A lens assembly includes a lens, a lens barrel, and a heater element. The lens has an inner surface and an outer surface. The lens barrel supports the lens and defines an optical axis, the lens arranged along the optical axis such that the inner surface of the lens is within the lens barrel and the outer surface of the lens is outside the lens barrel. The heater element is in intimate mechanical communication with the inner surface of the lens and has a heater element electrical lead extending radially therefrom to provide power to the heater element. Lens heating methods are also described.

A cable socket connector assembly for an electronic system includes a socket assembly having a socket substrate including socket substrate conductors. The socket assembly has socket contacts extending between terminating ends and mating ends with the terminating ends terminated to corresponding socket substrate conductors and the mating ends configured to be terminated to corresponding package contacts of an electronic package of the electronic system. The cable socket connector assembly includes a cable assembly terminated to the socket assembly having an array of cables each having a cable conductor terminated to a corresponding socket substrate conductor.

The invention provides a shield shell that allows easy insertion of a circuit board or other insulator into the shield shell. A shield shell 300 includes a shell body 310 and first and second position restrictors 320a and 320b. The first position restrictor 320a is provided at an edge portion 315 of an insertion port 310 of the shell body 310 and is located inside the insertion port 315. The second position restrictor 320b is provided in the shell body 310 so as to oppose the first position restrictor 320b with a spacing in a Z-Z direction. A distance in the Z-Z direction from the first position restrictor 320a to the second position restrictor 320b is substantially equal to, or slightly larger than, a distance in the Z-Z direction from a first face 101 to a second face 102 of a circuit board 100. When the circuit board 100 is inserted into the shell body 310 through the insertion port 315, the first position restrictor 320a and the second position restrictor 320b are abuttable on the first face 101 and the second face 102, respectively, of the circuit board 100.
