An in-line suspended power sensor coupling configuration situated within a high frequency transmission line housing that allows forward, reverse, and sampling voltage elements to all be produced simultaneously on one double sided printed circuit board (PCB). The power sensor coupling allows for calibrated coupling responses across a much wider frequency range with a single PCB assembly, as opposed to the need to cover equivalently sized frequency ranges with multiple individually fabricated coupling element assemblies.

Bidirectional detection is performed with a suppressed increase in return loss at an output terminal. A bidirectional coupler includes a detection port, a main line connected to a first port and a second port, a sub-line, a termination circuit, a switch circuit that switches each of one end and another end of the sub-line to the termination circuit or the detection port, and a matching network disposed between the switch circuit and the detection port and including at least one of a first variable capacitor, a first variable inductor, or a first variable resistor. In a first mode for detecting a first signal, the switch circuit connects the one end of the sub-line to the detection port, and connects the other end of the sub-line to the termination circuit.

The subject disclosure relates to improved integrated connector module (ICM) designs for Ethernet applications. Some aspects provide an improved integrated connector module transformer (ICMt), including a wafer configured to hold a plurality of toroid elements, wherein the wafer is comprised of two or more mechanically coupled wafer portions. The ICMt can include one or more Electro Magnetic Interference (EMI) fingers that are configured to contact a ground pad of a printed circuit board (PCB) in order to provide a low-inductance connection between the ICMt and the ground pad of the PCB.

In one embodiment, an apparatus includes an array of transformers and common mode chokes each comprising a magnetic core and windings wound around the magnetic core at opposing locations on the magnetic core, and a retaining groove on each of the magnetic cores to maintain the windings in their opposing locations on the magnetic core. The transformers and common mode chokes are positioned in the array with the windings on each of the magnetic cores located offset to the windings of adjacent magnetic cores in the array to reduce crosstalk and improve common mode noise rejection.

An EMI-hardened multimedia interface device compatible with high-speed DisplayPort data transmission incorporates coupled isolation transformers on the source and sink sides for transmitting high-pass DisplayPort main data lane signals across a shielded cable assembly. The multimedia interface includes a bidirectional auxiliary data channel with source-side and sink-side isolation transformers. An extended-range EMI hardened interface device may prevent signal loss over longer cable runs by using the transformer in a BALUN configuration and utilizing coaxial cabling and source-side RF amplifiers to boost high-frequency gain. Interface devices may incorporate source-side and sink-side BALUNs or tri-filar RF transformers with AC coupling via serial capacitors to improve efficiency at high frequencies.

An electrical connector includes: an insulative housing; and an inserting module positioned in the insulative housing and including a transformer, the transformer comprising: a magnetic core having a central opening; and a first and second wire groups each including plural wires, each wire having a central portion, a first end, and an opposite second end, the central portions of each wire group wound around the magnetic core through the central opening, wherein the first and second wire groups joint to function as a primary winding and a secondary winding of the transformer, and a wire diameter of the secondary winding is greater than a wire diameter of the primary winding.

A sliding contact assembly for a DC electrical outlet receives plug contacts of an electrical plug. The assembly includes sliding contact structure having a base and a plurality of electrical sliding contacts fixed to the base. A housing includes a first end wall having an internal top surface and second end wall opposing the first end wall. The second end wall has an internal bottom surface. The housing has a side wall structure defining an internal chamber between the top surface and the bottom surface. The sliding contact structure is disposed in the housing to be movable linearly within the chamber. A spring is disposed between the top surface of the housing and a surface of the base so that when the plug contacts are completely disconnected from the associated sliding contacts, the spring rapidly forces the sliding contacts away from the plug contacts, reducing arcing energy there-between.
