A first inner housing and a second inner housing are combined to form a combined inner housing, in which the first inner housing having a plurality of mutually independent insertion holes is formed of a first dielectric or an electric conductor, and the second inner housing having a plurality of mutually independent terminal-housing chambers is formed of a second dielectric. Terminals of a twisted-pair cable are inserted and housed one-to-one in the terminal-housing chambers of the combined inner housing. The twist-released sections of sheathed cables of the twisted-pair cable are inserted and housed one-to-one in the insertion holes of the combined inner housing. The combined inner housing is covered with a shield member, and the combined inner housing and the shield member are housed in an outer housing.

An electrical connector includes: an insulating body provided with at least one groove, where at least one protruding block is provided in the groove; and at least one pair of signal terminals adjacently provided, accommodated in the insulating body and exposed in the groove. The pair of signal terminals includes a long signal terminal and a short signal terminal. Each of the long signal terminal and the short signal terminal has a first section and a second section bending and extending from one end of the first section. A length of the long signal terminal is greater than a length of the short signal terminal. An area of the short signal terminal covered by the protruding block is larger than an area of the long signal terminal covered by the protruding block, which is equivalent to setting an obstruction for the short signal terminal.

A connector housing includes a receiving chamber having a pair of opposite side walls, a support rib disposed in a lower portion of the receiving chamber and extending in the longitudinal direction, a row of first receiving compartments disposed in each of the pair of opposite side walls of the receiving chamber, and a partition wall disposed between each pair of adjacent first receiving compartments. The receiving chamber extends in a longitudinal direction and a height direction and is adapted to receive a mating connector. The row of first receiving compartments face the support rib and position a plurality of conductive terminals. Each partition wall extends from an outer side of the first receiving compartments in a lateral direction and is connected to the support rib. At least one of the partition walls is at least partially cut away.

An electrical connector is provided to be mated with a mating component. The electrical connector includes: a main body extending along a transverse direction; multiple terminals fixed to the main body and arranged along the transverse direction; and at least one insulating member connected with the main body and provided above the terminals. When the mating component is mated with the electrical connector, the terminals are electrically connected with the mating component, and each insulating member is in contact with at least one corresponding terminal, such that the insulating member move in a vertical direction and a front-rear direction simultaneously, which is equivalent to the case where a section of each terminal exposed from the main body is turned to be covered by the insulating member instead of being exposed in air.

A plug, in particular a radio-frequency plug, includes a first contact element and a support element (dielectric), so that the first contact element is mechanically guided by the support element. The support element has a permittivity of less than 2. The support element has an aerogel or a foamed plastic or is formed by an aerogel or a foamed plastic.

A cable connector arrangement includes a cable connector and an electrical cable with a plurality of individual lines each having a respective insulation and electrical conductor. The connector may include a front section configured for connection to a mating connector, a rear section in which the individual lines are surrounded by a cable sheath, and a central section. The electrical conductors of two individual lines have a first mutual distance in the rear section and a greater, second mutual distance in the front section with the mutual distance being increased in the central section. At least one pressing means in the central section may press at least the two individual lines together such that their insulations undergo mechanical deformation in a region of common contact.

A connector is disclosed that includes a set of wafers formed of terminals supported by an insulative frame. The set of wafers can be positioned in a cage without a housing. Card slot members are aligned with contacts of the terminals. In an embodiment a connector can include a wafer that supports two rows of terminals on both sides of a card slot. At least some of the terminals (553) include a contact (553b) at one end which is over molded with an insulative material. These contacts are over molded except for the end (553a) of the terminal which is left exposed.

An electrical connector with an insulative housing and a plurality of contacts retained thereto. The housing includes a base and a tongue extending forwardly from the base. Each first contact includes, along the front-to-back direction perpendicular to the transverse direction, a front first contacting section, exposed above a mating face of the tongue, a rear first soldering section extending out of the housing, and a first connecting section located therebetween wherein in the pair of first different contacts, the first connecting sections are transversely offset from the corresponding first contacting sections and toward each other so as to have therebetween a distance, in the transverse direction, smaller than that between the corresponding first contacting sections.
