An electrical connector includes an insulative housing with a plurality of passageways extending through opposite upper and lower surfaces thereof, and a plurality of contacts retained in the corresponding passageways, respectively. The contact includes a main body, a spring arm extending from an upper end of the main body with a contacting section at a free end region thereof, and a tab extending upwardly from the main body for assembling the contact into the corresponding passageway. An auxiliary part extends from a side edge of the main body at an angle with a solder pad at the bottom end for securing a solder ball thereto. The tab is dimensioned to allow a fixture to grasp thereon for applying a downward force thereto during downwardly inserting the contact into the passageway, and is optionally adapted to be removed when the contact is moved to almost the final position.

A connecting element for at least two energy storage cells, having a metal sheet for the electrical connection of the energy storage cells. The metal sheet has at least two perforations for the uptake in each perforation of at least a part of an energy storage cell. Two lugs provided on the metal sheet project into the perforations.

An electrical connector includes an insulating body having a bottom plate with receiving slots and multiple terminals received in the receiving slots. Each receiving slot has two opposite first side walls, and a second and third side walls connecting the first side walls. A protruding block protrudes from the second side wall toward the third side wall. Each terminal has a plate portion, an elastic arm and a material connecting portion extending upward from the plate portion, a contact portion at a top end of the elastic arm to urge a chip module, and two clamping portions bending and extending from two opposite sides of the plate portion horizontally. The plate portion and the material connecting portion are limited between the protruding block and the third side wall. Tin balls are fixed between the clamping portions, and soldered to a circuit board. The tin balls are below the protruding block.

An electrical connector configured to be mated with a corresponding counter connector to establish an electrical connection is presented. The connector includes a connector housing having at least one terminal cavity for receiving at least one female contact terminal. The cavity defines a first cavity portion and a second cavity portion. A step is arranged between the first and the second cavity portion. A female contact terminal likewise comprises a step arranged between first and second terminal portions such that, in a mounted condition, the respective steps of terminal cavity and female contact terminal engage each other.

The invention relates to a contact element, made of an electrically conductive contact material. In order to provide a contact element which can be passed repeatedly and non-destructively through a housing or a seal of a plug connector in and/or opposite to a direction of insertion (E), a contact element is provided comprising a body extending in the direction of insertion (E) and a position securing element disposed on an upper side of the body, projecting upwards out of an opening in the body transversely to the direction of insertion (E), and that can be deflected elastically, the position securing element having a slope surface that is inclined against the direction of insertion (E), adjoining which, without any kinks or edges, are a curved section and an end section, and the end section ending with a free end within the cubature of the body.

A composite connector includes an insulative base having a seat and a tongue plate extended forward from the seat, a first insulative board attached onto the seat and arranged in parallel to the tongue and on one side of the first surface, a plurality of first conductive terminal pieces located on an outer side of the first insulative board and away from the tongue, a second insulative board attached onto the base and arranged in parallel to the tongue plate and on one side of the second surface, a plurality of second conductive terminal pieces located on an outer side of the second insulative board and away from the tongue plate, and a plurality of first elastic connecting terminals arranged between the first surface and the first insulative board. Accordingly, the technical effect of transmission for multiple transmission interfaces is achieved.

Sensor package is provided that includes a package housing defining a receiving cavity and having a package side. The package side includes a detector opening therethrough. The sensor package also includes a sensor module held by the package housing and disposed within the receiving cavity. The sensor module has a sensor side that is aligned with the detector opening such that the sensor side is exposed to a detection space. The sensor module also includes a conductive pathway that is configured to transmit signals that are based on an environmental parameter detected by the sensor module. The sensor package also includes an electrical contact that is coupled to the package housing. The electrical contact includes a contact finger. The contact finger is engaged to the conductive pathway and exerts a normal force against the conductive pathway.

A receptacle connector assembly includes a receptacle cage mounted to a circuit board having walls defining a cavity including a module channel that receives a pluggable module. The receptacle connector assembly includes a communication connector received in the cavity and mounted to the circuit board. The communication connector has a housing holding a contact array including ground and signal contacts extending between mating and mounting ends of the housing. The ground contacts have ground mating ends and ground mounting ends including compliant pins press-fit into plated vias of the circuit board. The signal contacts have signal mating ends and signal mounting ends including deflectable spring beams deflected against the circuit board when the communication connector is mounted to the circuit board.

A contact member includes a base portion including a joint portion solderable to a first conductor; and an elastic contact portion formed continuously to the base portion and including a contact portion contactable with a second conductor. The base portion and the elastic contact portion form an integrated molded body include a metal thin plate having electrical conductivity and spring characteristic. The plate is a clad material including two or more metal layers stacked in a plate thickness direction of the plate, a first layer serving as one surface layer of the two or more stacked metal layers includes a metal member having a spring characteristic, and a second layer serving as another surface layer of the two or more stacked metal layers includes an aluminum member, the joint portion includes the first layer or the first layer that is plated, and the contact portion includes the second layer.

A contact in one aspect of the present disclosure comprises a fixing portion, an elastic contact piece, and a pair of projecting tabs, which are formed as an integrated entity from a metal thin plate. The projecting tabs project from the fixing portion at positions on both sides of the elastic contact piece. A dimension of the elastic contact piece in a width direction, which matches the direction of an interval between the projecting tabs, is a first dimension. The projecting tabs are formed such that each projecting tab is a flat plate having the same thickness as the thin plate. The projecting tabs are arranged such that the thickness directions thereof are the same direction, in locations that have inner surfaces of the projecting tabs facing each other, and an interval between the inner surfaces is a second dimension greater than the first dimension.
