Abstract: A receptacle terminal for receipt of a mating terminal therein. The receptacle terminal has a contact portion including a bottom wall and resilient contact arms which extend from the bottom wall. The resilient contact arms have resilient contact sections and mating terminal engagement members. The mating terminal engagement members have a projection receiving opening. A spring arm extends from the bottom wall toward the mating terminal engagement members. The spring arm has a projection which extends from the spring arm to create a raised area on an inner surface of the spring arm to engage the mating terminal. Prior to the receipt of the mating terminal, the projection of the spring arm is positioned in the projection receiving opening of the mating terminal engagement members, allowing the portions of the spring arm to be positioned proximate the mating terminal engagement members.

Abstract: A connector module for receiving a signal converter and electrically connecting the signal converter to a printed circuit board mounted within an electronic system. The connector module includes a conductive cage having a plurality of press-fit type pins and a shielding lid. The connector module further defines a top opening and a cavity with an opening on a bottom portion of the conductive cage for receiving the connector which electrically connecting with the signal converter. The shielding lid covers on the top opening. The connector comprises a plurality of contacts each having a press-fit end, said press-fit ends extending toward the printed circuit board and mounting therein.

Abstract: An electrical connector (1) for contacting with a complementary connector includes an insulative housing (2), a number of terminals (3) retained in the insulative housing and a shield (4) enclosing the insulative housing. The shield includes a keying means (416, 418,) extending outwardly from a surface thereof for engaging with the complementary connector.
