A circuit board for a high speed communication jack including a rigid circuit board in the housing having a substrate, a plurality of vias extending through the substrate with each via being configured to accommodate a pin on the housing, a plurality of traces on a middle layer in the substrate, with each trace extending from a corresponding one of the plurality of vias, a first shielding layer on a first side of the middle layer in the substrate, a second shielding layer on a second side of the middle layer in the substrate, and a third shielding layer adjacent to the second shielding layer.

In a plug connector, a ground contact conductor includes: a fitting portion to fit to a ground contact conductor of a mate connector; and a clamp portion to hold a second exposing portion of a coaxial cable (a portion of a terminal portion of the coaxial cable where a part of an insulating sheath has been removed) to contact a shield exposed at the second exposing portion, without the ground contact conductor overlapping an outer peripheral surface of the insulating sheath. The clamp portion is located at an end of the ground contact conductor farthest from the fitting portion. The second exposing portion is adjacent to a first exposing portion formed at the terminal portion where a signal line is exposed.

A floating connector is provided with a plurality of contacts, at least one stub member and a movable housing. The movable housing has a first holding portion and a second holding portion. The first holding portion holds first held portions of the contacts, and the second holding portion holds a second held portion of the stub member. The at least one stub member corresponds to at least one of the contacts in one-to-one correspondence. A stub contact point is always pressed against a coupling portion of the contact corresponding to the stub member even when the movable housing is moved within a predetermined range.

A terminal module includes a number of conductive terminals and an insulating frame. The conductive terminal includes a contact portion, a connection portion and a transition portion connected to the contact portion. The conductive terminals include differential signal terminals, a first ground terminal and a second ground terminal. The contact portions of the differential signal terminals and the connection portions of the differential signal terminals are provided separately. As a result, the structure of the contact portions and the connection portions are simplified for easy manufacturing. The disclosure also discloses a backplane connector having the terminal module.

An electrical contact for an electrical connector includes a body having a mounting end and a mating end, a contact beam, and an anchoring region. The contact beam includes first and second edges that are laterally spaced from one another, and first and second broadsides that extend between the first and second edges. The anchoring region includes first, second, and intermediate portions. The first portion extends from the contact beam towards the mounting end, and has a first side that is spaced laterally outwards from the first edge. The second portion extends from the mounting end towards the first portion, and has a first side that is spaced laterally outwards from the first edge. The intermediate portion extends between the first portion and the second portion, and has a first side that is recessed laterally inwards from the first sides of the first and second portions.

(Technical Problem) To provide a lightweight and highly reliable plug connector for high-speed digital multi-channel transmission. (Technical Solution) A rigid substrate of a plug connector includes a base material having a first surface, including a first side and a second side formed opposite the first side, and a second surface formed opposite the first surface, and a plurality of signal transmission patterns configured to transmit a differential signal, and includes a first signal transmission pattern on the first surface, a second signal transmission pattern on the second surface, a third signal transmission pattern on the first surface and adjacent to the first signal transmission pattern, and a fourth signal transmission pattern on the second surface and adjacent to the second signal transmission pattern. Each signal transmission pattern includes a first conductor pattern, a second conductor pattern forming a differential pair, and a third conductor pattern having a fixed potential. Each of the first conductor pattern, the second conductor pattern, and the third conductor pattern includes a terminal portion electrically connected to a terminal of another connector, a pad portion electrically connected to a cable, and a wiring portion electrically connecting the terminal portion and the pad portion. The terminal portion is formed along the first side, and the pad portion is formed along the second side.

A connector structure is provided. The connector structure includes an insulated housing and at least one terminal assembly. The terminal assembly includes an insulated shelter and at least one pins. The pins are connected to and penetrated through the insulated shelter. The pin includes a pin body and at least two protrusive portions.
