Abstract: An electrical connector includes: a housing extending along a longitudinal direction; and a row of first terminals retained in the housing and including plural signal terminals and plural grounding terminals, each first terminal including a plate portion and a leg portion extending out of the housing, the plate portion defining an outer face exposed upon the housing and an inner face opposite the outer face, the outer face of the plate portion of the first terminal defining a mating face, wherein a transmission line is formed on the housing by laser direct structuring, and the transmission line is electrically connected to plural ground terminals to connect plural ground terminals in series.

Abstract: A coaxial connector assembly includes: a coaxial connector having an upper mating cavity, a lower mating cavity, and a center pin with a lower pin end extending in the lower mating cavity; and a coaxial socket adapted for being received in the lower mating cavity of the coaxial connector, the socket having: an insulating base having a mating face and a mating hole through the mating face and defining a central axis; and a terminal retained in the insulating base and having plural elastic arms with contacting portions extending into the mating hole for contacting with the lower pin end of the center pin, at least one of the contacting portions of the terminal being located nearer to the mating face than other contacting portions of the terminal.

Abstract: An electrical connector includes: an insulative base; a fixed terminal secured to the insulative base; and a movable terminal including a securing portion fixed to the insulative base, a connecting portion, a contacting portion in touch with the fixed terminal, a first and a second beams at two opposite sides of the connecting portion, and a tail, wherein at least one of the first and second beams has a first portion substantially perpendicular to the connecting portion and a second portion substantially parallel to the connecting portion.

Abstract: An electrical connector includes an insulative housing defining a number of receiving grooves, a number of terminals secured to the insulative housing, and a number of conductive balls received in the receiving grooves. Each receiving groove defines a through hole. Each conductive ball is urged by a corresponding terminal to partially protrude from an associated through hole.

Abstract: An electronic device includes: a framework; a number of modules assembled detachably to the framework; and a number of latching portions assembling the modules on the framework. Each latching portion includes a ball spring beam having a first positioning portion and a first contacting beam, a reinforcement beam having a second positioning portion attached to the first positioning portion and a second contacting beam spaced from the first contacting beam, and a screw affixing the first positioning portion and the second positioning portion to the framework. The first contacting beam has a tuber mated with the module.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing an electrical connector including the steps of: insert-molding a base portion around a shielding plate to form two rows of passageways exposing outwardly and rearwardly; over-molding an insulative housing at a rear of the base portion; and inserting two rows of terminals through the insulative housing to the two rows of passageways, respectively.

Abstract: An electrical connector (100) includes a shielding plate (1), a base portion (2) insert molded with the shielding plate and defining two rows of passageways (21), two rows of terminals (3) affixed to the base portion, and an insulative housing (4) over molded with the base portion. The two rows of passageways extend through the base portion along a front-to-back direction and exposed completely upwardly and downwardly. Each terminal includes a contacting beam (31) having a contacting portion (311). The shielding plate is located between the two rows of terminals.
