A connector assembly includes a metal shielding cage. The metal shielding cage includes a cage body, a back cover and a grounding member. The cage body has a top wall, a mounting side and two side walls, the top wall, the mounting side and the two side walls together define a receiving space extending along a front-rear direction, the receiving space has a front opening toward the front and a rear opening positioned at the rear, the back cover and the grounding member are assembled at the rear opening of the cage body, and the grounding member is provided with an elastic grounding finger row toward the mounting side.

Electrical connector assemblies are provided that include electrical connectors having electrical contacts that have receptacle mating ends are provided. The connector housings of the provided electrical connectors include alignment members that are capable of performing staged alignment of components of the electrical connector assemblies. The provided electrical connector assemblies and the electrical connectors provided therein are capable of operating at a data transfer rate of forty gigabits per second with worst case multi-active cross talk that does not exceed a range of about two percent to about four percent.

A connector system includes a connector mounted on a circuit board. The circuit board has deeper backdrilled vias and the connector has modified signal terminal that can mate with the backdrilled vias so as to provide a surprising increase in the performance of signal traces provided in the top layers of the circuit board.

A plug-in contact device for preventing or extinguishing an arc when a DC connection is disconnected or closed by using an extension of a line compound includes: at least two connectors at ends of an extension of a line compound, each having a main contact (HA) and an auxiliary contact (HI), the HA of each of the at least two connectors having a first contact half (HA1) and a second contact half (HA2), which are detachably intermateable, the HA: connecting the HA1 and the HA2 in an electrically conductive manner in a mated state of the respective connector, galvanically isolating the HA1 and the HA2 in an unmated state of the respective connector, connecting the HA1 and the HA2 in an electrically conductive manner in a first intermediate state of the respective connector between the mated state and the unmated state, and galvanically isolating the HA1 and the HA2.

The embodiments of the present invention provide a shielded connector having improved shielding effectiveness to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI). Some of the various embodiments provide high-speed electrical connectors capable of carrying gigabyte data rate signals. The shielding may employ, among other things, one or more shielding structures to reduce the EMI associated with these and other signals. The shielding structures may be oriented to reduce or limit the apertures within the connector through which EMI can penetrate. For example, some embodiments for a universal serial bus (USB) connector may support both a USB 3.0 and USB 2.0. For these embodiments, a grounding tab or peg may be placed in the rear of the connector between the USB 3.0 and the USB 2.0 connections to divide the aperture for the port into a plurality of sections. The grounding tab or peg may also serve as a structural support for the connector.

A connector includes a housing, an outer shield including a tubular portion, and a terminal surrounded by the tubular portion of the outer shield. The connector is connected to a mating connector by moving toward the mating connector in a predetermined direction relatively with respect to the mating connector. A first end of the tubular portion of the outer shield is located in the predetermined direction in the tubular portion. The tubular portion of the outer shield has an inner circumferential surface facing a hollow space, an outer circumferential surface opposite to the inner circumferential surface, and a distal end surface provided at the first end. At least one of the distal end surface, the outer circumferential surface, and the inner circumferential surface is seamless over an entire circumference of the tubular portion surrounding the hollow space along a circumferential direction of the tubular portion.
