A plug connector includes: an insulative housing including a main body, a reinforcement projecting forward from the main body, and a pair of baffle plates; and a printed circuit board partially received in the insulative housing, the printed circuit board extending forward from the main body and beyond the reinforcement, the reinforcement wrapping on the printed circuit board, wherein a width of a front end of the printed circuit board exposed outside the main body in a horizontal direction is greater than a width of the reinforcement, and a limiting groove is formed between the baffle plate and the printed circuit board for guiding the plug connector to mate with a socket connector.

A cable connector housing attachment for protecting and directing a cable including an anchor portion configured for attachment to a cable connector housing; and a cable guide portion comprising a base wall, a first side wall, and a second side wall each extending from the anchor portion in the direction of the cable from the cable connector housing, wherein the first side wall comprises a guiding edge opposite the anchor portion, wherein the guiding edge creates a non-parallel and non-perpendicular angle relative to the direction of the cable from the cable connector housing, and wherein the guiding edge directs a bend of the cable in a direction offset from the direction of the cable from the cable connector housing.

Apparatuses, systems, and associated methods of manufacturing are described that provide a retention clip for securing a cable connection to a printed circuit board (PCB). An example retention clip includes a bottom support member, a top support member, and a hinge element attached to the top support member and the bottom support member. The hinge element allows movement of the retention clip between a locked position and an unlocked position. The retention clip further defines an opening configured to receive one or more cable connections therethrough. In the locked position, the top support member is folded about the hinge element so as to engage the bottom support member and secure the cable connection disposed within the opening to the PCB.

A connector includes a connector body, a first elastic member, and a second elastic member. The connector body has an insertion hole that allows a connection member to be inserted thereinto. The connection member has a plate shape or a sheet shape. Each of the first and second elastic members is a conductive member that includes a base fixed to the connector body. The first and second elastic members are elongated in a thickness direction of the connection member and butted against each other so as to partially block the insertion hole. The thickness direction intersects an insertion direction of the connection member.

A protector is configured to protect a belt-like flexible board where a wiring pattern is provided. The protector includes a first accommodation portion configured to accommodate the flexible board so as to be slidable in a length direction of the flexible board, a second accommodation portion configured to accommodate the flexible board in a position different from the first accommodation portion in the length direction, and a bendable coupling portion that connects between the first accommodation portion and the second accommodation portion. The coupling portion is structured so that under a condition where the coupling portion is curved, deformation of the flexible board in a direction away from the coupling portion is allowed when the flexible board is slid in the length direction with respect to the first accommodation portion.

A plug as a connector includes a first wiring board, a second wiring board, a plate-shaped ground plate which is provided between the first and the second wiring boards and which includes a first contact point to be brought into contact with first and second ground conductors of the first and the second wiring boards, and a first insulator for holding the first and the second wiring boards, and the ground plate. The first insulator covers at least a part of each of five portions including distal end portions, both side end portions, and two main surface portions, which face outward, of a whole of the first wiring board, the second wiring board, and the ground plate, and holds the ground plate under a pressing state. A portion of at least one side end portion of the ground plate is exposed to the outside of the first insulator.

A connector fixing structure is disclosed. The connector fixing structure includes a cable and a connector. The cable includes a plurality of conductors. The connector includes a metal shell, an insulting shell, a plurality of terminals positioned on the insulating shell, and a push-pull device configured to be moved toward the plurality of terminals when the cable is positioned inside the insulating shell such that the plurality of conductors presses the plurality of terminals.

A housing 10 comprises connector-side transmission-permitting portions 10A that permit the transmission of wave signals in the connector-height direction, a circuit board B comprises board-side transmission-permitting portions B1 that permit the transmission of wave signals in the connector-height direction at locations corresponding to the above-mentioned connector-side transmission-permitting portions 10A when the electrical connector 1 is mounted, and, when a counterpart connector component C is inserted all the way to a normal position, the transmission of wave signals permitted in the process of insertion of the above-mentioned counterpart connector component C becomes blocked by the above-mentioned counterpart connector component C, or alternatively, the transmission of wave signals blocked by the above-mentioned counterpart connector component C in the process of insertion of said counterpart connector component C becomes permissible at the locations of the above-mentioned connector-side transmission-permitting portions 10A and the above-mentioned board-side transmission-permitting portions B1.

An electrical connection device includes an electronic component and a docking component. The electronic component includes a first conductor. The first conductor has a first section and a second section extending forward from the first section. The second section has a contact portion. A width of the contact portion in an extending direction of the second section gradually decreases. The docking component includes a second conductor conductively connected to the first conductor to transmit a high-frequency signal. The contact portion abuts the second conductor. The first section is located behind the second conductor. Thus, the cross-sectional area of the abutting location of the contact portion and the second conductor gradually decreases in the extending direction of the second section. That is, the cross-sectional area of the abutting location of the contact portion and the second conductor gradually decreases relative to the cross-sectional area of the first section.
