An image forming apparatus includes an image forming unit configured to form an image on a recording material; a fixing unit configured to heat the image in order to fix the image to the recording material; a control board; a support member, wherein the control board is attached to the support member; and a mounting portion, wherein the support member is attached to the mounting portion. The support member includes a side wall. A height of the side wall is smaller than twice a distance between the side wall and the connector on the control board under a state in which the control board is attached to the support member, and is larger than a height from a bottom surface of the support member to an upper surface of the control board.

Angled electrical header connectors comprise a housing with a first electrical terminal port and a second electrical terminal port oriented apart from one another. A first electrical terminal is disposed within the first electrical terminal port, and a first electrical insulator is interposed between the first electrical terminal port and the first electrical terminal. A second electrical terminal is disposed within the second electrical terminal port, and a second electrical insulator is interposed between the second electrical terminal port and the second electrical terminal. A passage exists between the first electrical terminal port and the second electrical terminal port, and one of the first electrical terminal or the second electrical terminal extends into the electrical terminal port of the other of the first electrical terminal or the second electrical terminal to make an electrical-mechanical connection therebetween in situ within the housing.

An electrical connector includes an insulative housing, a plurality of contacts assembled in the housing, a plurality of cylindrical mating ports located on and forwardly extending from a front face of the housing, and a plurality of LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) disposed in the housing behind the front face thereof. The mating port includes a majority part and a minority part engaged with each other wherein the majority part has the material same with or similar to that of the housing and is spaced away from the LED while the minority part is essentially translucent or transparent for light transmission/guiding and intimately confronts the LED.

An electrical connector system includes a connector with a plug. A shroud extends over a portion of the plug and is coupled with the plug. A conductive socket is configured for receiving the plug of the connector. The socket includes a groove formed on an outer surface thereof. The shroud includes spring fingers having a lock portion thereon configured for engaging the groove for securing the connector in the socket. A collar is slidably mounted on the conductive socket and is configured for sliding between a locked position proximate to the socket groove and an unlocked position. The collar is further configured for engaging the spring fingers of the connector shroud in the locked position to hold the finger lock portions engaged with the groove to lock the connector in the socket.

A receptacle connector assembly includes a receptacle cage having walls defining a cavity and a divider in the cavity including upper and lower panels separated by a gap and separating the cavity into upper and lower module channels receiving corresponding pluggable modules. The receptacle connector assembly includes a communication connector in the cavity having a housing holding upper and lower contact modules. The receptacle connector assembly includes a light pipe assembly including a first light pipe member coupled to the communication connector and a second light pipe member coupled to the divider. The second light pipe member receives light from the first light pipe member at a separable mating interface.

A shield terminal (T) includes inner conductors (52) to be connected to front parts of cores (62) of a shielded cable (60), a dielectric (46) configured to accommodate the inner conductors (52), a tubular member (12) forming part of an outer conductor (10) and configured to surround and hold the dielectric (46). Two divided shells (18, 35) have a half-divided shape, are separate from the tubular member (12), and form part of the outer conductor (10). The divided shells (18,35) are to be connected to a front part of a shield layer (65) of the shielded cable (60). A first cover (19) and a second cover (36) are formed on a lower member (18) and an upper member (35) and surround the cores (62) over an entire periphery between a rear end of the tubular member (12) and a front end of the shield layer (65).
