An electrical connector having a housing with a first surface and a second surface. Contact receiving openings extend from the first surface to the second surface. Contacts are positioned in the contact receiving openings. The contacts have base members and resilient contact beams extending from opposed sides of the base members. Sidewalls extend from opposed sides of the base members from which the resilient contact beams do not extend. The contacts also provide multiple electrical pathways across the contacts for electrical signal transmissions, allowing for signal transmissions to transmitted at frequencies of approximately 224 Gbps or greater.

An electrical connector includes a base portion, a tail portion extending from a first side of the base portion, a serpentine portion having a first end connected to a second side of the base portion opposite to the first side, a movable head portion connected to a second end of the serpentine portion, and a housing in which an accommodation chamber is formed to accommodate the serpentine portion. The housing has a first end connected with the base portion and a second end provided with a limiting portion confining the serpentine portion within the accommodation chamber. The head portion is movable so as to pass through the limiting portion. The electrical connector is made of a single piece of metal.

The connector includes an insulative housing having a frame configuration, and a plurality of contacts disposed in the housing. The electronic package includes an upper part and a lower part extending downwardly from the upper part. The upper part includes on a peripheral region a flange extending beyond the lower part laterally. The housing include a bar unit with an opening, and a receiving space defined in the bar unit. The bar unit forms opposite upper surface and lower surface thereof. The contacts includes a first contacting section extending upwardly above the upper surface and a second contacting section extending downwardly below the lower surface. The lower part is restrained in the receiving space while he flange is seated upon the housing.

Disclosed is a linearly moveable sliding contact element having a transport device. Linearly moveable sliding contact elements of this type having a transport device are required to electrically contact conductor paths of circuit boards with one another, the circuit boards being oriented in parallel with one another and arranged above one another. In addition, the sliding contact element is arranged on a spindle of the transport device having an outer thread. Via a rotation of the transport device, the sliding contact element can be moved in a linear manner along the spindle by the outer thread. A first bearing and a second bearing are provided at the ends of the spindle. The bearings permit a mounting of the transport device between two circuit boards arranged in parallel with one another.

A socket includes a first housing and a second housing each including a housing recessed portion capable of housing and holding a contact provided at its first end with a first contact portion and at its second end with a second contact portion while the first and second contact portions each are exposed, and a positioning member which positions the first and second housings independently of each other such that the housing recessed portion of the first housing and the housing recessed portion of the second of housing are disposed adjacent to each other to be paired.

To provide an electric component socket in which a pressing surface of a pressing member is prevented from contacting a contact pin when the socket is pressed by the pressing surface in a state where a first electric component is not housed in the socket. A pressing surface of a pressing mechanism contacts a first electric component when the pressing mechanism is moved downward in a state where the first electric component is housed in a plate. On the other hand, when the pressing mechanism is moved downward in a state where the first electric component is not housed in the plate, a push-up member is lifted up with the plate to push up the pressing surface. Therefore, the pressing surface is moved upward to prevent the pressing surface from contacting the contact pin.

An interposer assembly having a housing with contact positioning holes each having a first wall face and a second wall face. The interposer contact has a base portion with shoulder portions and contact arm portions. The base portion is closer to the first wall face. The contact arm portions are once bulged from both respective vertical ends of the base portion toward the first wall face and then curved toward the second wall face. The housing has a retaining protrusion and a pair of slit portions. The retaining protrusion retains the interposer contact inside the contact positioning hole. Each of the shoulder portions is inserted into the slit portion. The slit portion blocks the interposer contact from moving toward the second wall face.

An electronic device includes a housing having a first opening, an electric component in the housing, and a circuit board attached to the housing having an outer surface that covers the first opening and at least partially exposed to an outside of the housing. The circuit board includes first conductors exposed to the outside of the housing in the outer surface, and a second conductor that extends along the outer surface and is insulated from the plurality of first conductors. The electronic device further includes a first connector mounted in the outer surface. The first connector includes contactors electrically connected to the first conductors, and a support base having a second opening through the circuit board in a thickness direction and elastically deformable in the second opening. The circuit board includes third conductors at positions overlapping the contactors and insulated from the first conductors and the second conductor.

The present invention provides for a method and structure for forming three-dimensionally routed dielectric wires between discrete points on the two or more parallel circuit planes. The wires may be freely routed in three-dimensional space as to create the most efficient routing between the two arbitrarily defined points on the two or more parallel circuit planes. Metalizing the outer surfaces of these three dimensional dielectric wires electrically coupling the discrete wires to their respective discrete contact points. Two or more of these wires may be in intimate contact to one another electrically coupling to each other as well as to two or more discrete contact pads. These electrically coupled contact pads may be on opposite sides or on the same side of the structure and the formed metalized wires may originate on one side and terminate on the other or originate and terminate from the same side.

An electric contact having a contact resistance that is hardly increased even if the electric contact is repeatedly used for a long period of time. A base material of an electric contact is provided with a first contact part that is in contact with a first electrode of a first electric component, a second contact part that is in contact with a second electrode of a second electric component, and a spring part that presses the first contact part to the first electrode, and a wear-resistant contact point film is formed on a distal end portion of the first contact part. Furthermore, a highly conductive film is formed between a region of the wear-resistant contact point film and a distal end portion of the second contact part in the base material.
