ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR ASSEMBLY INCLUDING MATABLE BOARD CONNECTOR AND CABLE CONNECTOR WITH IMPROVED GROUNDING BAR
A cable connector includes a contact module, wires and grounding bars. The contact module includes a pair of subunits commonly sandwiching a metallic shielding plate. Each subunit includes contacts integrally formed within an insulator, the contacts includes a plurality of differential-pair contacts and grounding contacts alternately arranged with each other. Each contact includes a front contacting section and a rear tail section, the tail sections of the grounding contacts being unified with a transverse bar. Each wire has a pair of inner conductors respectively soldered to the tail sections of the corresponding differential-pair contacts, and an outer braiding layer surrounding the pair of inner conductors and mechanically and electrically connected to the transverse bar. Each grounding bar includes a plurality of rear tabs respectively connected to the braiding layers, and a plurality of front tabs respectively connected to the tail sections of the corresponding grounding contacts.
CONNECTOR ASSEMBLY
Examples described herein relate to connector assembly for a connecting device. The connector assembly may include an electrical connector connectible with a corresponding receiving structure on a receiving device separate from the connecting device. Further, the connector assembly may include a connector housing enclosing the electrical connector. The connector housing may include a mounting lever engaged with a body of the connecting device to secure the connector housing with the connecting device and allow the connector housing to move relative to the body of the connecting device. Further, the connector assembly may include a biasing member disposed within the connector housing to bias the electrical connector toward the receiving structure on the receiving device.
COAXIAL CONNECTOR ASSEMBLIES
The present disclosure relates to a coaxial connector assembly comprising a first connector and a second connector adapted to be connected with each other, and a locking mechanism adapted to lock and unlock a connection between the first connector and the second connector. The locking mechanism includes a first locking member having at least one elastic snap-fit element and a second locking member having a locking element adapted to be snap-fitly engaged with the at least one elastic snap-fit element. The first locking member is disposed on an outer periphery of the first connector, and the second locking member is disposed on an outer periphery of the second connector. The elastic snap-fit element is constructed as a cantilever that extends axially toward a direction remote from the second connector, so that it is movable between an unlocking position and a locking position along a radial direction. In the unlocking position, the elastic snap-fit element is pressed down, so that the elastic snap-fit element is disengaged from the locking element, and in the locking position, the elastic snap-fit element springs back to its initial state, so that the elastic snap-fit element is snap-fitly engaged with the lock element.

Plug connector assembly
A plug connector assembly includes first and second plug connector parts. The first plug connector part is arranged on a printed circuit board (PCB) and includes first contact elements. The second plug connector part includes a base body and second contact elements held by the base body. The first and second contact elements are connected when the first and second plug connector parts are connected. Stamped/bent parts are positioned on respective sides of the first plug connector part and are connected to the PCB. When the plug connector parts are fully connected, an electrical connection is established between at least one stamped/bent part and a contact element of the second plug connector part, or alternatively, an electrical connection is established between the two stamped-bent parts. The electrical connections in each case are suitable for electronically recognizing and/or monitoring the connection of the plug connector parts.
Adapter assembly
A power adapter assembly includes a first adapter and a second adapter. The first adapter comprises a first housing, pluralities of first electrical terminals and first signal terminals. The second adapter comprises a second housing, pluralities of second electrical terminals and second signal terminals. When the first adapter and the second adapter match with each other, a first latching element is axially coupled with the second latching element to a first position, wherein the two electrical terminals are coupled with each other. When an external force is provided, the first housing is radial with respect to the second housing, and rotates with each other until the two latching elements move to a second position to be securely fastened. The two signal terminals are coupled with each other to send an enabling signal to the control module, so as to enable the power transmission between the two electrical terminals.
