Patent number: 7549868Abstract: A coaxial cable connector includes an insulating housing, a terminal received in the insulating housing and a shell surrounding the insulating housing. The insulating housing has an extending portion and an erect flat portion extending from the extending portion. The extending portion has a bottom wall and two sidewalls. The sidewalls respectively protrude toward each other to form a protruding lump. Two opposite sides of the erect flat portion respectively protrude outward to form a wedge portion. When the flat portion is bent to cover the terminal, the wedge portions are held by the protruding lumps to assure the terminal be held in the insulating housing tightly.Type: GrantFiled: June 9, 2008Date of Patent: June 23, 2009Assignee: Cheng Uei Precision Industry Co., Ltd.Inventor: Hsin-Tsung Ho

Publication number: 20090137133Abstract: F-type right angle jack of tap assembly manufactured in a few steps lowering signal loss ratio comprises a bayonet mount, a male connector axially disposed inside the bayonet mount, a right angle connector is in-line coupled to the male connector, a cubic coupling box, corner legs of a metallic frame inserted onto printed circuit board (PCB). The coupling box is directly formed between the bayonet mount and the male connector by injection molding. The coupling box wraps around a tapered tube of the bayonet mount filled with insulation material. A joint of the right angle connector and the male connector is wrapped around by the coupling box, but a proximal end of the right angle connector is exposed outside the coupling box. And a metallic frame squarish in shape formed by stamping and bending is wrapped around the coupling box to facilitate coaxial cable carries signals without loss.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 26, 2007Publication date: May 28, 2009Inventor: Pony Gou

Patent number: 7530813Abstract: The present invention pertains to a coaxial connector including an insulating base disposing a central terminal passing through a hole thereof to facilitate signal transmission, a first and a second terminals including secure plates to be disposed on a deep slot of the insulating base, a waterproof ring, and a metal shell. Wherein, the secure plates have fixing flanks to strengthen the firmness between the terminals and the insulating base. Wave-shaped contacts with high resilience further protrude from the fixing flanks to prop against or separate from the switch button of the mobile communication device for getting through or disconnecting the communication. Through the highly elastic contacts, the terminals still maintain to firmly contacting with the switch button or rapidly bouncing back even when being subjected to a long-term compression and ensure the stability of the mutual signal transmission among the mobile communication devices.Type: GrantFiled: August 18, 2008Date of Patent: May 12, 2009Assignee: Suyin Electronics (Dongguan) Co., Ltd.Inventors: Chih Hong Tsai, Qing Hai Ou
