Patent number: 9614309Abstract: An electric connector assembly includes an intermediate connector for connecting the first mating connector to the second mating connector to facilitate connections between two circuit boards, which includes a power supply terminal having a main body portion and a flange portion having a larger width than the main body portion; an outer housing including a first inner housing portion affixed to the outer housing, the first inner housing portion having a first terminal penetrating portion configured to engage with the main body portion of a power supply terminal and latching portions. The intermediate connector also includes a second inner housing portion configured to align with the first inner housing portion that has engaging portions configured to engage the second inner housing portion to the outer housing via the latching portions; and a second terminal penetrating portion, configured to engage with the main body portion of the power supply terminal.Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 2016Date of Patent: April 4, 2017Assignee: Hirose Electric Co., Ltd.Inventors: Richard Miklinski, Jr., Jeremy Yasuhiro Huang, William John MacKillop

Patent number: 7625216Abstract: Provided is an electrical connector having first and second surfaces and configured to establish electrical communication between two or more electrical devices. The electrical connector includes an insulative housing and a resilient, conductive contact retained in an aperture disposed from the first surface to the second surface. To contact the electrical devices, the contact includes a center portion from which extends two diverging, cantilevered spring arms that project beyond either surface of the electrical connector. To shorten the path that current must travel through the contact, one spring arm terminates in a bellows leg that extends proximate to the second spring arm. When placed between the electrical devices, the spring arms are deflected together causing the bellows leg to press against the second spring arm. For retaining the contact within the aperture, the contact also includes retention members extending from the center portion that engage the insulative housing.Type: GrantFiled: September 8, 2006Date of Patent: December 1, 2009Assignee: Cinch Connectors, Inc.Inventors: David W. Mendenhall, Hecham K. Elkhatib, Richard Miklinski, Jr., Alan A. Raclawski
