An integrated connector-antenna assembly is provided, wherein an antenna is monolithically integrated with a radio frequency (RF) connector housing. The connector-antenna assembly may also include the RF signal element, wherein the connector center pin is monolithically integrated to the connector housing. Although part of the connector-antenna assembly, the connector housing and connector signal element still serve the connector function, which is essentially a channel for RF signal from the RF signal source to the antenna.

A security sleeve system for a cable connector, includes: a first portion that may engage a tightening portion of a cable connector; and a second portion that may engage the first portion. The first portion may be configured to engage the tightening portion such that rotation of the first portion in a tightening direction causes the tightening portion to rotate; the first portion and the second portion may be configured to receive a tool that impedes rotation of the second portion relative to the first portion to cause the tightening portion to rotate in a loosening direction; the second portion may be configured to rotate relative to the first portion when the tool is not received in the first portion; and the first portion and the second portion may be configured to provide tool-less tightening of the cable connector to a mating part but are configured to use a tool to loosen the cable connector from the mating part.

An adapter plug and an electronics housing includes an adapter plug of this kind, and a valve comprising an electronics housing of this kind. The valve has at least one electric actuator. The adapter plug has at least one receptacle for an actuator-side electrical contact element and a receptacle for an electronics-side electrical contact element. The two receptacles are electrically connected to one another. A main body of the adapter plug is designed for insertion into a recess of a wall portion of the electronics housing, which wall portion faces the actuator. The main body can be fastened to an edge of the recess with tolerance or play so as to be able to compensate for positional deviations of the at least one actuator relative to the electronics housing.

A method includes plugging a plug into a socket, wherein the plugging includes pushing the plug into the socket at least up to a point that a latch clicks into the plug and locks the plug in place. Pressing down on a lever that rotates around an axis causes the lever to be pushed down. This results in the latch moving away from the plug and unlocking the plug from the socket, to thereby allow the plug to be separated from the socket.

A number of connectors and related methods that allow for high data rate transmissions are described. An example connector includes a housing and a wafer. The water includes signal conductors, a ground conductors, a flexible shield, and a rigid shield. The flexible shield includes terminal end portions, cantilever spring end portions, and a flexible shield body between the terminal end portions and the cantilever spring end portions. The flexible shield body covers a first portion of the ground conductors, and the rigid shield covers a second portion of the ground conductors.

The present disclosure provides a combined type hand warmer, including a first hand warmer unit and a second hand warmer unit; a first connection part is arranged on the first hand warmer unit, and a second connection part is arranged on the second hand warmer unit; the first connection part is detachably connected to the second connection part such that the first hand warmer unit and the second hand warmer unit are combined into a whole; and when a user needs to warm two hands/multiple body parts, the first hand warmer unit can be separated from the second hand warmer unit, and the first hand warmer unit and the second hand warmer unit can be respectively used for warming the two hands/multiple body parts.

An electronic assembly includes a socket assembly including a cage mounted to a circuit board and a socket connector received in a cavity of the cage. The socket connector includes a substrate holding interposer contacts with compressible upper and lower contact portions. The electronic assembly includes a cable connector module received in the cavity of the cage and coupled to the socket connector. The cable connector module includes a housing coupled to the cage, a circuit card received in the cavity of the housing, and cable assemblies coupled to the circuit card. The circuit card is coupled to the socket connector.

A cable assembly includes a cable having an insulator holding a first signal conductor and a second signal conductor and a cable shield surrounding the insulator. Exposed portions of the signal conductors extend forward of an end of the insulator for termination to a circuit card. The cable assembly includes a ground clip coupled to the end of the cable. The ground clip includes a bottom ground rake below the cable and a top ground hood above the cable. The bottom ground rake includes a window that receives the exposed portions of the first and second signal conductors therethrough. The bottom ground rake includes a lower grounding tab electrically connected to a lower portion of the cable shield and the top ground hood includes an upper grounding tab electrically connected to an upper portion of the cable shield. The bottom ground rake is coupled to the circuit card to support the cable relative to the circuit card.

A connector system having a first connector and a second connector. The first connector is mounted to a substrate and includes a housing and a first shell. The first shell has solder hold down posts which extend from a circuit board mounting surface of the first connector. Securing openings are provided in side walls of the first shell. The second connector includes a daughterboard and a second shell. The second shell has side plates, resilient latching projections are formed from mating connector alignment portions positioned on the side plates proximate a connector receiving surface of the second connector. The resilient latching projections of the second connector cooperate with the securing openings of the first connector to secure the second connector to the first connector. The first connector is secured to the substrate by soldering the solder hold down posts to the substrate.
