Patent number: 8309868Abstract: The invention relates to a Switch connector for mounting on a printed circuit board, adapted to receive a mating connector in an insertion direction along an insertion axis. The switch connector comprises a shield, a contact element, and a contact spring having at least one fixed leg, at least one elastically deflectable switching leg, and at least one spring bend, the fixed leg and the switching leg extending from the spring bend in a common direction and passing the insertion axis. The switching leg is adapted to be moved by insertion of the mating connector from a rest position, at which the switching leg exerts a spring force onto the contact element, to a switching position, at which the switching leg is spaced apart from the contact element, at least one spring force flux that in the rest position is generated by the switching leg and guided in a closed loop to the fixed leg. To increase the reliability of the switching function, the shield is arranged in the closed loop of the spring force flux.Type: GrantFiled: May 28, 2010Date of Patent: November 13, 2012Assignee: Tyco Electronics Nederland BVInventors: Jacobus Nicolaas Tuin, Juergen Haans, Jeroen Dittner, Jan Broeksteeg, Dennis Halberstadt, Yves Braem, Patrick Marcel Duquerroy, Lieven DeCrock

Patent number: 8011939Abstract: The invention relates to a coaxial connector (1) for mounting on a printed circuit board adapted to receive a mating coaxial connector in an insertion direction (I). The coaxial connector comprises a contact spring (8) having a fixed leg (16) and an deflectable switching leg (15). The switching leg (15) is moved by insertion of the mating connector from a rest position to a switching position. In rest position said switching leg electrically conductively presses against the switch portion (19) of the contact element (10). The spring force flux (F) is guided via a contact element (10) in a closed loop back to the contact spring (8). In switching position the switching leg (15) is spaced apart in an switching direction (D) from the switch portion (19) by the inserted mating connector.Type: GrantFiled: March 3, 2009Date of Patent: September 6, 2011Assignees: Tyco Electronics AMP GmbH, Tyco Electronics Nederland BV, Tyco Electronics Belgium EC NVInventors: Yves Braem, Lieven Decrock, Johannes Mariunus Den Otter, Patrick Marcel Duquerroy, Dennis Halberstadt, Jacobus Nicolaas Tuin

Patent number: 7473138Abstract: An electrical connector includes a dielectric housing provided with a plurality of contact modules. Each of the contact modules is provided with a lead frame having mounting contacts electrically connected to mating contacts by signal conductors and ground conductors that extend along a predetermined path within the contact module. The lead frames in adjacent contact modules alternate between a first pattern and a second pattern. The first pattern and the second pattern each have pairs of signal conductors and individual ground conductors arranged in an alternating sequence. Each of the ground conductors has a width transverse to the predetermined path that is substantially equal to a combined width transverse to the predetermined path across the pair of signal conductors in the adjacent contact module such that the ground conductor shields the pair of signal conductors in the adjacent contact module.Type: GrantFiled: May 24, 2006Date of Patent: January 6, 2009Assignee: Tyco Electroics Nederland B.V.Inventors: Jacobus Nicolaas Tuin, Yves Braem, Johannes Marcelus Broeksteeg, Marcus Mybrand Wilhelmus Gosselink
