A circuit assembly includes one or more electrical conductors. Each of the electrical conductors has a first axial end and a second axial end; the first axial end is disposed opposite the second axial end. The assembly further comprises a non-electrically conductive retainer component operable to: i) retain the electrical conductor and ii) contact a lateral side and/or tip of the electrical conductor onto a conductive pad of a circuit board. The retainer component exerts an appropriate force with respect to the one or more electrical conductors such that, a respective lateral side and/or tip of each of the electrical conductors contact a corresponding electrically conductive pad on the circuit board.

The present disclosure provides a connector which is a combination of at least one power pin, one plastic member, and one signal pin, wherein the power pin includes a columnar metal block, each plastic member is connected to the columnar metal block at side surface, each signal pin is attached to a side surface of the plastic member, and extends to two bottom surfaces of the plastic member to form contact surfaces with predetermined areas on the two bottom surfaces; wherein, the contact surface on first bottom surface of the plastic member is flush with first bottom surface of the metal block, and the contact surface on second bottom surface of the plastic member is flush with second bottom surface of the metal block.

A multimedia faceplate includes a frame having a front face and a rear face and at least one connector mounting aperture therein, a non-Ethernet connector mounted in the connector mounting aperture, an Ethernet conversion unit that is electrically connected to the non-Ethernet connector and a plurality of wire connection contacts that are electrically connected to the Ethernet conversion unit. The Ethernet conversion unit is configured to draw an electrical power signal from either an AC to DC power conversion unit or from a Power-over-Ethernet power signal received from an Ethernet cable that is connected to the wire connection contacts.

Connection reliability of terminals in a movable connector is enhanced. The movable connector includes a fixed housing having an abutment receiving portion and a movable housing having an abutment portion. When a pin terminal is fitted and inserted, the abutment portion abuts on the abutment receiving portion. This prevents arcuate curved deformation of the movable housing, and restricts a movable piece of a terminal at a center portion of the movable housing from being slightly stretched from the beginning of fitting and from constantly receiving load.

For a connector including a terminal and a housing into which the terminal is inserted, the degrees of freedom of design are raised for a retaining portion that retains the terminal, and adjustment of connector characteristics such as impedance is facilitated.

A connector is configured including terminals (signal terminals and power source terminals) and housings into which the terminals are inserted. The housings are configured including a first housing (the fitting housing) and a second housing (the mounted housing). The first housing includes first side retaining portions (signal terminal retaining portions and power source terminal retaining portions of the fitting housing) that retain portions of the terminals. The second housing includes second side retaining portions (signal terminal retaining portions and power source terminal retaining portions of the mounted housing) that retain other portions of the terminals.

A sensor assembly comprises an electronics assembly having a circuit board, a sensor mount structure comprising a first side and a second side, and an aperture formed from the first side towards the second side. The sensor assembly can comprise a sensor supported by the sensor mount structure, such that the sensor is situated, at least partially, in the aperture. The sensor assembly can comprise a spring pin connector coupled to the sensor mount structure, and having a connector body and a pair of conductive spring pins supported by the connector body and electrically coupled to the sensor, and blind-mate interfaced to the circuit board of the electronics assembly, thereby electrically coupling the sensor to the electronics assembly. A sensor array module can include a plurality of sensors and spring pin connectors coupled to a sensor mount structure, which can provide a transponder array of a torpedo.

A panel mount connector and method involve a connector shell assembly that is configured to be received in an opening that is defined by a panel with the connector shell defining a through passage. A flexible circuit board is supported within the through passage and defines a first external connection interface at one end for external electrical access from one side of the panel when the connector shell assembly is installed in the panel and at least the first external connection interface is supported for independent movement relative to the connector shell.

A cable connector includes a connection end portion of a flexible board, in which a rectangular reinforcing plate molded of a conductive resin material is fixed to part of an upper surface of a ground plate. The connection end portion of the flexible board is electrically connected to a printed circuit board through the cable connector.

An electrical terminal assembly includes a mounting block and one or more electrical terminals. The electrical terminal includes a terminal body and a first exposed section. The terminal body is embedded in the mounting block. The first exposed section is extended from the terminal body and protruding from the mounting block. The first exposed section further includes an interference part protruding from one side edge of the first exposed section. A protruding direction of the interference part is substantially perpendicular to an extension direction of the first exposed section. An electrical connector includes the electrical terminal assembly and a base accommodating the electrical terminal assembly.

A socket (130) employs a substrate (310) including a conductive network. An array of first contacts (136) is on a top surface of the substrate (310) and arranged to engage an integrated circuit (110). An array of second contacts (138) is on a bottom surface of the substrate (310) and arranged to engage a circuit board (120). The conductive network electrically connects the first contacts (136) respectively to the second contacts (138), and the first contacts (136) include a routed first contact (136′) that the conductive network routes horizontally in or on the substrate (310).
