Abstract: A connector assembly comprises a connector including an insulating housing formed with a slot extending in a longitudinal direction and having at least one open end. A first circuit board is inserted into the slot and includes an electrical contact pad for electrically contacting a conductive terminal arranged within the slot, the electrical contact pad of the first circuit board extends in the longitudinal direction outside of the insulating housing of the connector via the open end of the slot.

Abstract: A plug connector includes a plug housing having a plurality of side walls forming a cavity, a spacer having a plate shape and dividing the cavity into a pair of halves, a plurality of conductive terminals disposed on opposite sides of the spacer, a connector engagement component, and a pull tab. The connector engagement component has a first engagement portion releasably engaging a second engagement portion of a socket connector and a fixing portion detachably secured to the side walls of the plug housing. The pull tab is movable between the plug housing and the connector engagement component in a direction towards or away from a cable connected to the conductive terminals. Pulling of the pull tab in a pulling direction towards the cable enables release of an engagement between the first engagement portion and the second engagement portion, separating the plug connector from the socket connector.

Abstract: A connector is provided and includes a bottom, a top case positioned above the bottom case, and a partition is positioned between the top case and the bottom case. A plurality of ports is provided between the top case and the bottom case and the ports are separated by the partition. A temperature exchange device is mounted on the bottom case.

Abstract: A connector housing assembly is disclosed having a housing, a plurality of compressible heat conducting members and a monolithic heat sink. The housing has a first direction corresponding to a height direction of the housing, a second direction parallel to a heat generating module insertion direction, and a third direction perpendicular to the first direction and the second direction. The housing includes a plurality of module receiving ports positioned side by side in the third direction, a plurality of conductor receiving spaces corresponding to the plurality of module receiving ports respectively, and a heat sink installation surface. The plurality of compressible heat conducting members are positioned in the plurality of conductor receiving spaces respectively, each having an elasticity in the first direction. The monolithic heat sink is positioned on a heat sink installation surface of the housing, covering and in surface-contact with the plurality of compressible heat conducting members.

Abstract: A connector assembly is disclosed having a circuit board with a side edge; one or more light emitting devices connected to the side edge of the circuit; and a connector. The connector has a support frame, and one or more light guide assemblies positioned on the support frame adjacent to the side edge of the circuit board.

Abstract: A connector for receiving a plurality of plugs is provided. The connector includes a cage, a plurality of partition plates, a plurality of partition sections, and a heat conduction apparatus. The cage includes a plurality of plug receiving passageways arranged along two rows stacked on top of each other.
