According to an embodiment, a high-speed transmission connector includes: a row of first contacts, a row of second contacts, a row of third contacts, a row of fourth contacts, an upper housing that supports the row of first contacts, a lower housing that supports the row of second contacts, and an inner housing that supports the row of third contacts and the row of fourth contacts. The upper housing, the lower housing, and the inner housing are assembled in such a manner that the upper housing and the lower housing face each other in a vertical direction with a gap therebetween, and the inner housing is accommodated in the upper housing and the lower housing. The gap forms a slot into which a header of a device as a communicating counterpart is to be fitted.

A plug connector includes a tongue plate, a metal shell and a plug power terminal. At least one side of the tongue plate is provided with a number of conductive pads arranged at intervals along a transverse direction. The metal shell includes a receiving space for receiving the tongue plate. The plug power terminal is located on at least one side of the conductive pads in the transverse direction. The present disclosure also discloses a receptacle connector matched with the plug connector. The receptacle connector includes a receptacle power terminal. The present disclosure also discloses a connector assembly having the plug connector and the receptacle connector. Compared with the prior art, the present disclosure enables the plug connector, the receptacle connector and the connector assembly to have a power supply function by providing the plug power terminal and the receptacle power terminal.

A header connector includes a body, a staggered column of L-shaped connector pins of two different lengths extending in a same direction from a first side of the body, and a staggered column of mating pins on a second side of the body opposite the first side. Each one of the mating pins is connected with one of the connector pins.

An electrical connector for high speed signals. The connector has multiple conductive elements that may serve as signal or ground conductors. A member formed with lossy material and conductive compliant members may be inserted in the connector. The conductive compliant members may be aligned with conductive elements of the connector configured as ground conductors. For a connector configured to carry differential signals, the ground conductors may separate pairs of signal conductors. The member may further include a conductive web, embedded within the lossy material, that interconnects the conductive compliant members. For a receptacle connector, the conductive elements may have mating contact portions aligned along opposing surfaces of a cavity. The conductive elements may have contact tails for attachment to a printed circuit board and intermediate portions connecting the mating contact portions and the contact tails. The conductive compliant members may press against the intermediate portions.

A connector includes a metal shell, a terminal module fixed to the metal shell, and a cable electrically connected to the terminal module. The metal shell includes a main body and a shielding plate integrally formed with the main body. The terminal module includes a first terminal module and a second terminal module disposed on opposite sides of the shielding plate, respectively. By providing the first terminal module and the second terminal module on the opposite sides of the shielding plate, the signal shielding of the first terminal module and the second terminal module can be improved. Besides, by arranging the shielding plate and the main body integrally, the manufacturing cost can be saved. A connector assembly having the connector is also disclosed.

A connector includes: a terminal part including a terminal fitting and a housing; and a first end part and a second end part configured to be arranged on the substrate in an arrangement direction. The terminal part includes a first locking portion provided in the housing and configured to be locked to adjacent parts on both sides in the arrangement direction. Each of the first end part and the second end part includes: a fixing portion configured to be fixed to the substrate; and a second locking portion configured to be locked to the first locking portion of an adjacent terminal part in the arrangement direction. The first end part, the terminal part, and the second end part are connected while being arranged in this order on the substrate.

A microelectronic socket structure and a method of forming the same. The socket structure comprises: a socket structure housing defining a cavity therein; and an interconnection structure including: a contact element disposed at least in part within the cavity, and configured to be electrically coupled to a corresponding microelectronic package, the contact element corresponding to one of a signal contact element or a ground contact element; and a conductive structure disposed at least in part within the cavity, electrically coupled to the contact element, and having an outer contour that is non-conformal with respect to an outer contour of the contact element.

An electrical connector suited for being assembled to a circuit board is provided. The electrical connector includes an insulating body, a plurality of terminals disposed in the insulating body, a first metallic shell sheathing the insulating body to form an insertion space, a second metallic shell superposed on the first metallic shell, and a metallic plate disposed in the insulating body. The second metallic shell has a rear plate opposite to the rear interface, and is not electrically connected to the circuit board. The metallic plate has at least one bending extending out of the insulating body to abut the rear plate, such that the metallic plate and the second metallic shell are electrically conducted.

A pin terminal includes a bar-like base material and a plating layer covering a predetermined region of the base material. A constituent material of the base material is pure copper or a copper alloy. The plating layer includes a tin-based layer made of metal containing tin. One end side of the base material includes a tip covering portion covering an entire region in a circumferential direction of the base material. The tin-based layer includes the tip covering portion. The tip covering portion includes a thin film portion and a thick film portion at positions different in the circumferential direction of the base material. The thin film portion is provided in contact with the base material. The number of whiskers present on a surface of the thin film portion is 15 or less in a square visual field having one side length of 0.35 mm.

The present disclosure proposes a board-to-board connector terminal and a connector. The board-to-board connector terminal comprises: a male connector terminal including a first part; and a female connector terminal including a second part, wherein in the case of the male connector terminal and the female connector terminal adaptively installed, the male connector terminal is in contact with the female connector terminal; when the male connector terminal is detached from the female connector terminal, the second part abuts against the first part to prevent the male connector terminal being detached from the female connector terminal; in the case of the male connector terminal forcibly detached from the female connector terminal, the first part pushes the second part to cause the second part to be peeled off, such that the female connector terminal is damaged and does not work properly. With the above-mentioned technical solution, the first part cooperates with the second part to enable the female connector to be damaged after the male connector is detached from the female connector, thereby preventing multiple times of plugging of the connector.
