  • Patent number: 11201438
    Abstract: An electrical connector includes multiple terminals fixed to an insulating body. Each terminal has a contact portion electrically connected with a mating connector, and a conducting portion located behind the contact portion. The conducting portion extends out of the insulating body and is electrically connected with a circuit board. A grounding shell wraps outside the insulating body. A shielding shell rotates relative to the insulating body between a closed position and an open position. A first end of the shielding shell is electrically connected with the grounding shell. When the shielding shell is at the closed position, a second end of the shielding shell is electrically connected with at least one grounding medium electrically connected with the circuit board. When the shielding shell is at the open position, an observation window is formed between the shielding shell and the grounding medium to expose the conducting portions of the terminals.

  • Patent number: 10784611
    Abstract: An electrical connector assembly includes a plug, having a body and multiple pins positioned on the body, and a socket connector including an insulating body. Each pin has an insertion portion extending downward out of the body. The insertion portion has a guide surface, and two contact regions located above the guide surface. The guide surface passes through a vertical center line of the insertion portion. Multiple accommodating holes run through the insulating body vertically. Multiple terminals are respectively accommodated in the accommodating holes. Each terminal is provided with two clamping portions. The guide surfaces guide the pins to be inserted downward into the accommodating holes. When each pin is inserted downward to a final position, the insertion portion is located between the two clamping portions, the two clamping portions are correspondingly in contact with the two contact regions, and the guide surface is located below the two clamping portions.

  • Publication number: 20190229483
    Abstract: A retaining device includes a first component and a second component. The first component is fixedly provided with a first solderable metal. The second component is provided with a solderable area. A second solderable metal is fixed to the solderable area. The first component and the second component are retained by soldering the second solderable metal to the first solderable metal. By fixing the first component and the second component through soldering of two solderable metals, the quantity of soldering points can be set according to the actual required retaining force between the first component and the second component, thereby ensuring the stable connection between the first component and the second component. Further, the soldering points occupy a small area and can be provided at multiple positions, thereby greatly enhancing the degree of freedom of positions of the two solders, and providing more options.
