An improved method and structure for forming an electrical interconnects mechanism in a Power Distribution Network (PDN) by placing capacitors on the top of the pin array on the printed circuit board (PCB) of the structure to decouple the PDN and results in lower impedance benefitting the frequency range of the PDN effecting a significant performance improvement in the spring-pin inductance from the transmission line. This reduction in impedance reduces the power supply ripple.

A grounding system for electrically connecting a first component to a second component. A connection plate has a hole and is configured to be in electrical contact with the first component. A receptacle plate is in electrical contact with the connection plate, and has a receptacle opening aligned with and larger than the hole. A pin has a first end configured to be electrically connected to the second component and an opposed second end receivable through the receptacle opening and through the hole. An electrical connector is retained in electrical contact with the pin. The electrical connector is movable along the pin and biased toward the second end, receivable in the receptacle opening and configured to be in electrical contact with a circumferential surface of the receptacle opening, and has an outer dimension greater than that of the hole so as to be prevented from passing therethrough.

Connector assemblies having a housing, a pin, and a spring length having two free ends are used as a mechanical connector to secure two objects or components together or an electrical connector for placing two sources in electrical communication with one another. The spring length can be a canted coil spring in which the two free ends are not connected to one another and the coils can have an elliptical shape or a complex coil shape. The spring length can be used with a retaining component, can be used in a recessed slot formed with the housing or the pin, or both with a retaining component and with a recessed slot.

A spring-actuated electrical connector assembly for electrically and mechanically connecting a device to a power source in high-power, high-voltage applications is disclosed. The connector assembly includes a first connector with an internal receiver, a plurality of side walls, and at least one contact beam. The contact beam integrally extends to an outer surface of the side wall and includes a free end that extends inward of the outer surface of the side wall. An internal spring member is dimensioned to reside within the receiver of the first connector. This assembly also includes a second electrically conductive connector with a receptacle dimensioned to receive both the first connector and the spring member to define a connected position during operation of the device. In the connected position, at least one spring arm of the spring member exerts an outwardly directed force on the contact beam of the first connector to outwardly displace the contact beam into engagement with the second connector.

The embodiments of the present disclosure provide an electrical connecting assembly and an electrical connector. The electrical connecting assembly comprises two electrical connecting parts and a connecting part. Each of the electrical connecting parts comprises a main body comprising an electrical contacting component. The connecting part comprises a securing component. Two sides of the connecting part extend toward one direction and are connected with the two electrical connecting parts. The two electrical connecting parts are disposed symmetrically across the connecting part. A first electrical connector head comprises an electrical plugging member and the electrical connecting assembly assembled to the electrical plugging member. A second electrical connector head comprises an electrical connecting notch in which the electrical plugging member having the electrical connecting assembly is assembled. The electrical contacting component of the electrical connecting assembly abuts against two inner sidewall surfaces of the electrical connecting notch.
