  • Patent number: 11522310
    Abstract: An electrical connector with improved high frequency performance. The connector has conductive elements, forming both signal and ground conductors, that have multiple points of contact distributed along an elongated dimension. The ground conductors may be formed with multiple beams of different length. The signal conductors may be formed with multiple contact regions on a single beam, with different characteristics. Signal conductors may have beams that are jogged to provide both a desired impedance and mating contact pitch. Additionally, electromagnetic radiation, inside and/or outside the connector, may be shaped with an insert electrically connecting multiple ground structures and/or a contact feature coupling ground conductors to a stiffener. The conductive elements in different columns may be shaped differently to reduce crosstalk.

  • Patent number: 7147503
    Abstract: An electrical connector comprises a male connector component supporting connecting terminals, which are electrically connected to to-be-connecting terminals of a female connector element, and a cover element attached to the male connector component to the connecting terminals. The male connector component includes a peripheral wall, which forms a cavity for a ferrite member and which includes flexible latches to restrain movement of the ferrite member. The cover element includes an outer peripheral wall adapted for fitting the peripheral wall of the male connector component. The cover element also includes a latching part disposed on an outer surface of the outer peripheral wall and expanding outward. The latching part engages with a recess formed in an opening of the female connector component when the cover element is fitted into the opening together with the male connector component.

  • Patent number: 7125284
    Abstract: The invention relates to an electrical connector for contacting at least one electrical lead and for connection with a complementary connector, to an electrical plug-in connection for connecting at least one electrical lead to an electronic component and to an assembly method for assembling such an electrical connector. In order to provide an electrical connector of the above type and an associated assembly method which ensures simple, inexpensive producibility on the one hand and robust and reliable contactability on the other hand, and which additionally enables the greatest possible miniaturization, the connector (100) comprises a housing (116), in which the contact element (120) is at least partially accommodated and on which there is arranged a terminal cover (118) for covering the terminal area (124), which cover comprises a first lid part (126) and a second lid part (128), which are so constructed that they may both be moved to expose the terminal area (124) during fitting of the electrical lead (104).
