    Abstract: A receptacle connector includes an insulating body having a base portion, and a shell enclosing the insulating body. Two opposite side surfaces of the base portion respectively define an inserting passage extending longitudinally and having a front end opened freely. A front of each inserting passage is provided with a preventing block. A fixing cavity is formed in a rear of the inserting passage by the partition of the preventing block. The preventing block has a guiding surface inclined outward from front to rear. The shell has two side boards against the corresponding side surfaces of the base portion. Two fixing portions are protruded inwardly from two substantially corresponding portions of two bottom edges of the side boards for gliding along the corresponding guiding surfaces in the respective inserting passages to buckle into the corresponding fixing cavities and then restrained by the preventing blocks in the fixing cavities.

  • Patent number: 7845981
    Abstract: In order to simplify the assembly of a shielded connector, it is proposed that an electrically insulating base body provided as a carrier for electric contacts features a mounting surface with two openings, wherein a recess that respectively features an integral collar on its inner side is respectively arranged around these openings. In addition, the base body is provided with lateral fastening elements that respectively feature a window formed by a frame. The frame can be positively fitted into the appropriate recess by bending the fastening elements such that the fastening element is positively and non-positively fixed on the base body. An electrically conductive shielding element that largely surrounds the base body contacts the fastening elements that, in turn, contact ground strips on the circuit board such that the connector is shielded from external voltages.

  • Publication number: 20100297879
    Abstract: A connector includes an insulating housing, a metal shell that covers the insulative housing, and a switch. The switch includes a fixed contact and a movable contact. The fixed contact is formed by partially bending a rear end of a top surface of a metal shell downward. The metal shell covers an insulating housing to be mated with a mating connector. The movable contact extends while having a fixed end held by the insulating housing, and bifurcates at an approximate midpoint of the movable contact. The movable contact has, at one free end, an attachment section that abuts a mating connector approaching in a mating direction and a contacting section, at an opposite free end, that contacts the fixed contact when the attachment section is pushed by the mating connector.

  • Publication number: 20100159744
    Abstract: In order to simplify the assembly of a shielded connector, it is proposed that an electrically insulating base body provided as a carrier for electric contacts features a mounting surface with two openings, wherein a recess that respectively features an integral collar on its inner side is respectively arranged around these openings. In addition, the base body is provided with lateral fastening elements that respectively feature a window formed by a frame. The frame can be positively fitted into the appropriate recess by bending the fastening elements such that the fastening element is positively and non-positively fixed on the base body. An electrically conductive shielding element that largely surrounds the base body contacts the fastening elements that, in turn, contact ground strips on the circuit board such that the connector is shielded from external voltages.
