Abstract: A floatable electrical connector assembly comprises a fixed housing (10) defining a front receiving frame (112) having an edge section (113). A movable housing (20) is discretely and movably attached to the fixed housing (10) in an up-to-down direction and adapted to be rested on the edge section of the receiving frame. One of the movable housing and the fixed housing defines a mating bar (217) while the other one of the movable housing and the fixed housing has a receiving slot (119) defining an enclosed boundary for receipt of the mating bar so as to permit the movable housing stably movable relative to the fixed housing in the up-to-down direction.

Abstract: An electrical connector (2, 3) provides an interface compatible with an internal micro Serial ATA connector. The electrical connector (2, 3) includes an insulated housing (21, 31), a first number of contacts (221, 222, 223, 321, 322, 323) assembled to the insulated housing (21, 31); and a second number of contacts (224, 225, 324, 325) assembled to the insulated housing (21, 31). The first number of contacts (221, 222, 223, 321, 322, 323) constitute a power segment and a signal segment compatible with the internal micro Serial ATA connector. The second number of contacts (224, 225, 324, 325) is used for mating with a new type of mating connector (3, 2) when higher transfer speed is needed.

Abstract: A USB connector includes a plug comprising an insulative member, a mating member, a first conductor assembly, two elongate flexible members, a metal case member comprising inner and outer pieces, and a plastic housing for enclosing the case member and comprising upper and lower shells; and a jack comprising a shield shell, an insulative unit, and a second conductor assembly. The flexible long member includes a U-shaped member formed by bending its one end, a claw at the other long end, a toothed member at one end, a protuberance proximate the U-shaped member opposite the toothed member, and a flexible arm extended between the claw and the protuberance. Inserting the arms through the insulative member will sandwich either claw between a latch and the shield shell, rest the arms on grooves, fasten the protuberances in slots, and fasten the toothed members in tunnels for assembling a main portion of the plug.

Abstract: The present invention provides a shielding shell structure for an electrical connector. The shielding shell encloses the terminal seat formed by a housing and terminals to constitute the electrical connector. The shielding shell has flanges on its bottom, which could engage with the circuit board so as to intensify the shielding shell and to prevent the shielding shell of the electrical connector from deforming for the outer force during plug/unplug process.

Abstract: Provided is a parallelepiped electrical connector shell with a terminal seat enclosed therein. The shell is mountable on a PCB and is adapted to connect to a port of a mating connector. The shell comprises a first latch on a top surface for engaging with a recess on a mating connector shell, two second latches on a top surface for clamping the mating connector, and a punched out stop mechanism inwardly extended from the shell. A distance from the stop mechanism to the port is a predetermined insertion depth of the mating connector. The invention can limit the insertion depth. Also, it can prevent a housing from displacing due to an excessive insertion force exerted by the mating connector.
