagement ends configured to be inserted into openings of a substrate. Shoulders are provided on the substrate mating portions. The shoulders are in a different plane than a longitudinal axis of the transition portions. Wherein forces associated with mating the electrical terminals to the substrate are transferred through the shoulders to an insertion tool used to move the terminals into the openings.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10854999
    Abstract: Angled electrical header connectors comprise a housing with a first electrical terminal port and a second electrical terminal port oriented apart from one another. A first electrical terminal is disposed within the first electrical terminal port, and a first electrical insulator is interposed between the first electrical terminal port and the first electrical terminal. A second electrical terminal is disposed within the second electrical terminal port, and a second electrical insulator is interposed between the second electrical terminal port and the second electrical terminal. A passage exists between the first electrical terminal port and the second electrical terminal port, and one of the first electrical terminal or the second electrical terminal extends into the electrical terminal port of the other of the first electrical terminal or the second electrical terminal to make an electrical-mechanical connection therebetween in situ within the housing.

  • Patent number: 10756471
    Abstract: Cable shield grounding electrical connectors comprise a cable having a cable shield, an inner insulating sleeve disposed radially inwardly from the cable shield, and an inner conductor radially inward of the inner insulating sleeve. An inner ferrule includes an outer surface, wherein a portion of the cable shield is disposed along at least a portion of the inner ferrule outer surface. An outer ferrule comprises a first section that is disposed concentrically around the inner ferrule, and wherein the portion of the cable shield is interposed between and in direct contact with each of the inner ferrule and the outer ferrule first section, thereby forming an assembly. The connector comprises a housing having an inner cavity and wherein the assembly is disposed within the inner cavity. An electrically interconnecting element is interposed between the assembly and the housing to provide a grounding electrical connection therebetween.
