MULTIBOARD POWER CONNECTOR
20210167531 · 2021-06-03 ·

Multiboard power connector (1) including a housing with a plurality of insertion points to receive multiple circuit boards. The circuit boards, received into the insertion points (12), come into electrical contact with two rails, the rails carrying opposing charges. The rails comprise a first rail and second rail. The first rail defines a longitudinal axis and a first plurality of terminals, while the second rail is divided into at least two portions that are disposed on opposite sides of the first rail, with a second plurality of terminals extending from the two portions. The first plurality of terminals and second plurality of terminals alternate on each side, such that a plurality of terminals, one from each rail, is disposed adjacent to each insertion point. A circuit board, being received at the insertion point, thus contacts one terminal from each rail and thus receives power. This multiboard power connector, as described here and throughout this disclosure, is cheap to make and allows quick attachment of multiple circuit boards to a driver without a multitude of wires.

Spring probe connector for interfacing a printed circuit board with a backplane

A spring probe connector, a device and an assembly for interfacing a daughter card with a backplane. The spring probe connector includes a hollow barrel that defines a first opening and a second opening. The spring probe connector includes a plunger that is received by the first opening. The plunger includes a contact tip that protrudes from the first opening and makes electrical contact with the backplane. The spring probe connector includes one or more springs positioned within the hollow barrel and applies a load onto the plunger. The spring connector includes a contact end that protrudes from the second opening and connects with the printed circuit board of the modular connector assembly.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR

An electrical connector electrically connects a first electrical module and a second electrical module, for insertion by the first electrical module along a first direction. The electrical connector includes a first group of terminals arranged in a row along a second direction, having multiple signal terminals and multiple ground terminals and forming at least one first terminal unit and at least one second terminal unit. Each of the terminals has a contact portion, a tail portion, and a middle portion located between the contact portion and the tail portion. In the second direction, the middle portions of the first terminal unit form a first row of the middle portions, and the middle portions of the second terminal unit form a second row of the middle portions. Viewing from the second direction, the first and second rows of the middle portions are staggered, thus improving the crosstalk.

Plug-in Device

Aspects described herein may allow for a plug-in device including a base having a plurality of apertures extending therethrough. A first PCB has a first surface defining a first plane, and a plurality of pins connected to and extending outwardly from the first surface, with each pin being received in one of the apertures of the base. A bracket secures the first PCB to the base. A second PCB is secured to the bracket, extending outwardly from the first PCB and defining a second plane, with the second plane being at an acute angle with respect to the first plane. An antenna housing is secured to the bracket and the second PCB and includes at least a first antenna. A cover is releasably secured to the base.

Sockets that have a simplified design and are readily manufactured, and also provide easy access for users to change cards while allowing the use of thinner device enclosures.

CONNECTOR, FRAME DEVICE, AND CONNECTOR ASSEMBLY METHOD

A connector, a frame device, and a connector assembly method. Some terminal modules in the connector provided in the present disclosure are removed, or some terminal pairs in the terminal module are removed, so that a quantity of terminal pairs included in the connector is reduced without changing an outline dimension of the connector, thereby ensuring an original docking capability of the connector. In addition, a serial connector may be formed based on different quantities of removed terminal modules or removed terminal pairs. In this way, in the frame device, a user may select a connector of a corresponding specification based on an actual specification of a board, instead of selecting connectors of a high specification uniformly.

OBLIQUE-INSERT-PROOF STRUCTURE AND INTERFACE CARD COMPRISING THE SAME
20210028579 · 2021-01-28 ·

An interface card is provided with an oblique-insert-proof structure. The interface card has an inserting portion configured to be inserted into a slot of a motherboard. The oblique-insert-proof structure is configured to abut the slot. The oblique-insert-proof structure has a connecting portion and two end blocking portions. The connecting portion has a groove in an inserting direction and extending in a length direction. The end blocking portions are configured to abut two shorter side surfaces of the slot. The oblique-insert-proof structure is securely mounted on the interface card and the inserting portion is mounted through the groove. When the interface card is mounted on the motherboard, the oblique-insert-proof structure can assist in aligning the inserting portion with the slot. Also, the oblique-insert-proof structure can enhance the strength of the connection between the interface card and the motherboard, so the interface card can be disposed with more components and bear more weight.
