Each cable subassembly from the plurality of cable subassemblies includes a compression connector portion and a cable portion, where the cable portion is mechanically coupled and electrically coupled to the compression connector portion. A contact wire and a contact spring of each cable subassembly is compressed against a respective plated contact pad on the top surface of the electronic package, where the compressed contact wire and the compressed contact spring of each cable subassembly is electrical coupled to the electronic package via the respective plated contact pad.

An electronic component includes a first substrate including first connection terminals in an end region on a first surface; and a second substrate including second connection terminals on a first surface, the second connection terminals being disposed at a position corresponding to the first connection terminals. Each of the first connection terminals includes a base and an elastic contact piece extending from the base. The elastic contact piece is elastically deformable in a direction in which the tip end portion thereof approaches and departs with respect to the base. The first connection terminals are electrically connected to the second connection terminals while having the first surface of the first substrate being opposed to the first surface of the second substrate, and the second connection terminals being pressed onto the elastic contact pieces.

An interconnect system includes various anti-backout latches that are movable between an engaged position and a disengaged position. When in the engaged position, the anti-backout latches can be configured to prevent an interconnect module, such as an optical transceiver, from becoming unmated from a host module. When in the disengaged position, the anti-backout latches permit the interconnect module to become unmated from a host module. Securement members are also disclosed that secure a heat sink to a module housing of the interconnect module.

A power tool may include a compartment in its housing and a first printed circuit board (PCB) located in the housing and electrically coupled to a first connector. An insertable wireless communication device may include a second electronic processor and an antenna that are each mounted to a second PCB. The insertable wireless communication device may be configured to be received in the compartment and may include a second connector configured to electrically and physically couple to the first connector. The insertable wireless communication device may be configured to wirelessly communicate with an external device. When the insertable wireless communication device is inserted into the compartment, a first conductive layer of the first PCB may be configured to be electrically coupled to the antenna via the first connector and the second connector such that the first conductive layer of the first PCB serves as a ground plane of the antenna.

An electrical connector includes a plug connector and a locking member. The plug connector has a fitting portion, and an outer diameter of the fitting portion is configured to be able to be expanded. The locking member includes a pair of arm portions configured to restrict expansion of a diameter of the fitting portion by sandwiching the fitting portion from outward in a radial direction when the fitting portion fitted to a ground contact member is removed, and a positioning portion configured to curb movement of the plug connector in a Y direction in a restricted state in which the pair of arm portions restrict the expansion of the diameter of the fitting portion. In the restricted state, the positioning portion faces a first fixing portion located rearward from the fitting portion in the Y direction, and curbs movement of the first fixing portion in the Y direction.

The present invention discloses a connector that utilizes a first connecting portion includes a plurality of terminals and a latching arm that forms a connection end and utilizes a second connecting portion includes a plurality of terminal slots and an engaging groove that be coupled to the connection end of the first connecting portion. The terminals are electrically connected to the terminal slots and the connecting ends are fastened to the engaging arms, and the terminals are electrically connected to the terminal slots. In a state in which the electrical connection is maintained, the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion are disposed in close to or in the same plane by applying an external force to change the first angle between the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion to the second angle.

An electrical connector assembly includes an insulative housing, a plurality of contacts retained to the housing, a metallic frame/fastener surrounding the housing, a retainer/clip positioned upon the housing and retaining a CPU thereon. The metallic frame includes four positioning posts at four corners, and the retainer includes a frame part to form a receiving space for receiving the CPU therein, and further includes four metallic retaining supports embedded within four corners of the retainer corresponding to the four positioning posts so as to allow the four positioning posts to extending therethrough in the vertical direction.

A converter board, comprising: a printed circuit board, wherein the printed circuit board includes a cutout to form two opposing sides and an end; a guiderail attached to each opposing end, the guiderails to accept an option card; an end connector attached to the end, the end connector to connect to the option card when the option card is fully inserted into the cutout; and an edge connector to connect the converter board to a system, wherein the edge connector is connected to the end connector.
