  • Patent number: 7114957
    Abstract: Disclosed is a micro-plug and socket connector that is suitable for mounting on a printed circuit board and that has a plastic housing including a fastening surface with soldering portions for mounting on the surface of the printed circuit board, a plug receiving opening having an inner contact region for the receiving and contacting a pin contact, and an outer contact terminal. The inner contact region, the outer contact terminal, the soldering portions and the electrically conductive connections provided therebetween are formed of metallized portions on the plastic housing.

  • Patent number: 6793501
    Abstract: An electric circuit board component, in particular a RF coaxial connector, in which the housing (1) of the component is fixed on the circuit board (7) by way of solder joints between the SMD solder connections provided on the bottom side (6) of said housing and solder connections assigned thereto on the side of the circuit board, and in which the housing (1), for additionally securing the same to the circuit board (7), has on the bottom side (6) thereof a plurality of solderable bolt pins (11) which engage in continuous plated bolt holes (12) assigned thereto on the circuit board (7) and are soldered in said bolt holes.

  • Publication number: 20040137778
    Abstract: An electrical connector has a first connector member, a second connector member, and a locking ring. The first connector member has a first contact and an abutment surface. The second connector member has a second contact for electrical connection with the first contact and a groove. The locking ring is disposed on the first connector member and has latching fingers. The latching fingers are of at least a first type and a second type. The first type has a different length than the second type so that the first type engages the groove when the abutment surface is a first distance from the groove and the second type engages the groove when the abutment surface is a second distance from the groove when the first and second connector members are mated to lock the first connector member to the second connector member.

  • Patent number: 6132244
    Abstract: A RF coaxial angle-connector part embodied as a coaxial connector-part module having coaxial connector parts disposed at the front in a housing. The metallized-plastic housing has, on a bottom at an edge, a multiplicity of contact bearing feet with bearing surfaces which constitute SMD connections. The contact bearing feet are used both for mounting the housing on a base as well as for conductively connecting the SMD connections to connections that are allocated to the latter on the base. The conductive connections between coaxial inner conductors of the coaxial connector parts and the SMD connections includes insulated metallic inner-conductor connection pieces that have in each case two sections which are disposed essentially perpendicular to one another. The two sections include an inner-conductor plug part and an SMD inner-conductor foot.

  • Patent number: 6071127
    Abstract: An HF coaxial plug connector includes coaxial plugs disposed in a multiple plug housing-coaxial plug module, and coaxial sockets disposed in a multiple socket housing-coaxial socket module for use in circuits, especially in printed circuit board technology. Coaxial outer conductors of the coaxial socket module are at least partly integrated with its housing in the form of sheaths which act as coaxial outer conductors and extend in the housing toward its insertion side for the coaxial plug module. Insulating plastic sheaths which are inserted into these thus-created coaxial outer conductors, receive coaxial inner conductors therein.

  • Patent number: 6050828
    Abstract: An RF coaxial plug connector part includes coaxial plug parts disposed at a front of a housing of a coaxial plug part module mounted on or attached to a board, for example a printed circuit board. The housing has a grid-type frame which defines its external dimensions, is open on all sides, has frame parts that are disposed at right angles to one another, and is made of a first plastic, which cannot be metallized. Free spaces in the grid-type frame are completely filled with cable inserts which are DC-isolated from one another by the frame parts and are made of a second plastic, which can be metallized. At least one coaxial connecting cable, which extends from the front surface to the lower surface of the housing is integrated in each of the cable inserts.

  • Patent number: 6045402
    Abstract: A high-frequency coaxial right-angle connector element has coaxial connecting lines disposed in a housing. The housing is formed from metallized plastic and is provided with many contact bases peripherally on its underside. The contact bases serve to fasten the housing onto or on a board and to connect the coaxial connecting lines with associated terminals on the board. The coaxial connecting lines are inserted into straight tubular leadthroughs in the housing, formed in a plane parallel to the underside of the housing. The leadthroughs have groovelike recesses on the rear of the housing, in which the rear end pieces of the internal conductors extend downwardly out of the housing.
