  • Patent number: 7658646
    Abstract: An electrical connector assembly includes an insulative housing (10) having a forward mating port (100) in a suspension manner, a plurality of recesses (112), arranged in a matrix manner, formed in the housing (10) under the mating port (100) so as to form a plurality of corresponding partitions (111) among the recesses (112) for support of the mating port (10). The matrix array of recesses (112) is arranged to strengthen the rigid of the housing (10) under the mating port (100) so as to prevent the deformation of the mating port (100), which is influenced from the insert force under a condition when the electrical connector mates with a complementary connector.

  • Patent number: 7625245
    Abstract: A low-profile electrical connector mounted on a circuit board includes an insulating body. The insulating body includes a main body portion, a middle portion and a tongue plate. The main body portion has a slot concavely formed in a front end thereof, and at least one sidewall of the slot has a plurality of first terminal receiving grooves formed at intervals therein. The middle portion is formed by a bottom surface of the main body portion partially extending downwards. The tongue plate extends forwards from the middle portion and has a plurality of second terminal receiving grooves formed at intervals therein. A plurality of conductive terminals are respectively correspondingly received in the terminal receiving grooves. Comparing with conventional low-profile electrical connectors, the present invention can not only engage with various butting assemblies, but also save internal space of computers.
