  • Publication number: 20190214767
    Abstract: An electrical plug connector includes an insulated housing, contact terminals held in the insulated housing, an outer shell covering the insulated housing, and hook members. First buckle structures are at side arms at two sides of the insulated housing. Each of the hook members includes a second buckle structure mating with the corresponding first buckle structure. The buckle structures are of crescent shapes and mated with each other. When the press portion of the hook member is pressed by an excessive force, the first/second buckle structure stops the second/first buckle structure to prevent the elastic arm of the hook member from deforming. When the elastic arm is bounced back excessively, the first/second buckle structure stops the second/first buckle structure to prevent the hook member from detaching off the side arm.

  • Publication number: 20190201948
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for cleaning a glass substrate is disclosed, the apparatus including a shroud assembly arranged along a conveyance path of a glass substrate such that an opening of shroud portion of the shroud assembly is adjacent the glass substrate. A nozzle assembly contained within a hollow interior space of the shroud assembly rotates while directing a jet of gas at the glass substrate, dislodging particulate. A vacuum is applied to a second interior hollow space defined by a skirt portion extending around the shroud, thereby removing the dislodged particulate. A second vacuum is applied to a back portion of the shroud to remove particulate accumulated in the shroud. The apparatus may further include a gas knife arranged adjacent the shroud assembly and a vacuum channel arranged below the shroud assembly.

  • Patent number: 10218134
    Abstract: An electrical receptacle connector includes a metallic shell, an insulated housing, first receptacle terminals, second receptacle terminals, a shielding plate, and a terminal organizer. The insulated housing is in the receptacle cavity of the metallic shell. The first receptacle terminals are assembled with the insulated housing. The second receptacle terminals are assembled with the terminal organizer. The insulated housing and the terminal organizer are assembled with each other. The shielding plate is between the first receptacle terminals and the second receptacle terminals. The terminal organizer extends the fixation portion attaching to the front portions of the second receptacle terminals, so that the front portions of the second receptacle terminals are securely held on the tongue portion. Therefore, when the terminal organizer is deformed due to heating, the front portions of the second receptacle terminals can be still fixed on the tongue portion without being deflected upwardly.
