  • Publication number: 20170288360
    Abstract: An electrical connector includes an insulative housing, a number of conductive contacts affixed to the insulative housing, a middle shielding plate affixed to the insulative housing, a shielding shell enclosing the insulative housing for forming a mating room; and an outer metal shell enclosing the shielding shell. The insulative housing has a base portion and a tongue portion extending forwardly from the base portion. The electrical connector further includes a sealer with an o-ring at a front end thereof. The sealer is insert-molded with the shielding shell for forming a waterproof structure enclosing the insulative housing. A front end of the outer metal shell resists the sealer. The outer metal shell encloses the sealer, making the sealer attach to shielding shell firmly. The sealer achieves a good waterproof effect.

  • Patent number: 8601429
    Abstract: An automated system and method for determining flip chip connections involves generating a first projection that includes representations of bumps arranged over a core of the flip chip and generating a second projection that includes representations of I/O pads arranged around the core. The first projection is generated by drawing a line through each bump between a location of the flip chip and an outer portion of the flip chip and marking a location where the line terminates at the outer portion with a representation of the bump. The outer portion of the flip chip is traversed, and the first projection is generated based on the order in which bump representations are encountered. The second projection is generated by drawing a line through each I/O pad between a location of the flip chip and an outer portion of the flip chip and marking a location where the line terminates at the outer portion with a representation of the I/O pad.
