An electrical connector system for providing an electrical connection between a first electrode and a second electrode printed onto a substrate. The system comprises a male connector comprising the first electrode located proximal to a first end of the male connector and a female connector comprising a coupling portion forming a cavity with an opening into which the first end of the male connector may be received, the coupling portion having one or more biasing surfaces that each oppose a base of the female connector. The electrical connector system is configured such that when the male connector is urged into the coupling portion, the first electrode is urged towards the base of the female connector by the one or more biasing surfaces to form an electrical connection between the first electrode and the second electrode positioned between the base and the first end of the male connector.

A connector terminal including a cable fixing unit connected to a signal transmission cable, an upper contact-pressing unit configured to extend in one direction from the cable fixing unit, and a lower contact-pressing unit configured to extend from the cable fixing unit in parallel to the upper contact-pressing unit with a predetermined gap from the upper contact-pressing unit. At least one of the upper contact-pressing unit and the lower contact-pressing unit is provided to be elastically movable to increase or decrease the gap.

The electrical connector includes a main body including an insertion opening into which a connection target is inserted and an accommodation space to accommodate the connection target inserted into the insertion opening, conductive contact held in the main body so as to be connected to the connection target in the accommodation space, a cover member rotatably mounted on the main body so as to be rotatable around a rotation axis passing through the main body, and a stopper portion which restricts a rotation range of the cover member with respect to the main body.

A communication system includes a first circuit card assembly having a first PCB and a first electrical connector having a receptacle housing and a mating housing received in the receptacle housing and being movable in the receptacle housing in a connector mating direction along a connector mating axis. The second circuit card assembly includes a second PCB and a second electrical connector having a header housing holding second contacts. The first PCB and/or the second PCB includes a slot receiving the other PCB in a board loading direction. The receptacle housing is coupled to the header housing in the board loading direction and the mating housing is movable within the receptacle housing toward the header housing in a connector mating direction generally perpendicular to the board loading direction.

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.

A flat conductor electric connector includes: a housing; multiple terminals arrayed and held in a terminal array direction; a metal fitting arranged outside a terminal array area in the terminal array direction and held on the housing; and a movable member movable between a closed position and an open position, in which the movable member has a locking portion, and removal of a flat conductor from the housing is blocked by the locking portion, and is allowed by release of the locking portion, the metal fitting has a body portion adjacent to the movable member with a plate surface at a right angle to the terminal array direction, and a biasing portion on the movable member, the body portion having a movable arm portion deformable in a thickness direction of the flat conductor, the biasing portion extending from the movable arm portion toward the movable member biasing the movable member.

A connector terminal including a cable fixing unit connected to a signal transmission cable, an upper contact-pressing unit configured to extend in one direction from the cable fixing unit, and a lower contact-pressing unit configured to extend from the cable fixing unit in parallel to the upper contact-pressing unit with a predetermined gap from the upper contact-pressing unit, At least one of the upper contact-pressing unit and the lower contact-pressing unit is provided to be elastically movable to increase or decrease the gap.
