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 connector for interfacing with a circuit board includes a body having opposing first and second face surfaces and defining a plurality of ports extending between the face surfaces. A plurality of center conductors extend in respective ports between the face surfaces. Support elements engage the center conductors to secure the center conductors generally centered in the respective ports. Each center conductor includes a pin portion positioned proximate to the first face surface and a plunger portion positioned to extend beyond the second face surface. The plunger portion moves longitudinally with respect to the connector second face surface for varying the distance of an end of the center conductor from the second face surface to allow adjustability in the interfacing of the connector with a circuit board or other signal handling component.

A connector includes a pair of outer conductors including a first outer conductor and a second outer conductor assembled together and slidable with respect to each other, a pair of center conductors arranged within the outer conductors, an insulation seat, and an elastic element. The center conductors include a first center conductor and a second center conductor assembled together and slidable with respect to each other. The first outer conductor and the first center conductor are fixed to the insulation seat. A first end of the elastic element abuts against the first outer conductor or the insulation seat. The first outer conductor and the first center conductor are both in electrical contact with a first electrical component under a pressing force from the elastic element.

A header for a medical implant device is configured to provide an electrical connection to a circuit within the housing of the medical implant device. The header includes at least one circuit board; a header housing enclosing the circuit board and configured to be connected to the housing of the medical implant device; and a sensor system on the circuit board.

Combined connector receptacles, examples of which provide an upper housing having openings for tongues on each of two lower housings to simplify alignment of the tongues to a device enclosure, and inner shields around the lower housings and an outer shield around the upper housing and lower housings to provide isolation.

An electrical connector includes an insulative housing defining a vertical mating direction, plural contacts secured to the insulative housing, and a metallic shield secured to the insulative housing and surrounding the plurality of contacts, wherein the metallic shield and the plurality of contacts are insert-molded with the insulative housing, and the metallic shield has a pair of substantially vertical side walls, a pair of substantially vertical end walls respectively connected between the pair of side walls, and a pair of bottom walls connected between the pair of side walls.

A push-push fixing structure includes a base, a guiding element, a flexible element and a locating element. The guiding element is disposed on the base, includes a first guiding groove, a second guiding groove and a locating portion. The first guiding groove is connected to the second guiding groove, the locating portion is located at a junction of the first guiding groove and the second guiding groove. The flexible element is disposed on the base and pressed against the guiding element. The locating element has a first end portion and second end portion opposite to each other. The first end portion is disposed on the base. The second end portion is slidably disposed in the first guiding groove and the second guiding groove of the guiding element. When the guiding element is moved by push force, the second end portion of the locating element slides along the first guiding groove and the second guiding groove, and locates at the locating portion.

A fluid control apparatus is provided which makes it possible to effortlessly perform cable connection even when a plurality of the fluid control apparatuses are disposed adjacent to each other. The fluid control apparatus includes fluid control units to control a flow rate or pressure of a fluid, an electric circuit board to send and receive a signal to and from the fluid control units, a casing to accommodate therein the fluid control units and the electric circuit board, and an apparatus-side connector interposed between the electric circuit board and a cable electrically connected thereto. The fluid control apparatus further includes a connector board configured to mount thereon the apparatus-side connector. The connector board is secured to the electric circuit board with at least a part of the connector board in surface contact with the electric circuit board, or overlapping the electric circuit board with a clearance therebetween.

A receptacle connector is provided that is used for board-to-board connection. The connector includes: a housing including: first sidewall portions protruding along both side borders of a bottom portion that face each other; second sidewall portions protruding along the other side borders of the bottom portion that face each other to be connected with the first sidewall portions; a center protrusion portion protruding from a center of the bottom portion; and a connection recess portion formed between the first sidewall portions and the second sidewall portions, and the center protrusion portion; metal brackets soldered to a board and coupled to the second sidewall portions and protruding ends of the center protrusion portion; and terminals received in terminal holes formed on the housing, and the metal bracket includes a connection sensing member configured to provide a feeling of clicking of completion of connection by pressing a plug metal bracket.

Provided is a modular housing output system provided for conducting electronic signals out of a housing by electric contacts. The modular housing output system boasts a particularly large panoply of variants as a result of the modular use of different housing output ports. Housing output ports providing very different connection possibilities can be connected to the housing via a uniform interface.
