A terminal module includes an insulating member, a number of conductive terminals, and a conductive plastic. Each conductive terminal includes a fixing portion. The conductive terminals include a group of signal terminals, a first ground terminal and a second ground terminal. The terminal module includes a first rib, a second rib and a groove. The first rib is adjacent to but not in contact with the fixing portion of the first ground terminal. The second rib is adjacent to but not in contact with the fixing portion of the second ground terminal. The present disclosure also relates to a backplane connector having the terminal module. Compared with the prior art, by making the first ground terminal and the second ground terminal non-conducting, it easier to determine the accuracy of the electrical test.

A power distributor (200) with at least two incoming lines (101-103) and a method for manufacturing such a power distributor is suggested. Each incoming line comprises a conductor (106,107) and an individual screen (114). The conductors of the incoming lines are connected at a connection point (V1,V2), which is enclosed by a screen shield (201) that contacts each individual screen (114) of the incoming lines. The screen shield (201) is made from electrically conducting plastic material. Screen shields made from electrically conducting plastic material is easier to manufacture and less expensive than metal screen shields.

A modular electrical connector with broad-side coupled signal conductors in a right angle intermediate portion. Broadside coupling provides balanced pairs for very high frequency operation. The connector is assembled with multiple subassemblies, each of which has multiple pairs of signal conductors. The subassemblies are formed from an insulative portion having grooves in opposite sides into which the intermediate portions of signal conductors. Covers, holding the signal conductors in the grooves, establish the position of the signal conductors relative to reference conductors at the exterior of subassembly, so as to provide a controlled impedance. Lossy material is positioned between the pairs in a subassembly and/or contacts the reference conductors of the subassemblies, and the lossy material of the subassemblies is in turn connected with a conductive structure.

A cable assembly comprising a termination with at least one conductive, compressible member and a conductive ground shield. The conductive, compressible member may be held within a connector module forming the termination such that the conductive compressive member is pressed against, and therefore makes electrical contact with, both an outer conductive layer of the cable and ground structures within the connector module. In some embodiments, these connections may be formed using a conductive, compressible member with an opening configured to receive the end of the cable therethrough. The conductive ground shield may be configured to compress the conductive, compressible member, and to cause the conductive, compressible member to electrically contact the cable's conductive layer. The conductive, compressible member may be formed from a compressible material and may comprise a plurality of conductive particulates configured to provide electrically conductive paths.

An integrated radio frequency (RF) circuit structure may include an active device on a first surface of an isolation layer. The integrated RF circuit structure may also include backside metallization on a second surface opposite the first surface of the isolation layer. A body of the active device is biased by the backside metallization. The integrated RF circuit structure may further include front-side metallization coupled to the backside metallization with a via. The front-side metallization is arranged distal from the backside metallization. The front-side metallization, the via, and the backside metallization may at least partially enclose the active device.
