A contact module includes a frame assembly having a leadframe and a dielectric frame partially encasing the leadframe. The leadframe includes ground conductors each having a transition portion extending between a mating end configured to be mated to a mating connector and a terminating end configured to be terminated to one of a circuit board or a cable conductor. The dielectric frame includes dielectric material encasing at least a portion of each transition portion. Each mating end extends from the dielectric frame for connection with the mating connector. Each terminating end extends from the dielectric frame for connection with the circuit board or the cable conductor. The contact module includes resistive elements within the dielectric frame. Each resistive element is coupled in series with the transition portion of the corresponding ground conductor.

A connector assembly includes an adapter connector and two end-connectors. Each connector includes a high-speed differential area and a low-speed area. The high-speed differential area of each end-connector includes an end differential unit. The high-speed differential area of the adapter connector includes an adapter differential module. Each end differential unit and a corresponding adapter differential unit include a signal contact and a ground shielding member. The plug-in parts of the two end-connectors, which are adapted with the adapter connector, are the same in structure, and of the end differential unit and the adapter differential unit, one is a male unit and the other is a female unit in corresponding plug-in fit. Due to the fact that the plug-in parts of the two end-connectors are the same in structure, when the end-connectors are plugged into the adapter connector, identification can be saved, and blind plugging operation can be directly performed.

The present invention relates to a fixed connector including a body fixedly inserted into a substrate, a signal pin having one side inserted into the body and the other side extending from the one side to be disposed on the substrate, and a dielectric coupling the signal pin and the body, wherein a portion of the signal pin has an L shape to be in contact with the substrate, and the portion of the signal pin is exposed to an outside of the body.

The signal transmission paths are transmission path pairs 22, 24 located spaced apart in the arrangement direction of the signal transmission paths 22, 24, the transmission path pairs 22, 24 have two types of pairs, straight pairs 22 and cross pairs 24, the straight pairs 22 and the cross pairs 24 are alternately disposed in the arrangement direction, the signal transmission paths arranged in the arrangement direction form signal transmission path rows, a plurality of the signal transmission path rows are provided, and of two adjacent signal transmission path rows, at least a part of the transmission path pairs 22, 24 of one signal transmission path row in the height direction is offset in the arrangement direction with respect to the transmission path pairs 22, 24 of the other signal transmission path row.

A self-aligning mechanical mount and electrical connection system for an electronic module comprises a mechanical mount assembly configured to be integrated into or attached to a base frame and defining a mount connection position assurance (CPA) feature for self-aligning and securing of the electronic module therein, and an electrical connection assembly configured to be integrated into or attached to the mechanical mount assembly and comprising a modular electrical connector (i) being electrically connected to an electrical backbone wire cable and (ii) defining a connector CPA feature for self-aligning the modular electrical connector with a corresponding electrical connector integrated into or attached to the electronic module when the electronic module is secured in the mechanical mount assembly.

Methods and apparatus that can allow an electronic device housed in a protective accessory to communicate with another electronic device, and are readily manufactured. An example can provide a connector assembly that can include a number of top contacts electrically connected to a corresponding number of bottom contacts. The top contacts can be spaced at a first pitch while the bottom contacts can be spaced at a second pitch, the second pitch different than the first pitch.

According to a certain embodiment, a pin plunger includes: a first contact member; a second contact member that faces the first contact member and is apart from the first contact member; a spring arranged between the first contact member and the second contact member; and a housing that houses the first contact member, the second contact member, and the spring. The housing comprises a bimetal inside or outside the housing. The bimetal comprises a first metal and a second metal, the first metal having a thermal expansion coefficient different from a thermal expansion coefficient of the second metal. The elastic force decreased or increased by contracting or expanding of the spring due to a temperature change is compensated with a warping force due to stretching of the first metal and the second metal.

A socket includes a housing with a bottom plate portion and a frame body portion standing at edges of the bottom plate portion and extending along the edges. The frame body portion serves as a locator in an in-plane direction of the bottom plate portion in mounting an electronic component. The bottom plate portion and the frame body portion are integrally molded into the housing. The socket includes a plurality of contacts supported by the bottom plate portion. The socket includes a spring member including a supported portion supported by a first side of the frame body portion and a spring portion that elastically deforms by being pushed by the electronic component, pressing the electronic component against a second side opposite to the first side.

An engine control system includes an integrated engine control module assembly having an engine control module and an adapter module. The integrated engine control module assembly further includes a first connector, a second connector, and a hermetic enclosure. The first connector includes a connection circuit configured to connect the integrated engine control module assembly to engine hardware. The second connector is configured to connect the adapter module to engine hardware. The hermetic enclosure houses the engine control module and is configured to protect the engine control module from environmental conditions.

A removal mechanism of the daughter board includes a fixed frame, a moving frame, a moved frame and a handle. The fixed frame has a pushed portion. The moving frame is movably coupled to the fixed frame and has an oblique tapered edge. The moved frame is fixed to the daughter board and has a corresponding oblique edge. The handle is rotatably connected to the moving frame and has a pushing portion, and the pushed portion is on a rotation path that the pushing portion rotates with the handle. When the handle is operated, the pushing portion pushes the pushed portion, the moving frame moves relative to the fixed frame to push the corresponding oblique edge by the oblique tapered edge. The moved frame drives the daughter board to be removed from the connector.
