Provided is a connector in which a frame is provided with a bending portion while the properties of the frame are maintained. The connector includes a housing to which contacts are attached and a frame which has an end in the first direction fixed to a board and which surrounds the housing. Of the frame, an end portion on a board side in the first direction is provided with a bending portion bent in a second direction, the second direction intersecting the first direction, and a pair of adjacent surfaces adjacent to opposite end surfaces of the bending portion in a third direction, the third direction intersecting each of the first direction and the second direction.

A heavy-duty plug-in connector has a ground terminal that can be conveniently assembled and can comprise the greatest possible number of electrical crimp plug-in contacts (4,5). For this purpose, ground plug-in contacts (4′, 5′), likewise of a crimping configuration, are fitted in formations (13, 13′, 23, 23′) of the contact carriers (1, 2) for electrical contacting with metallic protective earthing elements (3, 3′, 3″, 3′″). For said contacting, the formations (13, 13′, 23, 23′) have a respective opening (130, 130′) or passage (230, 230′). In the formations (13, 13′, 23, 23′), not only ground plug-in contacts (4′, 5′) but also further plug-in contacts (4, 5) are arranged, so that the number of plug-in contacts (4, 5) of the plug-in connector is increased considerably.

A cable assembly comprising a connector with a termination that enables high density and high signal integrity. Shields of cables are terminated to a paddle card via a conductive structure attached to a surface of the paddle card. The signal conductors of the cables are terminated to pads on the paddle card that are exposed within openings of the conductive structure. Such a structure creates a ground structure per cable that provides low insertion loss and low crosstalk, even when multiple cables are aligned side by side and terminated in one or more rows. The cables may be drainless, enabling a large number of cables, such as eight cables, to be packed within the width of a paddle card specified in high density standards such as QSFP-DD or OSFP. The cables may nonetheless have large diameter signal conductors, enabling 2.5 or 3 meter assemblies with less than 17 dB insertion loss.

The present disclosure discloses a high-speed connector including an insulating body and a terminal module. The terminal module includes a number of terminal groups. Each terminal group includes a number of ground terminals, a number of signal terminals and a shielding piece. The ground terminal includes a ground pin. The signal terminal includes a signal pin. The shielding piece includes a number of convex portions and a number of surrounding portions. The ground pins and the signal pins are distributed in a staggered manner. At least one ground pin is in contact with the convex portion of the shielding piece. The surrounding portion surrounds the signal pins. When the ground pins and the signal pins are no longer in the same plane or the same row, the shielding piece can prevent cross-talk among signals, thereby improving the transmission quality.

Provided are a metal housing and a connector. The metal housing is configured to accommodate an insulation body and the metal housing includes a first half housing on which a first overlapping portion is disposed and a second half housing on which a second overlapping portion is disposed. The first overlapping portion is overlapped with and connected to the second overlapping portion when the metal housing accommodates the insulation body. With the above-mentioned structure, the metal housing is not easily deformed when being pressed and struck by external forces. The connector includes an electrical connection part and an insulation body which accommodates the electrical connection part. The connector further includes the above-mentioned metal housing which accommodates the insulation body. As the above-mentioned metal housing is used for accommodating the insulation body and the electrical connection part, the connector has better capabilities of anti-press and anti-strike.

A connection assembly for the electrical and mechanical connection between a contact electrode and an electrical conductor element has a flexible sensor/electrode section in which the contact electrode is at least partially arranged. The connection assembly has at least one electrical inner conductor of the electrical conductor element for applying and/or removing an electrical voltage and/or capacitive change at the contact electrode. An electrical contact region is provided in which the at least one electrical inner conductor makes electrical contact with the contact electrode of the sensor. A connecting device is provided which can be prestressed against the contact electrode of the sensor in the contact region, with interposition of the inner conductor.
