An electrical connector includes an insulating body having a mating slot and multiple accommodating slots are in communication with the mating slot. Multiple terminals are accommodated in the accommodating slots. The terminals include ground terminals. Each terminal includes a connecting portion, an elastic arm, a tail portion, and an extending portion located between the connecting portion and the tail portion. The extending portion of each terminal extends obliquely downward and backward from the connecting portion. A grounding member is provided on the insulating body. The grounding member has a multiple upper and lower extending arms. A length of each upper extending arm is shorter than a length of each lower extending arm in the front-rear direction. The upper and lower extending arms respectively abut the ground terminals, thus shortening the transmission paths of the terminals. The grounding member and the ground terminals are in stable connection, thus reducing the resonance.

A method of making an electrical connector includes steps of providing an insulative housing with a plurality of passageways; providing a plurality of contacts associated with corresponding carriers unitarily formed thereon, respectively; providing an external fixture discrete from the carriers; retaining the carriers on the external fixture; downwardly moving the external fixture to insert the contacts into the corresponding passageways to reach their final positions in the vertical direction, simultaneously; and removing the carriers from the corresponding contacts, respectively.

An electrical connector includes an insulating body, a first terminal group having a signal terminal pair and a ground terminal arranged on one side of the signal terminal pair, each signal terminal having a tail portion, a contact portion, and a body portion, the body portion having a covering portion and a free portion exposed to air, wherein there is a first center distance between the contact portions of the signal terminal pair, there is a second center distance between the free portions, and there is a third center distance between the covering parts, and a second terminal group forming a first mating port with the first terminal group, wherein the second center distance is smaller than the first center distance, and the third center distance is greater than the second center distance.

Provided is a connector having the smaller number of constituting components while ensuring strength and blocking property of a frame. The connector of the invention includes a frame and is capable of allowing a counter connector to be fitted in an inside of the frame, and the connector includes a lateral wall provided to the frame and surrounding the counter connector which is in a state of being fitted with the connector, a first terminal and a second terminal separately disposed at different positions in the inside of the frame, and a blocking portion disposed between the first terminal and the second terminal in the inside of the frame. The lateral wall is seamlessly continuous over an entire circumference of the frame, and the lateral wall and the blocking portion are formed of a single member and are integrated.

A connector (7) includes: a first connector part (10) having a first module side connection part connected to one end of an OSFP module in the front (F), having a first substrate side connection part connected to a substrate, and installed on the substrate; a second connector part (20) provided at a position such that the first module side connection part is interposed between the substrate and the second connector part (20), having a second module side connection part connected to one end of an OSFP module at the front (F), having a second substrate side connection part connected to the substrate, and stacked on the first connector part (10); and an intermediate part (30) provided between the first connector part (10) and the second connector part (20), and a cooling flow path in which air flows from the front (F) side toward the rear (R) side of the connector (7) is formed in the intermediate part (30).

The present disclosure proposes a board-to-board connector terminal and a connector. The board-to-board connector terminal comprises: a male connector terminal including a first part; and a female connector terminal including a second part, wherein in the case of the male connector terminal and the female connector terminal adaptively installed, the male connector terminal is in contact with the female connector terminal; when the male connector terminal is detached from the female connector terminal, the second part abuts against the first part to prevent the male connector terminal being detached from the female connector terminal; in the case of the male connector terminal forcibly detached from the female connector terminal, the first part pushes the second part to cause the second part to be peeled off, such that the female connector terminal is damaged and does not work properly. With the above-mentioned technical solution, the first part cooperates with the second part to enable the female connector to be damaged after the male connector is detached from the female connector, thereby preventing multiple times of plugging of the connector.

A high voltage side hold-down includes a flat-plate shaped reinforcing plate part, a solder leg projecting downward from the reinforcing plate part, and a hold-down elastic piece supported like a cantilever beam by the reinforcing plate part. The hold-down elastic piece includes an elastic piece body, a contact part projecting upward beyond a CPU board opposed surface, and a displacement restriction part for restricting upward displacement of the contact part, sequentially from the base to the end of the hold-down elastic piece. A housing is formed in such a way that the contact part does not come into contact with the housing when the contact part is displaced downward and no longer projects upward beyond the CPU board opposed surface.

There are provided a connector having excellent transmission characteristics, and a method for manufacturing such a connector, by which a connector can be manufactured more easily than in the conventional techniques, and thus its manufacturing cost can be reduced. A conductor base member including central terminal portions to form signal terminals, a grounded conductor portion to form a grounded conductor, connecting portions for connecting between the central terminal portions and the grounded conductor portion so as to integrate them together is integrally formed with an electrically conductive material. Then, the conductor base member is integrally fixed to the housing, and the connecting portions are cut to configure the central terminal portions as the central terminals and configure the grounded conductor portion as the grounded conductor, thereby obtaining a plug.

A connector is mounted on an input-output board. The connector is interposed between the input-output board and a CPU board, and thereby a plurality of pads of the input-output board and a plurality of pads of the CPU board are respectively electrically connected. The connector includes a rectangular flat-plate housing having a first positioning hole and a second positioning hole, and at least one contact row held on the housing. The first positioning hole is formed at a first housing corner part of the housing. The second positioning hole is formed at a fourth housing corner part, which is at a diagonal position with respect to the first housing corner part, of the housing.

A connector assembly comprises a mating connector and a connector which is configured to be mounted on an object. The mating connector is mateable from above with the connector which is positioned below the mating connector in an up-down direction. The connector comprises a housing and a terminal.
