A plug connector of the present disclosure includes a plug housing and a plurality of plug terminals stored in the plug housing. This plug connector is fitted in a receptacle connector having a receptacle terminal, and is connected to a cable having a sheet shape and including a cable terminal, thereby establishing electrical connection between the receptacle terminal and the cable terminal. Each of the plug terminals has a contact section and a connection section. The contact section is contactable with the receptacle terminal, and the connection section is connectable to the cable terminal. In a state in which the plug connector is fitted in the receptacle connector, the connection section is disposed such that the connection section is exposed from the plug housing.

A cable termination assembly configured for mounting to an interior portion of a printed circuit board. The cable termination assembly has a frame shaped to receive a paddle card to which a plurality of cables are terminated. A lid, when closed, may force the paddle card into contact with an interposer, which in turn may be pressed into a printed circuit board on which the cable termination assembly is mounted. Electrical signals may pass between the cables and traces in the printed circuit board via the paddle card and interposer. The termination assembly may be mounted near a processor or other high speed component on the printed circuit board, enabling high speed signals to be coupled with low loss between a periphery of the printed circuit board, or even a location off the printed circuit board, and the high speed component.

Provided is a data signal transmission connector configured to electrically connect a first electronic component and a second electronic component includes a first base frame and a second base frame having a structure which are mirror-symmetrical, the first base frame and the second base frame being disposed to face each other and to be spaced apart from each other.

A card edge connector (1) is provided with: a housing (11); a hood (10) that is attached to an edge of a circuit substrate (S) and that fits to the housing (11); a connection terminal (12) that is attached to the housing (11) and that has an elastic contact piece (12G) which is in contact with a surface of the circuit substrate (S) and has a pressure receiving part (12F) which is pressed and displaces the elastic contact piece (12G) on the surface of the circuit substrate (S); and a pressure keeping member (13) that is attached to the housing (11) and that has a pressing part (13D) for pressing the pressure receiving part (12F). The hood (10) has a slant section (10E) along which the pressure keeping member (13) is displaced such that as the fitting of the hood (10) to the housing (11) progresses, the press stroke of the pressing part (13D) toward the pressure receiving part (12F) increases. As the press stroke increases, the elastic contact piece (12G) is displaced toward a substrate accommodation part (11D) where the circuit substrate (S) is accommodated, and comes into contact with the surface of the circuit substrate (S) while pressing the surface of the circuit substrate (S).

A hermetically-sealed edge-connect header that can withstand high temperatures, high pressures (or high vacuum levels), and high vibration environments, along with two corresponding connectors are disclosed. After brazing the edge-connect header components, the assembly is machined to form a slot with a portion of each of a plurality of electrical conductors removed in the machining process, resulting in a header with a high pin density. During the process of mating the first connector design to the edge-connect header, a plurality of wipers in the connector deflect, thereby causing the wipers to extend from the connector and contact the corresponding electrical conductors in the header. During the process of mating the second connector design to the edge-connect header, each of a plurality of wipers formed of low-mass, compliant metal wool, forms multiple contact points with a corresponding electrical conductor in the header.
