Abstract: A cable assembly (1) includes a connector (10) including a connector housing (2) with a plurality of terminals (6) assembled therein, at least a cable (4) including a number of conductive wires (40) electrically connected to the terminals (6). The connector housing (2) defines at least a top surface (204) and a mating face (205) having a jointing line (206) therebetween. A first latch (501) has a first anchoring end (5011) cantilevered from the jointing line (206) and extending upward and backward therefrom and a second latch (503) has a second anchoring end (5031) cantilevered from the jointing line (206) in parallel to the first latch (501), and extending upward and backward therefrom.

Abstract: An electrical connector (100) is provided for mating with a mating connector and includes an insulator (21) having a plurality of passageways (213) defined therein and a number of conductive contacts (22) received in the passageways. Each conductive contact includes a rear fixing portion (221), a front contacting arm (224) projecting beyond the insulator and a spring portion (223) elastically connecting the contacting arm to the fixing portion. The contacting arm has a pair of contacting fingers (225) angled outwardly in a front end thereof. The spring portion is flexed to permit the contacting arm to move in a first direction. Simultaneously, the contacting fingers are forced to move outwardly in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction and wipe along mating contacts 5 of the mating connector.

Abstract: An electrical connector (1) includes an insulative housing (10) having a front wall (110) and a bottom wall (112) perpendicular to the front wall, and a plurality of conductive contacts (20) received in the housing. Each contact has a contacting portion (22), an engaging portion (21) extending from the contacting portion, a soldering portion (25) and a connecting portion (23) connecting the soldering portion with the engaging portion. The connecting portions are hung in the air so that the soldering portions extending from free ends of corresponding connecting portions are elastic to align properly in a common surface.

Abstract: A releasable pick-up device (30) for assisting in positioning an electrical connector (1) on a circuit board by a vacuum-suction nozzle, comprises a rectangular plate (31) having a flat upper surface (311) to be manipulated by the nozzle and an opposite lower surface (312), and a pair of retaining portions (32) extending from opposite transverse sides of the plate. Each retaining portion forms a pair of downwardly projecting legs (320) having a pair of respective retaining feet (321) formed at free ends thereof and protruding in directions opposite to each other.
