A backplane connector assembly includes a first backplane connector and a second backplane connector. The first backplane connector includes a number of first conductive terminals, a first insulating bracket, a first metal shield, a second metal shield and a shielding space. The second backplane connector includes a second terminal module. Each second terminal module includes mating terminals mated with the first conductive terminals and a shielding shell surrounding a periphery of the mating terminals. The shielding shell is received in the shielding space. As a result, the backplane connector assembly of the present disclosure reduces crosstalk and improves the quality of signal transmission.

A connector (10) according to the present disclosure includes an insulator to be fitted to a connection object (60), and contacts (50) attached to the insulator. Each of the contacts (50) includes a contact portion (59), a first elastic portion (54A), a first adjustment portion (54B1), and a second adjustment portion (54B2). The contact portion (59) electrically contacts the connection object (60) when the insulator and the connection object (60) are fitted together. The first elastic portion (54A) is elastically deformable and extends from a first base (51) supported by the insulator. The first adjustment portion (54B1) is formed continuously with the first elastic portion (54A) and has an electric conductivity higher than that of the first elastic portion (54A). The second adjustment portion (54B2) is formed continuously with the first adjustment portion (54B1) and has an electric conductivity lower than that of the first adjustment portion (54B1).

This disclosure provides a method and apparatus for connecting wires and interlocking wires to an electrical component. More specifically, an electrical connector that includes an insulative housing, two electrical contacts, and two interlocking contacts is disclosed. In an embodiment, each electrical contact includes a female end, a press-fit end, and a transition portion. The transition portion is designed such that the first female end and the first press-fit end may be properly aligned depending on the application. The transition portion also provides support and stability to the electrical contacts when they are disposed within the insulative housing. The insulative housing includes four contact recesses. In an embodiment, the electrical connector allows for the safe, efficient, re-usable, and reliable connection for connecting high-voltage wires to a corresponding sensitive electrical component (e.g., a printed circuit board).

A backplane connector includes a number of conductive terminals, an insulating frame, a first metal shield and a second metal shield. Each conductive terminal includes a connection portion and a contact portion. The conductive terminals include differential signal terminals, a first ground terminal and a second ground terminal. The first metal shield has a first elastic arm and a second elastic arm. The second metal shield has a third elastic arm and a fourth elastic arm. The first elastic arm and the third elastic arm are in contact with two opposite side surfaces of the contact portion of the first ground terminal. The second elastic arm and the fourth elastic arm are in contact with two opposite side surfaces of the contact portion of the second ground terminal. This arrangement increases the grounding shielding area, reduces crosstalk, and improves the quality of signal transmission.

A connector assembly is disclosed. The connector assembly can include first and second connectors. The first connector can include a first electronic component mounted on a first component mount region of the first substrate. The second connector can include a second electronic component mounted on a second component mount region of the second substrate. The first connector and the second connector have different profiles from each other as seen from a top plan view, and can have wider middle portions that overlap when assembled. The first connector can be configured to connect to a sensor panel and a first external substrate or component. The second connector can be configured to connect to the sensor panel and a second external substrate or component.

A connector includes a housing, an outer shield including a tubular portion, and a terminal surrounded by the tubular portion of the outer shield. The connector is connected to a mating connector by moving toward the mating connector in a predetermined direction relatively with respect to the mating connector. A first end of the tubular portion of the outer shield is located in the predetermined direction in the tubular portion. The tubular portion of the outer shield has an inner circumferential surface facing a hollow space, an outer circumferential surface opposite to the inner circumferential surface, and a distal end surface provided at the first end. At least one of the distal end surface, the outer circumferential surface, and the inner circumferential surface is seamless over an entire circumference of the tubular portion surrounding the hollow space along a circumferential direction of the tubular portion.

A coaxial connecting member (1) for transmitting radio-frequency signals between a first and a second circuit board (2, 3) includes an inner conductor (4), an outer conductor (5) and an insulating member (6) arranged between the inner conductor (4) and the outer conductor (5). The inner conductor (4) and/or the outer conductor (5) comprise a first and a second end section (7, 8) to interconnect the inner conductor (4) to the first and the second circuit board (2, 3). The first and the second end section (7, 8) are interconnected to each other by at least one elastically deformable transversal section (9) to compensate axial and/or lateral misalignment of the first and the second circuit board (2, 3) with respect to each other.

An adapter connector includes a terminal assembly, a first adapter housing and a second adapter housing. The terminal assembly includes a first terminal clamping portion at a first end and a second terminal clamping portion at a second end. The first adapter housing includes a number of first receiving grooves for receiving the first terminal clamping portion. The second adapter housing includes a number of second receiving grooves for receiving the second terminal clamping portion. The terminal assembly is provided with a first lock assembly locked with the first adapter housing and a second lock assembly locked with the second adapter housing. This arrangement facilitates the assembly of the adapter connector.

A backplane connector includes a housing, a number of terminal modules, a metal shielding surrounding portion and a mounting block. The housing includes a base, a receiving groove and a number of insulating protrusions integrally extending from the base. The terminal module includes a first signal terminal and a second signal terminal. The first signal terminal has a first mounting foot. The second signal terminal has a second mounting foot. The metal shield surrounding member includes a first tail portion, a second tail portion and a hollow portion sleeved on the insulating protrusion. The mounting block is received in the receiving groove. As a result, the shielding effect of the backplane connector is improved.

A terminal module includes a number of conductive terminals and an insulating frame. Each conductive terminal includes a contact portion. The conductive terminals include a first signal terminal and a second signal terminal. The contact portion of the first signal terminal includes a first contact arm, a second contact arm and a first clamping space. The terminal module includes an insulating block sleeved on the first contact arm and the second contact arm, and a metal shield surrounding member sleeved on the insulating block. The insulating block includes a limiting groove and the metal shield surrounding member includes a limiting protrusion protruding into the limiting groove. As a result, it facilitates to assemble the insulating block and the metal shield surrounding member. The present disclosure also relates to a backplane connector having the terminal module.
