A connector includes a housing, two power supply terminals, and an insert inserted into the housing. The insert includes a base to which the two power supply terminals are mounted, and two support arms extending from the base. Free ends of the two support arms are positioned to support a respective power supply terminal.

A modular electrical connector with broad-side coupled signal conductors in a right angle intermediate portion. Broadside coupling provides balanced pairs for very high frequency operation. The connector is assembled with multiple subassemblies, each of which has multiple pairs of signal conductors. The subassemblies are formed from an insulative portion having grooves in opposite sides into which the intermediate portions of signal conductors. Covers, holding the signal conductors in the grooves, establish the position of the signal conductors relative to reference conductors at the exterior of subassembly, so as to provide a controlled impedance. Lossy material is positioned between the pairs in a subassembly and/or contacts the reference conductors of the subassemblies, and the lossy material of the subassemblies is in turn connected with a conductive structure.

In a connector, fitting a socket housing and a header housing to each other brings a socket-side signal terminal and a header-side signal terminal into contact with each other, and brings a socket-side power supply terminal and a header-side power supply terminal into contact with each other. The socket-side signal terminal and the socket-side power supply terminal are disposed along a long side direction of the socket housing. In the long side direction of the socket housing, the socket-side signal terminal is smaller than the socket-side power supply terminal in width.

In an example, a device includes: a printed circuit board (PCB); at least one solid state drive (SSD) connected at a first side of the PCB via at least one SSD connector; at least one field programmable gate array (FPGA) mounted on the PCB at a second side of the PCB; and at least one connector attached to the PCB at a third side of the PCB, wherein the device is configured to operate in a first speed from a plurality of operating speeds based on a first input received via the at least one connector.

A plug-in holder includes a frame, a first engaging structure and at least one second engaging structure. The frame has a first side and a second side, wherein the first side is opposite to the second side. The first engaging structure is located at the first side. The at least one second engaging structure is located at the second side.

A high speed connector assembly is disclosed in this invention, which includes a receptacle connector and a plug connector. The receptacle connector at least includes an insulating cover and multiple terminal modules being arranged in parallel and retained in the insulating cover. Each differential signal terminal has an L-type base, a front mating portion and a bottom mounting portion. The front mating portion includes a finger-shaped spring and an L-type contact piece. When the receptacle connector and the plug connector are engaged, the finger-shaped spring and the L-type contact piece can respectively and electrically contact with two different surfaces of one plug terminal to form double contacts. The double contacts can suppress the short pile effect and reduce signal crosstalk and signal loss during transmitting the high speed signal.

A connector assembly allows a conductive terminal to provide shielding to reduce any effect of external interference on signal transmission of the connector assembly so as to meet signal transmission requirements for the connector assembly, and with the use of a jumper conductor, at least partial conductive terminals on the connector assembly can be electrically interconnected with no need of any additional jumper, such that an electronic device using such connector assembly can be made compact in size desirably.

An electrical connector includes a housing holding wafer assemblies in a wafer stack each including a wafer body holding a leadframe with signal contacts arranged in pairs and extending between mating ends and mounting ends. Each pair includes a primary signal contact and a secondary signal contact. Each signal contact has a main body extending through the wafer bodies and a mating end extend from the wafer body presented at the mating interface. The mating ends are twisted 45° relative to the main bodies. The mating end of the primary signal contact is arranged at a first side of the main body and the mating end of the secondary signal contact is arranged at a second side of the main body to define a twisted pair interface configured to be mated with the mating signal contacts of the mating electrical connector.

A dense, high-speed interconnection may be formed with a mating header and receptacle connector. The header connector may have groups of mating contact portions extending from the connector housing. Structural projections may extend from the housing adjacent some or all of the groups of mating contact portions. The groups of mating contact portions may be signal and ground mating contact portions associated with a signal pair. The groups may be arranged in an array and the structural projections may be arranged in an array intercalated with the array of the groups of mating contact portions. A receptacle connector may include an array of apertures configured to receive the structural projections. The structural projections may be shaped and positioned to reduce damage to the mating contact portions of the header connector, enable reliable manufacture, and to provide a high-density mating interface.

A connector assembly is provided. The connector assembly allows a conductive terminal to provide shielding to reduce any effect of external interference on signal transmission of the connector assembly so as to meet signal transmission requirements for the connector assembly, and with the use of a jumper conductor, at least partial conductive terminals on the connector assembly can be electrically interconnected with no need of any additional jumper, such that an electronic device using such connector assembly can be made compact in size desirably.
