An electrical connector or electrical connector assembly that has a housing, a contact carrier, one or more spring members, and an interposer or contact system. The contact carrier is movable with respect to the housing between unmated and mated electrical positions.

An electrical connector includes multiple terminals formed by cutting from a metal plate and bending. The portion of the metal plate with the terminals being removed is defined as a base plate. Each terminal has a base portion and an elastic arm connected thereto. The base portion is at least partially horizontally provided to be coplanar to the base plate. A cutting slot is formed between the base plate and the base portion. A through slot is formed between the base plate and the elastic arm. An insulating body is provided with through holes running vertically therethrough. A portion of the cutting slot and the through slot are exposed in a corresponding through hole. The terminals include signal terminals and ground terminals. The base plate forms a connecting portion between the through slot and the cutting slot of each ground terminal to be connected to the ground terminal.

A contact includes a base portion having a first end and a second end, a first extending portion extending from first end of the base portion and having a first contact portion, and a second extending portion extending from the second end of the base portion and having a second contact portion. The base portion extends between the first end and the second end. The base portion has a pair of base portion beams having a first space therebetween. Each of the base portion beams has a press-fit portion protruding from one of the base portion beams toward the other of the base portion beams; the press-fit portions are press-fittable into a housing and supportable by the housing.

A test socket (14) for a testing an integrated circuit (12) with controlled impedance while maintaining the structural integrity of the test pins (20). The pin (20) can have a sidewall with a thick portion 32 and a thinner portion (30) along the length of the pin. The pin can have projections (42) which provide a standoff from the slot (40). The sidewalls themselves can have projections or lands (60, 61) which extend into the slot and provide stability for the pin (20).

An interposer includes a housing having a plurality of through-holes penetrating a first surface and a second surface and a signal contact pair composed of a pair of signal contacts. Each of the signal contacts includes a base portion press-fitted in one of the through-holes, a first contact beam extending from the base portion beyond the first surface, and a second contact beam extending from the base portion beyond the second surface. The pair of signal contacts are positioned adjacently to each other widthwise and are each asymmetrical with respect to a width direction. A first minimum spacing between the first contact beams of the pair of signal contacts is narrower than a second minimum spacing between the base portions of the pair of signal contacts. The signal contact pair has a plane-symmetrical shape with respect to the width direction.

An embedded electrical supply plug has a mounting base and a fastener connected to each other, wherein the mounting base is provided with a power taking contact assembly, a circuit board and a power supply connector that are electrically connected to each other, the mounting base is provided with a first fastening surface, and the fastener is provided with a second fastening surface opposite to the first fastening surface, the fastener and the mounting base are threadedly connected to adjust the distance between the first fastening surface and the second fastening surface. The electrical supply plug is applicable to support arms of different thickness by changing the connection mode, thereby improving the installation flexibility and application range of the electrical supply system.

An interposer assembly including a plate and a plurality of conductive contacts extending through plate passages for forming electrical connections with pads on overlying and underlying substrates.

A bulkhead may include a fixed body having a first contact surface and an exterior fixed body surface, a first electrical contact, and a first spring having a first spring end in contact with the first contact surface and a second spring end in contact with the first electrical contact.

An electrical connector assembly that can quickly and easily be secured to two electrically conductive structures, such as a flat flexible conductor having multiple electrically conductive traces and a printed circuit board having multiple electrically conductive traces, without the use of specialized tools and/or methods is disclosed. The electrical connector assembly includes a housing having a plurality of slots defined therein. An electrical contact is disposed within each of the plurality of slots. Each electrical contact includes a first portion engaged with the housing, a second portion adapted to engage the first electrically conductive structure when inserted within the housing, and an intermediate portion located between the first portion and the second portion and adapted to engage the second electrically conductive structure when inserted within the housing.

A functional contactor is provided. Provided according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention is a functional contactor comprising: a conductor which has elasticity and comes into contact with a conductor of an electronic device; a functional element which is connected to the conductor having elasticity and has a first and a second electrode respectively disposed on at least a part of an upper and a lower surface thereof; and a solder through which a lower surface of the conductor having elasticity is coupled with the first electrode of the functional element. The first electrode includes a first part outwardly extending from the lower surface of the conductor having elasticity along one side surface of the conductor having elasticity, and the solder includes an exposure part formed between the first part and a partial lateral surface of the one side surface of the conductor having elasticity.
