An electrical interconnection system with high speed, high density electrical connectors. One of the connectors includes a mating contact portion that has multiple contact surface. The mating contact portion has multiple segments, each with a contact surface, such that multiple points of contact to a complementary mating contact portion in a mating connector are provided for mechanical robustness. Such a mating contact may have parallel elongated members on which the mating surface are positioned, providing for the possibility of more than two contact surface per mating contact portion. The mating contact surfaces may be positioned on the elongated members such that the points of contact are at different distances from the distal end of the mating contact portion.

Combined connector receptacles, examples of which comprise tongues configured to be aligned to openings in a device enclosure; EMI shield contact rails, a central ground plane, a connector receptacle shield to provide isolation between the individual connector receptacles to reduce signal noise; and organizers and other structures arranged to reduce or eliminate damage to through-hole contact portions during their insertion into corresponding openings in a printed circuit board.

The present disclosure relates to an electrical plug connector, such as a high-voltage plug connector, for a vehicle. The plug connector comprises a plug with a plug casing, one or more electrical contact parts accommodated in the plug casing, a socket with a socket casing, and a protective housing at least partly encasing the plug casing and the socket casing. The protective housing comprises an attachment flange in a connection area reaching up to a counterpart connectable thereto. An engagement ridge of the protective housing is spaced apart from the attachment flange in the longitudinal direction L of the plug connector and at least positively engages in an engagement channel of the plug casing.

A gasket for use with an electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding cage for a connector includes a conductive body having an opening configured to receive a first end of the EMI shielding cage near a gasket mating wall incorporated on the EMI shielding cage. The conductive body has a first face designed to face away from the gasket mating wall, a second face designed to face the gasket mating wall, an inner perimeter and an outer perimeter. A plurality of engagement tabs are disposed along the outer perimeter and extend away from the first face. A plurality of spring tabs are disposed along the inner perimeter and extend away from the second face. When the first end of the EMI shielding cage is inserted into the opening of the conductive body and an opening of an optional complementary faceplate with the engagement tabs facing the faceplate and the spring tabs facing the gasket mating wall of the EMI shielding cage, the engagement tabs and the spring tabs cooperatively maintain a predefined separation distance D1 between the gasket mating wall and the optional complementary faceplate.

A connector includes a shell that has a cylindrical shape and includes a body portion and a leg portion, the body portion being connected to a shell of the other connector, a ground plate that is a conductor plate, a claw that has a structure in which part of the ground plate is raised in a connector connection direction so as to have a strip-shaped tip and the tip supports the leg portion of the shell, and a case made of an insulator, the case to which the shell and the ground plate are to be attached. The case includes a plate-like base portion, a slit that is provided in one surface of the base portion, the slit into which the leg portion is to be inserted, and a groove that is provided in the other surface of the base portion, the groove into which the claw is to be inserted.

The present disclosure discloses an electrical connector including an insulating body, a number of conductive terminals disposed in the insulating body, a metal inner shell enclosing the insulating body and a metal outer shell covering the metal inner shell. The metal inner shell includes a top wall, a bottom wall and two side walls connecting the top wall and the bottom wall so as to form a receiving space to mate with a mating connector. The metal outer shell includes a base portion and two side portions bent downwardly from two sides of the base portion. The top wall is provided with a rivet line, and the base portion is attached and welded to the top wall. The electrical connector of the present disclosure has a stable structure and is not easily damaged.

A connector assembly includes a metal shielding cage. The metal shielding cage includes a cage body, a back cover and a grounding member. The cage body has a top wall, a mounting side and two side walls, the top wall, the mounting side and the two side walls together define a receiving space extending along a front-rear direction, the receiving space has a front opening toward the front and a rear opening positioned at the rear, the back cover and the grounding member are assembled at the rear opening of the cage body, and the grounding member is provided with an elastic grounding finger row toward the mounting side.

A plug connector which comprises contact elements that are subdivided into at least one signal contact element and at least one shielding contact element, and a component having an electrical circuit ground. The plug connector and the component are characterized by an ohmic resistance which connects the shielding contact element to the electrical circuit ground. The measure suppresses parasitic oscillations.
