The sustaining portion and an object below have a gap therebetween. The static terminal and the movable terminal are fixed to the insulating body. An elastic arm is formed by extending from the second contact portion. The sustaining portion engages the elastic arm. When the mating device is inserted into the coaxial connector, the mating device presses the elastic arm downwards, the second contact portion moves downwards to be separated from the first contact portion, and the elastic arm drives the sustaining portion to move downwards together, such that the sustaining portion butts against the object below to prevent the movable terminal from moving downwards excessively.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 7, 2014Publication date: March 12, 2015Applicant: LOTES CO., LTDInventors: Shang Ju Tsai, Yan Xian Yuan, Hua Hui Zhi, Chun Yu Peng

Publication number: 20150064943Abstract: An attachment structure for use with a standalone control unit. The control unit includes a threaded insert located in an enclosed cavity which allows screws to be used for grounding of an EMI/RFI board, along with creating a sealed, enclosed pocket. The attachment structure allows for grounding of the PCB to the sheet metal base plate without creating a leak path to the outside of the control unit. This ground approach encapsulates the screw to prevent the formation of a leak path.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 23, 2014Publication date: March 5, 2015Inventors: Wayne J. Wright, Donald J.
