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.

Disclosed are exemplary embodiments of multiband MIMO vehicular antenna assemblies. In an exemplary embodiment, a multiband MIMO vehicular antenna assembly generally includes a chassis and an outer cover or radome. The outer cover is coupled to the chassis such that an interior enclosure is collectively defined by the outer cover and the chassis. An antenna carrier or inner radome is within the interior enclosure. The antenna carrier has inner and outer surfaces spaced apart from the chassis and the outer cover. One or more antenna elements are along and/or in conformance with the outer surface of the antenna carrier so as to generally follow the contour of a corresponding portion of the antenna carrier.

A mating connector that is rotatable and wet-mateable is disclosed herein. The connector has mating components that can be characterized as male and female. The connector may have one or more electrical and/or non-electrical contacts. As used herein, “wet-mateable” or “wet-connectable” means proper mating of the male and female components can be achieved even in the presence of conductive fluid. Being rotatable means the male and female components can be rotated independently during the mating process. A male component of a rotatable and wet-mateable mating connector is provided that has conductive and non-conductive sealing elements. A female component of the rotatable and wet-mateable mating connector is provided having conductive elements that are complementary to the male component. The male component is inserted into a chamber within the female component to produce the rotatable and wet-mateable mating connector.

An anisotropic conductive film including an electrically insulating adhesive layer, and electrically conductive particles disposed on the electrically insulating adhesive layer. In such an anisotropic conductive film, the electrically conductive particles are disposed in a lattice by being arranged in first direction rows and second direction rows, and narrow and wide intervals are provided between neighboring rows in at least one of the direction rows. As a result, opposing terminals are stably connected using the anisotropic conductive film, inspection after the connecting is more easily performed, and the number of electrically conductive particles not involved in the connection are reduced and, thereby, the manufacturing cost of the anisotropic conductive film is reduced, even in FOG connections or the like with finer bump pitches.

A method and structure is provided for constructing elastomeric pin arrays using solder interconnects and a non-conductive medium. Pin to pin interconnects are constructed using a solder connection through a non-conductive medium. This structure eliminates the need for PCB structures as the medium, reducing manufacturing cost. In another embodiment one or more elastomeric columns extend through holes or openings in the non conductive medium. The elastomeric columns are fixed securely within the holes preferably with adhesive material. Compression stops are provided on both sides of each elastomeric column for both the upper and bottom surfaces of the non conductive medium.
