An electrical connector assembly includes a male/plug/first connector and a female/receptacle/second connector mateable with each other. The first connector includes a first plate and a plurality of first contacts retained to the first plate, and the second connector includes a second plate and a plurality of second contacts retained to the second plate. The first plate includes opposite first long side and second long side to respectively form a first alignment structure and a second alignment structure which is offset from the first alignment structure in the longitudinal direction. The second plate includes opposite third long and fourth long side to respectively form a third alignment structure and a fourth alignment structure to be coupled to the corresponding first alignment structure and second alignment structure during mating.

Coaxial cable adapters and connectors are provided that are particularly suited for use in high power applications. A flowable insulator filling a cavity within the adapters and connectors improves heat conduction from inner conductors outwards while providing electrical insulation around the inner conductors.

A connection system for a quantum computer that employs constant impedance connectors with attenuation or filtering components or both embedded therein or within an adaptor removably insertable within an adaptor housing for use in a cryogenically cooled quantum computer. The connection system provides a higher density of cables traversing through a hermetic sealed top plate, and which are accessible to chill blocks to reduce the thermal energy from the signal lines. Attenuators or filter circuits are embedded in the constant impedance connector housings, or provided in adaptors that connect on each end to form mating constant impedance connections, in order to reduce signal strength as the signal progresses through the cryogenic environment and to remove extraneous electrical signal noise.

An adaptive connector comprising a contact jack and a lamella comb, wherein the lamellae of the lamella comb electrically contact the contact jack, characterised in that the contact jack is connected in a mechanically inseparable but movable manner with the lamella comb. The contact jack can be pivoted relatively to the lamella comb with an angular range of more than 2 degrees while maintaining contact between the contact jack and the lamellae of the lamella comb, and/or the contact jack can be moved translationally relatively to the lamella comb in at least one direction within a translational range of more than 1 millimetre. Moreover, an adaptive connector comprising two or more adapter elements that are electrically separate from each other. Each adapter element comprises a connection jack or a connection lamella device at each of two ends of the adapter element, the connection jack or connection lamella device of one end being electrically connected to the connection jack or connection lamella device of the other end. The adapter elements are connected with each other in a mechanically inseparable but movable manner. Any of the adapter elements can be pivoted relatively to at least one other of the adapter elements with an angular range of more than 4 degrees and/or any of the adapter elements can be moved translationally relatively to any other of the adapter elements in at least one direction by more than 2 millimetre. Finally, a system comprising the adaptive connector and a counter connector.

An electromagnetic interference (EMI) shield system is disclosed. The system may include an EMI gasket assembly configured to prevent radio frequency (RF) radiation from escaping through a gap between a RF connector and the enclosure. The gasket assembly may include a gasket including a receiving portion. The receiving portion may be configured to receive a portion of a shaft of the RF connector. The gasket may be formed of a compressible material. The gasket assembly may include a spacer configured to couple to a portion of the shaft of the RF connector. The spacer may be configured to compress the gasket against a portion of the enclosure when the spacer is rotated in a first direction. The spacer may be configured to provide electrical continuity between the radio frequency connector and the gasket by causing the gasket to form an electrical connection with the enclosure when the gasket is compressed.

Systems and methods of using a multiport assembly and associated components are disclosed. The multiport assembly can include a multiport device that communicatively couples multiple sets or pairs of connectors, such as optical connectors or electrical connectors, together. The multiport assembly can also include an auxiliary port device that couples to the multiport device to expand the capacity of the multiport assembly. Both the multiport and auxiliary port devices can be selectively configured to receive specific types of connectors by selectively coupling to different types of adapters, where the types of adapters correspond to the types of connectors. When coupled to the multiport or auxiliary port devices, the adapters facilitate the formation of the communication between its corresponding set of connectors.

An electrical connector that has a conductive shell supporting at least one signal contact therein and that has a front end for mating with a mating connector and a back end opposite the front end for electrically connecting to a coaxial cable. A ground connection is located inside of the conductive shell.
