Coaxial connector seizure assembly with integrated mechanical stop and a hybrid fiber-coaxial (HFC) module implementing same
A coaxial seizure assembly is disclosed that includes an integrated mechanical stop that prevents over-insertion and maintains a nominal/expected impedance value to enable high-frequency switching, e.g., 1.8-3 Ghz or greater. In more detail, the coaxial seizure assembly includes a coaxial receptacle defined by an opening configured to at least partially receive and couple to a coaxial connector. The opening communicates with a seizure cavity defined within the coaxial seizure assembly. A radio frequency (RF) interconnect at least partially extends into the seizure cavity, with the RF interconnect having a first end to electrically couple to an electrical component and a second end that extends a predetermined angle relative to the first end, e.g., substantially 90 degrees. The second end defines a mating surface that aligns within the seizure cavity such that an imaginary line drawn along an insertion path of a coaxial cable conductor pin intersects with the mating surface.
Electrical connector assembly with RF impedance element
A connector and shielding ring for use with the connector includes a male portion with a shroud and a center conductor and a female portion with a jack and a socket positioned to receive the center conductor. A conductive shielding ring is positioned between the mated connector portions. The shielding ring has a body configured for surrounding flexible tines of the female portion jack and is configured to be captured between the tines and the shroud for providing a grounding path between the male and female portions of the connector. The shielding ring body has an inner surface with a diameter and an outer surface with a diameter and has a taper portion formed on a distal end of the shielding ring body for engaging a surface of the shroud. The shielding ring body has a lip extending radially inwardly at the proximal end for engaging the tines of the female portion when the male and female portions of the connector are mated.
COAXIAL CONNECTOR INCLUDING CRIMP HOUSING
The present invention provides a coaxial connector capable of reducing harness processing steps. A coaxial connector includes a contact by three-point contact, a housing including a first and a second connection base, and a shell including a cylindrical portion accommodating the first connection base and an extension portion accommodating the second connection base. The central conductor of a cable is placed on an installation surface of a contact located in a predetermined part of a housing, and a crimp housing with a slot cut out to allow pressure on the periphery of the center conductor is used. The crimp housing is held in the housing and enclosed and tightened by a pair of crimp barrels (the first barrel) provided in the shell. This allows the central conductor to be securely crimped to the installation surface of the contact.
Connector assembly with direct mount housing
An electrical connector assembly includes a housing configured to receive an electrical terminal. Opposed sides of the housing each define a pair of parallel locking ribs forming a locking slot therebetween. Each locking slot is configured to receive a locking arm extending from a separate mounting bracket.
Angled Connector and Method of Assembling an Angled Connector
An angled connector includes a connector housing, a terminal support held by the connector housing, and a first terminal held in the terminal support. The connector housing has a first terminal passage and a second terminal passage extending at an angle to the first terminal passage. The first terminal passage and the second terminal passage intersect one another in an intersection region. The terminal support is slidable relative to the connector housing along the first terminal passage from a first position to a second position. The first terminal at least partially extends into the first terminal passage. The first terminal is closer to the second terminal passage in the second position than in the first position, and the first terminal is at least partially arranged in the intersection region in the second position.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR ASSEMBLY AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE COMPRISING SAME
An electrical connector assembly has a first connector, to which a cable is connected, a second connector, which is mounted to a mounting face of a support member and into/from which the first connector is inserted/removed, and an intermediate member that prevents disengagement of the first connector from the second connector. The intermediate member has a mountable portion mounted directly, or mounted indirectly through an intermediary member, to the second connector, and a locking portion that prevents upward disengagement of the first connector, and, while the mountable portion is mounted to the second connector, the intermediate member is enabled for operational movement relative to the second connector between an open position that allows for the insertion/removal of the first connector into or from the second connector and a locked position in which disengagement of the first connector is prevented by the locking portion.
Ultra-high frequency super thin coaxial RF connector assembly
An ultra-high frequency super thin coaxial RF connector assembly comprising a combination of an ultra-high frequency super thin coaxial RF board side connector and an ultra-high frequency super thin coaxial RF wire side connector, wherein the arrangement of a traditionally conventional board side connector center terminal is omitted for the ultra-high frequency super thin coaxial RF board side connector, for the ultra-high frequency super thin coaxial RF wire side connector to transfer an RF signal to a circuit board directly without using an RF board side center terminal. As such, there is no need to arrange a board side center terminal in the Ultra high frequency super thin coaxial RF board side connector, so that a board side shield terminal in the Ultra high frequency super thin coaxial RF board side connector may provide an electrical shield more effectively, allowing the ultra-high frequency super thin coaxial RF connector assembly of the present invention to be capable of providing an RF signal in an UHF (Ultra High Frequency) millimeter wave band above 30 GHz for transmission.
DEVICE AND METHOD FOR LOCKING MULTIPLE ANGULAR CONNECTORS
A device for securing at least two angular connectors includes a first component, which includes at least two first openings; at least two second openings defined through a perimeter wall structure, which extends about the first wall structure; and at least two wall members including at least two first channels. Each of the at least two wall members extend between one of the at least two second openings and one of the at least two first openings. A second component positioned below the first component includes a second wall structure defining at least two third openings, at least two second channels extending between one of the at least two third openings and one of the at least a two fourth openings of second perimeter wall. Each of the at least second channels slope extending downwardly toward the second perimeter wall facilitating drainage of moisture.
