Patent number: 8801459Abstract: The invention relates to a coaxial connector (1), comprising a first and a second connector part (2, 3) and an adapter (4) arranged therebetween. The first and the second connector part (2, 3) include a first inner conductor (5) and a first outer conductor (8), including a first internal cylindrical contact surface (24) and a second internal cylindrical contact surface (25), respectively. In a socket area (17) of the first inner conductor (5), a first mechanical operative-connection means interacts with a second mechanical operative-connection means (11) in the installed state in order to establish a mechanical connection (13) that is effective in the axial direction (z). The first inner conductor (5) protrudes beyond the level of the mechanical operative-connection means (10, 11) so the internal cylindrical contact surface (24) is able to compensate a large axial offset (dz) of the connector parts (2, 3) relative to the adapter (4).Type: GrantFiled: January 25, 2010Date of Patent: August 12, 2014Assignee: Huber+Suhner AGInventor: Eckhard Mrowka

Patent number: 8804356Abstract: A mounting apparatus for an expansion card includes a bottom plate, a circuit board, and mounting bracket. The bottom plate defines mounting hole. The circuit board is secured to the bottom plate, and a gap is defined between the bottom plate and the circuit board. The mounting bracket includes a base secured to the bottom plate. The base includes two positioning pieces and an elastically deformable mounting portion. The two positioning pieces are received in the gap, to prevent the mounting bracket from moving along a first direction substantially perpendicular to the bottom plate, and the elastically deformable mounting portion is engaged in the mounting hole, to prevent the mounting bracket from moving along a second direction substantially parallel to the bottom plate.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 2012Date of Patent: August 12, 2014Assignee: Hon Hai Precision Industry Co., Ltd.Inventors: Lung-Sheng Tsai, Yao-Chung Chen

Patent number: 8777637Abstract: A connector for connecting a coaxial cable and a circuit board is disclosed. The connector includes a main body, a first holding portion, a second holding portion and a fixing structure. The first holding portion extends from a first end portion of the main body for holding a first insulation layer of the coaxial cable. The second holding portion extends from the main body in a position located between a second end portion opposite to the first end portion and the first holding portion for holding a braid layer of the coaxial cable. The fixing structure extends from the second end portion of the main body in a direction away from the second holding portion for disposing through at least one hole on the circuit board, so as to fix the coaxial cable on the circuit board.Type: GrantFiled: July 10, 2012Date of Patent: July 15, 2014Assignee: Wistron CorporationInventors: Rong-Cheng Sun, Cheng-Shing Liu
