An optical receptacle connector includes a receptacle housing having housing walls defining a contact cavity and an optical cavity. The receptacle housing includes an upper wall and a lower wall at a front of the receptacle housing defining a card slot receiving a mating edge of an optical module circuit board of a pluggable optical generator module. The upper wall includes an upper wall opening above the card slot. A contact assembly having receptacle contacts is received in the contact cavity to supply power to the pluggable optical generator module to operate a light source of the pluggable optical generator module. A receive optical connector is coupled to the receptacle housing above the upper wall opening and mated with a supply optical connector of the pluggable optical generator module to receive optical signals from the supply optical connector.

A direct mate orthogonal connector for a high density of high speed signals. The connector may include right angle leadframe assemblies with signal conductive elements and ground shields held by a leadframe housing. The leadframe assemblies may each have signal mating ends extending from the signal conductive elements and ground mating ends extending from the ground shield. High frequency performance may be achieved with features on the leadframe housing and on the ground shield. The features may be simple to form yet ensure the positional relationship between the contacts points of the ground mating ends and the contact points of the signal mating ends to sustain forces generated during operating the connector to mate with another connector and/or mount to a board.

An optical receptacle connector includes a receptacle housing defining a contact cavity, an optical cavity, and a card slot at a front of the receptacle housing configured to receive an edge of an optical module circuit board. A contact assembly having receptacle contacts is received in the contact cavity and extend into the card slot to supply power to the pluggable optical generator module to operate a light source. The optical receptacle connector includes a receive optical connector coupled to the receptacle housing having a ferrule holding at least one optical fiber configured to be mated with a supply optical connector of the pluggable optical generator module to receive optical signals from the supply optical connector.

An electrical connector includes a differential signal pair. A portion of each terminal is disposed in an insulative housing and an electrically conductive shield extends around at least a portion of the terminals and a least a portion of the housing. The housing may have a lower surface and a projection extending downward from the lower surface between a portion of a vertical section of each of the terminals. The terminals may have an angled section including a vertical portion having a first width, an angled portion narrower than the vertical portion, and a horizontal portion narrower than the angled portion. The housing may have a housing mating component spaced from a housing body component and aligned with but spaced from the terminals. The terminals may have a planar termination section with a first portion wider than a second portion.

A system is disclosed. The system may include a modular control unit configured to control power to at least one load device. The modular control unit may include a backplate with a recess that includes a set of backplate electrical contacts. The system may also include a contact element configured to receive the power. The system may also include at least one device control assembly configured to be removably coupled to the backplate. The device control assembly may include a set of device control assembly electrical contacts configured to electrically couple with the set of backplate electrical contacts of the backplate when the at least one device control assembly is coupled to the backplate and configured to electrically decouple from the set of backplate electrical contacts when the at least one device control assembly is decoupled from the backplate.

The present disclosure discloses a high-speed connector including an insulating body and a terminal module. The terminal module includes a number of terminal groups. Each terminal group includes a number of ground terminals, a number of signal terminals and a shielding piece. The ground terminal includes a ground pin. The signal terminal includes a signal pin. The shielding piece includes a number of convex portions and a number of surrounding portions. The ground pins and the signal pins are distributed in a staggered manner. At least one ground pin is in contact with the convex portion of the shielding piece. The surrounding portion surrounds the signal pins. When the ground pins and the signal pins are no longer in the same plane or the same row, the shielding piece can prevent cross-talk among signals, thereby improving the transmission quality.

The present disclosure provides a connector and a connector assembly. The connector includes a plurality of guiding blocks and at least one connection port. Each of the plurality of guiding blocks has a first surface, a second surface opposite to the first surface, and a third surface adjacent to the first surface and the second surface. A first guiding groove is disposed on the first surface. A second guiding groove is disposed on the second surface. An engaging hole is inserted between the first guiding groove and the second guiding groove. A locking hole is disposed on the third surface. Each of the at least one connection port is disposed on two adjacent guiding blocks of the plurality of guiding blocks. The connector may be used with a mating connector having fixing bars to engage in the guiding grooves or alternatively with a mating connector having locking pieces to engage in the locking holes.

A backplane connector includes a housing and a number of terminal modules. Each terminal module includes a number of conductive terminals, a metal shield surrounding member, a first metal shield and a second metal shield. The conductive terminal includes a mating portion and a tail portion. The conductive terminals include a first signal terminal and a second signal terminal. The metal shield surrounding member surrounds the mating portions of the first signal terminal and the second signal terminal. The first metal shield and the second metal shield are in contact with the metal shield surrounding member. As a result, the shielding area is increased and the shielding effect is improved.

A connector module, which includes a male connector having a first housing and first terminals accommodated in the first housing; a female connector having a second housing configured such that the first housing is fitted therein and second terminals accommodated in the second housing and a connector connection detecting unit having a pressure sensor configured to contact at least one side of the first housing when the first housing is entirely fitted into the second housing, the connector connection detecting unit being configured to transmit a connection state of the male connector and the female connector to an external device.

Disclosed is an electrical connector, comprising: a light guiding member, having a light guiding plate, a plurality of light outputting rings and a light incident structure, the plurality of light outputting rings being formed on a front side of the light guiding plate, the light incident structure being formed on a rear side of the light guiding plate and disposed relatively to a center area of the light outputting rings; a plurality of board end receptacles; a front panel, having a plurality of front panel holes, each front panel hole allowing one board end receptacle and one light outputting ring to be embedded therein respectively; and a light source, facing toward a light incident surface of the light incident structure.
