Patent number: 9312640Abstract: An assembly is disclosed herein, including a connector and a carrier for carrying the connector. The connector includes a plurality of terminals having terminal contacts, a first shield at least partially surrounding at least one first terminal and having a first shield contact and a second shield at least partially surrounding at least one second terminal and having a second shield contact. The carrier includes a plurality of signal conductors, e.g. being a circuit board or a connector body. The carrier also includes a plurality of, advantageously substantially identical, contact sites. The terminal contacts are contacted to a number of the contact sites of the carrier, and the first and second shield contacts are arranged adjacent each other so that they together fit and are contacted to one contact site of the carrier.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2011Date of Patent: April 12, 2016Assignee: FCIInventors: Ludwig Lange, Winnie Heyvaert, Thierry Goossens, Robert Van Den Heuvel

Patent number: 7727019Abstract: The invention relates to a circuit board connector capable of establishing an electrical connection between circuits on a circuit board and a mating electrical connector at a mating side of said circuit board connector. The circuit board connector includes a connector housing accommodating a plurality of terminals for establishing said electrical connection and an electrically conductive shell at least partially enclosing said connector housing. The shell includes a top wall and a rear wall, wherein said rear wall is connected to said top wall and is arranged opposite to said mating side. The shell further has a first and second extension connected to opposite sides of said rear wall and bent with respect to said rear wall to extend towards said mating side. First and second mounting posts are connected, respectively, to said first and second extension and third and fourth mounting posts are connected to said rear wall, wherein said mounting posts are arranged for mounting said shell on said circuit board.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2006Date of Patent: June 1, 2010Assignee: FCIInventors: Gert Droesbeke, Robert Van Den Heuvel, Nico Van Stiphout, Bernard Vuillaume, Michel Fonteneau
