Abstract: An exemplary connector insert assembly, and methods of manufacture and use thereof. In one embodiment, the connector insert assembly comprises an insert body assembly consisting of two insert body elements made from a high-temperature polymer. The insert body assembly includes an electronic component receiving cavity that is configured to receive any number of electronic components, including without limitation, chip chokes and wire wound electronic components. The insert body assembly includes a wire termination feature that includes termination slots that position the wire ends of the wire wound electronic components adjacent to a substrate to which the wire ends are ultimately to be secured. The wire ends are then secured to the substrate using, for example, a mass termination technique. The aforementioned connector insert assembly can then be inserted into a single or multi-port connector assembly. Methods of manufacturing the aforementioned single or multi-port connector assemblies are also disclosed.

Abstract: An electronic circuit storage case includes a housing made of resin and having a case portion storing an electronic circuit board and a connector portion extending in a direction perpendicular to a board attachment surface of the case portion and incorporating a connector. Interior and exterior opening holes communicate at bottoms via a communication hole. A ventilating hole continuing from the interior of the case portion to the exterior of the connector portion is provided in a solid portion of the housing. The interior opening hole and the communication hole are bent in an L shape and provided to a primary resin mold part forming the housing. The exterior opening hole is provided to a secondary resin mold part of the housing enclosing the primary resin mold part and forming the connector and case portions so as to communicate with one end of the L-shaped communication hole substantially perpendicularly.

Abstract: An electrical connector includes a main housing, an inner housing assembled in the main housing, and a plurality of conductive terminals of which each has a fastening arm molded in the inner housing, a contact arm and a touching arm perpendicular to the contact arm. The contact arms are apart arranged along a transverse direction in front of the inner housing. The touching arms are apart arranged along a longitudinal direction at one side of the inner housing. In use, the touching arms of the conductive terminals are elastically against and further pressed downward by a circuit board to realize electrical connection with the circuit board. It is rather short-time and convenient for mounting the circuit board to the electrical connector. Moreover, the touching arms of the conductive terminals are easily removed from the circuit board for the convenience of replacing the electrical connector when it doesn't work.

A flexible circuit board between the shielding case and the housing having a substrate, a plurality of vias extending through the substrate with each via being configured to accommodate a pin on the housing, a plurality of traces on a first side of the substrate, with each trace extending from a corresponding one of the plurality of vias, and a shielding plane on a second side of the substrate opposite the first side of the substrate.

Abstract: An electromagnetic shield comprises a sheet of metal having slots along an edge of the sheet to form a plurality of resilient fingers. The single sheet is bent around first and second bends axes inwardly and approximately ninety degrees to form a top planar surface and first and second side walls. The single sheet of metal is sized and dimensioned to receive a connector in between the first and second side walls and top planar surface. The fingers are bent outward with a bend radius of approximately 0.020 inches with respect to a flat surface of the sidewalls and top planar surface. The fingers apply a biasing force against a surface of a faceplate. Each of the side walls includes an elongated leg, which is interconnected with a circuit board and each of the elongated legs extends beyond a bottom edge of each of the side walls.

Abstract: A connector with storage function includes a housing, a seat body, a terminal group, a storage module, and a cover. The housing has a receptacle at a front end, and an opening at a rear end. The seat body is disposed in the housing, and includes a block. The block has a supporting portion and a plurality of slots. The terminal group is disposed on the supporting portion and in the slot. The terminal group further includes a hollow opening at a rear end. The storage module electrically connects with the terminal group, and has a printed circuit board disposed thereon. The printed circuit board electrically connects with a storage unit. The cover has a first cover and a second cover and is disposed in the hollow opening of the seat body. The connector not only stores data required by electronic product, but also increases storage capacity of the electronic product.

Abstract: An electrical connector with improved crosstalk compensation is disclosed. By including at least one coupling with a different frequency dependency than other couplings in the connector, crosstalk compensation performance is improved over a greater frequency range. The different frequency dependency may, for example, be used to compensate for phase shifts caused by distances between compensation circuitry and the plug/jack interface. Embodiments for decreasing these distances are also disclosed.

Abstract: A data storage system for removably storing information is disclosed. The data storage system includes a cartridge receptacle adapted to electrically and mechanically engage a removable data cartridge. The cartridge receptacle includes a second electrical connector and a conductive member. The second electrical connector is adapted to electrically engage a first electrical connector of the removable data cartridge. The conductive member is configured to engage a resistive portion of the removable data cartridge before the first and second electrical connectors engage. The conductive member is coupled to a ground of the cartridge receptacle.

Abstract: Communications connectors are disclosed that include a housing having an upper end and a lower end, the upper end of the housing including a plurality of slits that define a plurality of pillars. First and second pairs of tip and ring insulation displacement contacts (IDCs) are mounted in the housing. Each of the IDCs has an upper end that has a first slot, a lower end that has a second slot and an intermediate portion between the upper end and the lower end, the lower end being offset from the upper end. The first slot of each IDC is aligned with a respective one of the slits. The housing further includes through slots that are separated by dividers, where each of the through slots is sized to receive the upper end of a respective one of the IDCs, and each slit of the plurality of slits exposes inner edges of the first slot of a respective one of the IDCs.

Abstract: A connector has a combination of a terminal set and a back cover together disposed inside a shell, where the shell and the back cover are further covered by a metal mask. The terminal set consists of at least one connecting port. The connecting port includes a circuit board and a hollow pin base disposed on the circuit board. The front side wall of the pin base is formed with a grating part so that the hollow part of the pin base has a larger space to accommodate electronic devices. A ground window is formed on the back cover so that the ground node of the circuit board is directly exposed. The metal mask is thus directly in touch with the ground node to simply the assembly process of the connector.

Abstract: A connector has a socket, a circuit board, a capacitor and a casing. The socket has an inner end and a sidewall. The circuit board is mounted transversely in the socket near the inner end and has an inner surface and an outer surface. The capacitor is mounted on the inner surface of the circuit board and has two leads. One lead extends around the inner end of the socket and against the outside surface of the sidewall. The casing covers the socket and clamps the lead against the outside surface of the sidewall to form the grounding device.
