Abstract: A connector includes a housing, a row of terminals disposed in the housing, and a grounding member having a flat body extending across the row of terminals. The row of terminals has a pair of signal terminals and a pair of grounding terminals located on opposite sides of the pair of the signal terminals. The flat body at least partially covers the pair of signal terminals. The grounding member has a plurality of grounding arms extending from a plane of the flat body. Each of the grounding arms abuts against one of the grounding terminals.

Abstract: An electrical connector includes a housing, first and second rows of terminals arranged in the housing, and a ground shield assembly. The first and second rows of terminals are separated from each other and adapted to electrically connect with corresponding terminals of a mated electrical connector. The first and second rows of terminals each include a ground terminal connected to a ground layer of a circuit board and a signal terminal connected to a signal lead wire of the circuit board. The ground shield assembly is positioned between the signal terminal of the first row of terminals and the signal terminal of the second row of terminals and is electrically connected to the ground layer. The ground shield assembly is in electrical contact with a corresponding ground terminal at at least one position of each of at least one ground terminal of the first and/or second row of terminals.

Abstract: An electrical connector assembly includes a socket connector and a plug connector pluggably connected to the socket connector. The socket connector includes a first housing, a plurality of first signal contacts within the first housing, a plurality of first ground contacts within the first housing, and a first common ground member within the first housing. The first common ground member implements a common grounding of the first ground contacts. The plug connector includes a second housing, a plurality of second signal contacts in the second housing, a plurality of second ground contacts in the second housing, and a second common ground member in the second housing. The second common ground member implements a common grounding of the second ground contacts. The first common ground member and the second common ground member are in a detachable contact connection.

Abstract: A connector assembly comprises a connector including an insulating housing formed with a slot extending in a longitudinal direction and having at least one open end. A first circuit board is inserted into the slot and includes an electrical contact pad for electrically contacting a conductive terminal arranged within the slot, the electrical contact pad of the first circuit board extends in the longitudinal direction outside of the insulating housing of the connector via the open end of the slot.

Abstract: A plug connector includes a plug housing having a plurality of side walls forming a cavity, a spacer having a plate shape and dividing the cavity into a pair of halves, a plurality of conductive terminals disposed on opposite sides of the spacer, a connector engagement component, and a pull tab. The connector engagement component has a first engagement portion releasably engaging a second engagement portion of a socket connector and a fixing portion detachably secured to the side walls of the plug housing. The pull tab is movable between the plug housing and the connector engagement component in a direction towards or away from a cable connected to the conductive terminals. Pulling of the pull tab in a pulling direction towards the cable enables release of an engagement between the first engagement portion and the second engagement portion, separating the plug connector from the socket connector.
