  • Patent number: 11621528
    Abstract: A connector assembly involving a plug connector that incorporates a photoelectric conversion element that conducts optical/electrical and electrical/optical signal conversion, and an actuation device that drives said photoelectric conversion element, and a receptacle connector mated with said plug connector, with the plug connector and the receptacle connector being electrically connected through mutual contact between terminals, wherein, in the plug connector, the front end side of a fiber optic cable used for optical signal transmission is connected to the rear end side of said plug connector and extends from the rear, lateral terminals are arranged in each of a pair of lateral edge portions that extend in the forward-backward direction, while end terminals are arranged in a front end edge portion 34 that extends perpendicular to the forward-backward direction.

  • Patent number: 11378760
    Abstract: A connector assembly arrangement comprising, disposed on the faces of a circuit board in an electronic device, connector assemblies which, along with having a plug connector that incorporates a photoelectric conversion element capable of converting optical signals and electrical signals from one to the other and a receptacle connector with which said plug connector is mated, have the plug connector and the receptacle connector electrically connected through mutual contact between terminals; wherein the plug connector, from which a fiber optic cable for optical signal transmission that is connected to the photoelectric conversion element extends in one direction from said plug connector, also has terminals connected to the above-mentioned photoelectric conversion element; the fiber optic cable is a single fiber optic cable; and a plurality of connector assemblies are disposed on at least one of the two faces of the circuit board.

  • Patent number: 11201439
    Abstract: In the plug connector, the front end side of a fiber optic cable used for optical signal transmission is connected to, and rearwardly extends from, the rear end side of said plug connector and lateral terminals are arranged in each of a pair of lateral edge portions that extend in the forward-backward direction; at least one of the plug connector and receptacle connector has provided therein resilient members that generate a biasing force between the plug connector and receptacle connector in the forward-backward direction; and, a restricting portion, which provides a limiting value for the distance of relative displacement of the plug connector with respect to the receptacle connector in the direction of the biasing force under the action of the above-mentioned biasing force, is formed in the receptacle connector, and a restricted portion is formed in the plug connector.
