An electrical connector includes a first set of conductors, a first overmolding in physical contact with a body portion of each of the first set of conductors, a second set of conductors, a second overmolding in physical contact with the body portion of each of the second set of conductors, and a spacer in contact with the first overmolding and the second overmolding. A gap is present between the spacer and at least one of the first set of conductors and a gap between the spacer and at least one of the second set of conductors.

A backplane connector includes a housing and a number of terminal modules assembled to the housing. The housing includes a base, a first side wall and a second side wall. The base, the first side wall and the second side wall jointly form a receiving space. The terminal module includes a first signal terminal and a second signal terminal. The housing includes a number of insulating protrusions integrally extending from the base. The insulating protrusions extend into the receiving space. The terminal modules are assembled in the insulating protrusions. Compared with the prior art, the insulating protrusions of the present disclosure is integrally formed with the base, thereby improving the structural strength of the housing and improving the durability of the backplane connector.

A stacked I/O connector for use with a high speed, high density transceiver that generates a large amount of heat. The connector may be formed with a web-like housing into which leadframe assemblies are inserted. The web-like housing may have openings in the front, back, top and/or sides, enabling airflow through the connector with little resistance. Sidewall openings may open into a channel between the housing and a wall of cage, enabling air flowing to cool transceivers inserted into the cage to pass through the connector assembly with low resistance and high cooling efficiency. A cage for the connector may have openings selectively positioned such that air flowing through the cage to cool transceivers mated to the I/O connector may pass through the connector with low resistance, enhancing cooling efficiency. Such a connector may be used with OSFP transceivers to meet signal integrity and thermal requirements at 112GBps and beyond.

The present invention relates to a board connection assembly being characterized by comprising: a board connection pin for transmitting a signal; a dielectric portion having a first insertion hole into which the board connection pin is inserted; a housing having a trench into which a part of the dielectric portion is inserted and a second insertion hole into which the board connection pin is inserted; and a ground contact portion disposed between the housing and the dielectric portion to contact a ground electrode, wherein the ground contact portion has one side inserted into the trench so as to contact one surface of the trench, and the other side formed to be grounded with the ground electrode, and the height of the housing is configured to be smaller than the width of the housing.

A connector (10) according to the present disclosure includes a fixed insulator (20), a movable insulator (30), and contacts (50). The fixed insulator (20) is in the shape of a frame. The movable insulator (30) is disposed inside the fixed insulator (20), and capable of moving relative to the fixed insulator (20). The movable insulator (30) mates with a connection object (60). The contacts (50) are attached to the fixed insulator (20) and the movable insulator (30). The movable insulator (30) includes a first movable insulator (30a), and a second movable insulator (30b). The first movable insulator (30a) and the second movable insulator (30b) are disposed inside the fixed insulator (20) while being separated from each other, and are capable of moving independently of each other.

A connector that enables electronic assemblies to be efficiently configured for any of multiple power requirements. The connector may have multiple interfaces such that when the connector is mounted to a printed circuit board (PCB), it may receive power through an interface and distribute it to components on the PCB through another interface. The connector may also have an interface that supports a connection to a conductive interconnect, which may distribute power to a second connector mounted to the same PCB. Power may be distributed to components mounted to the PCB without passing through the mounting interface of the first connector. As a result, the current density in the PCB adjacent the first connector is reduced relative to current density required to supply current to all components through the mounting interface of the first connector. The PCB may have fewer layers than a conventional PCB assembly supporting comparable functionality.

An electrical connector pair 1 includes a receptacle connector 1a and a plug connector 1b. The receptacle connector 1a includes a first partition wall 12a, and the plug connector 1b includes a second partition wall 12b. When the receptacle connector 1a and the plug connector 1b are fitted together, the first partition wall 12a partitions a portion of the boundary between a third holder and a fourth holder where the second partition wall 12b is not formed such that a first contact 10a and a third contact 10b cannot be seen from a second contact and a fourth contact.

A connector (50) according to the present disclosure is a connector (50) to be mounted on a circuit board (CB2) and to be connected to a mating connector (10) including a first shield member (40).
