Embodiments disclosed herein relate to a high frequency connector system with reduced stub lengths that provide improved performance at high frequencies. A first connector includes a plurality of mating contacts designed to electrically connect to a second plurality of mating contacts associated with a second connector. The first connector includes one or more elastic members such that when the second connector is mated to the first connector, the one or more elastic members are compressed between the first and second connectors. The first and second plurality of contacts overlap by a first distance when initially mated, but when the connectors are released, the first elastic member biases the second connector away from the first connector such that the first and second plurality of contacts overlap by a second distance smaller than the first distance.

An electrical connector includes an insulative housing, a number of mating contacts fixed in the insulative housing and a shell covering the insulative housing. The insulative housing includes a base portion and a mating portion extending from the base portion. The base portion includes a mounting surface perpendicular to the mating portion. The base portion defines a mounting slot recessed from the mounting surface. The base portion includes two rows of contact receiving slots located at two sides of the mounting slot. The contact receiving slot includes an inner surface and two opposite side surfaces. The mating contact is inserted into the contact receiving slot and interfered with the side surfaces. The electrical connector also includes a fixing member mounted into the mounting slot. The fixing member has a number of fixing projections to engage with two rows of contacts, respectively.

Apparatuses, methods and storage medium associated with connectors for coupling to a computer processing unit (CPU) package are disclosed herein. In embodiments, a connector assembly for connection to a computer processing unit (CPU) package may include a connector housing. One or more electrical contacts of the connector housing may be to couple to the CPU package when the connector assembly is engaged with a mating connector assembly. The connector assembly may further include a mounting handle affixed to a top of the connector housing. The mounting handle may include a locking latch that extends from the mounting handle. The locking latch may engage with a notch within the mating connector assembly that, when engaged, the locking latch may provide a force to maintain coupling of the one or more electrical contacts with the CPU package when engaged with the mating connector assembly.

The present disclosure is an apparatus for providing a multiple receptacle assembly whereby a number of receptacles could be configured within a single assembly of a standard size. It is contemplated that more receptacles may be available in a particular size and width than conventional power distribution units. Additionally, in another aspect of the present disclosure, the present disclosure is directed to an apparatus for providing power for multiple types of plugs via a single receptacle. In one embodiment of the disclosure, apparatus for providing power for multiple types of plugs via a single receptacle may provide power to one of a C14 plug or a C20 plug via a single receptacle, whereby the single receptacle may be configured to operate as a C13 and C19 receptacle and in compliance with IEC60320 standards.

Various embodiments disclosed herein are directed to a Network system including: a connector comprising a housing comprising a groove running widthwise on a surface of the housing; and a push-pull tab comprising a complementary groove, wherein the push-pull tab is detachably connected to the housing; and a receiver device comprising one or more ports for receiving the connector, the one or more ports having an interchangeable anchor device including a first portion and a second portion; wherein the groove is configured to receive the first portion of the interchangeable anchor device when the connector is inserted into the receiving element, and wherein the complimentary groove is configured to receive the second portion of the interchangeable anchor device when the connector is inserted into the receiving element, the push-pull tab being configured to disengage the second portion of the interchangeable anchor device from the complementary groove when the push-pull tab is moved in a direction away from the connector, thereby disengaging the first portion of the interchangeable anchor device from the grove of the connector. Other aspects are described and claimed.

The present disclosure provides a liquid-cooled transceiver assembly. The liquid-cooled transceiver assembly comprises a removable communications module and a receiving bay assembly. The removable communications module includes a faceplate connector to receive a signal from an external device, a signal conversion chip that is coupled to the faceplate connector, and a lever assembly. The lever assembly can engage the receiving bay assembly such that the signal conversion chip is aligned with and makes an electrical connection with an electrical socket disposed on the receiving bay assembly. The removable communications module is inserted into the receiving bay assembly which when fully assembled functions as a liquid-cooled transceiver assembly.

An electrical connector having a housing with a mating face and a wire-receiving face. Terminal-receiving cavities extend from the mating face toward the wire-receiving face. A receiving cavity extends from the wire-receiving face to an end wall provided at an end of the terminal-receiving cavities. The receiving cavity has a first section provided proximate the wire-receiving face and a second section provided proximate the end wall at the end of the terminal-receiving cavities. A transition wall is provided between the first section and the second section. A rear cover member is provided proximate the wire-receiving face. The receiving cavity is configured to receive a gang sealing member in the first section or individual wire sealing members in the second section to form a seal between the housing and the respective gang sealing member or the individual wire sealing members.

A connector having locking structure which are formed at left and right sides of a male connector and left and right sides of a female connector and used to doubly couple the male connector and the female connector, thereby preventing the male connector and the female connector in a coupled state from being warped to the left and right.

Described herein are devices, systems and methods for accessing devices, such as modules or printed circuit boards (PCBs), for electrical communications. Various connectors described herein utilize a side-edge surface of a device, such as a PCB, for connectivity in order to maximize the surface area on the PCB upon which electronic components can be mounted. Such connectors can be used to temporarily connect to devices (e.g., PCBs) for the purposes of debugging, testing and/or configuring circuitry, firmware and/or software. Each such connector utilizes the side-edge surface of a device along its thickness to provide connectivity, which is useful in many situations, including when the device (e.g., a PCB) is to be soldered as a part onto a larger board at a later point in time, or where multiple PCBs are stacked.

An improved patch panel assembly includes a frame and faceplate that mate with a housing, and the housing defines a plurality of individual communication ports. The housing is mounted to the patch panel frame and includes jack openings that accommodate data jacks and circuit board openings that accommodate mating blades of circuit boards. The two sets of openings are separated on the housing by an intervening spacing and interposer terminal sets are provided to electrically interconnect the jacks with circuits on the circuit boards. The patch panel housings may be formed in discrete groupings so that, if desired, the patch panels may have ports that are grouped together by bandwidth, storage capability and the like. Inasmuch as the housings are mounted to the patch panel frames, the jacks and the circuit boards can be easily and individually replaced, repaired or upgraded with similar components without requiring disassembly of the patch panel.
