A header power connector includes a header housing assembly including an inner housing received in a cavity of an outer housing. The inner housing has upper and lower openings open to a terminal channel configured to receive busbars. The inner housing is movable relative to the outer housing to accommodate misalignment of the busbars in the terminal channel. A terminal is received in the terminal channel having a terminal base, an upper mating end and a lower mating end. The upper mating end includes an upper socket flanked by upper spring beams that receives the first busbar and the lower mating end includes a lower socket flanked by lower spring beams that receives the second busbar. The terminal is movable in the terminal channel to accommodate misalignment of the first busbar and the second busbar in the terminal channel.

A socket connector is configured to mount to a component, such as a printed circuit board. The socket connector includes a base having a passageway and a channel extending outwardly from the passageway, a barrel including a wall having a flange extending outwardly therefrom, at least one biasing member engaging the flange and surrounding the wall, and a contact seated within the barrel. The wall is seated within the passageway and the flange is seated within the channel. The barrel is configured for movement within the base to align a centerline of a pin inserted into the socket connector with a centerline of the hole of the component.

A system for high-voltage interconnecting and interfacing can include: a package for a circuit, wherein the package comprises a housing for the circuit; and a gate connector located centrally on a face of an exterior surface of the housing, wherein the gate connector enables wiring outside the package to couple to the gate connector from any of a plurality of directions. In certain embodiments, the package for the housing further comprises a pressure applicator about an exterior surface of the housing; and the system further comprises a leadline that extends from the circuit within the housing and beyond the exterior surface through an aperture in the housing, wherein the leadline can be deformed over the pressure applicator at the exterior surface such that the pressure applicator can apply pressure to the leadline against a contact surface of a second structure.

The present disclosure is generally directed to an RF connector assembly for use within a node of a broadband distribution network, and can receive a center conductor pin of a coaxial cable, e.g., via insertion by a technician, and electrically couple the center conductor pin to circuitry within the node, such as an amplifier. The RF connector assembly preferably also securely physically couples to the center conductor pin via a spring-biased arrangement (and thus by extension securely couples the coaxial cable to the housing of the node) which can supply a bias force to the center conductor pin in response to insertion of the same into the RF connector assembly. This advantageously eliminates the necessity of opening the housing of the node to couple/decouple the center conducting pin of the coaxial cable to the node.

An electrical connector includes a connector housing having a base, a flange, and a plug. The connector housing has a contact channel holding a contact. The electrical connector includes a latch member integral with the connector housing and located within the flange. The latch member includes a deflectable latch arm and a latching finger extending from the latch arm. The plug is configured to be inserted into a panel opening of the panel in a loading direction. The connector housing is movable laterally relative to the panel in a latching direction to a latched position. The plug is movable in the panel opening in the latching direction. The latching finger engages an inner edge of the panel opening when the housing is in the latched position to hold the connector housing in the latched position.

A socket connector includes a housing having a cavity and a pin access opening through the bottom open to the cavity configured to receive a pin. The housing includes a latch pocket open to the cavity. A socket is received in the cavity electrically connected to the pin and a cable to electrically connect the cable and the pin. The socket connector includes a latch movably received in the latch pocket between a latched position and a clearance position and configured to engage the pin to secure the socket connector to the pin. The latch includes a latching rib having a latching surface configured to engage the pin in the latched position and released from the pin in the clearance position to allow uncoupling of the socket connector from the pin.

An edge connector includes a first row of golden fingers and a second row of golden fingers. The first row of golden fingers is adjacent to a plugging end of the edge connector, and the second row of golden fingers is adjacent to the first row of golden fingers. In a plugging direction of the edge connector, each golden finger in the first row of golden fingers has a first end proximate to the plugging end and a second end opposite to the first end. A first end of a grounded golden finger in the first row of golden fingers is protruded from other golden fingers, and second ends of two or more than two golden fingers in the first row of golden fingers are not aligned with each other.
