Example implementations relate to an electronic plug having a locking assembly for securing within an electronic port having a receptacle. The locking assembly includes a cantilever beam, a deformable arm, and an axle rotatably coupled to a connector of the electronic plug. The cantilever beam extends from the axle, where a free end of the cantilever beam includes a locking tab aligned to a recess of the connector. The deformable arm extends from the axle, where an open end of the deformable arm is rested on the connector. In a biased state of the deformable arm, the locking tab is positioned below the recess to allow movement of the connector in and out of the receptacle. In a relaxed state of the deformable arm, the locking tab protrudes above the recess to allow movement of the connector into the receptacle and prevent movement of the connector out of the receptacle.

An electrical connector and electrical connector assembly. The electrical connector comprises a connector and a securing member. The connector comprises a body and a connecting terminal port. The connecting terminal port is disposed at one side of the body. The securing member comprises a securing part and a clamping part. The securing part is assembled on the body and is disposed at one side of the connecting terminal port. The clamping direction of the clamping part is identical to the opening direction of the connecting terminal port. The circuit board is connected to the connecting terminal port, and the clamping part of the securing member is used to clamp and secure the circuit board. The securing member can be assembled according to the shape and structural configuration of the body of the connector through a component of the securing member corresponding to one side of the body of the connector.

A terminal module includes a number of conductive terminals. The conductive terminals include a first signal terminal and a second signal terminal. A contact portion of the first signal terminal includes a first contact arm, a second contact arm and a first clamping space. The first contact arm includes a first contact end portion and a first contact arm body portion connected with the first contact end portion. The first contact arm body portion includes a first end connected to the first contact end portion and a second end opposite to the first end. From the first end to the second end, a width of the first contact arm body portion gradually increases. As a result, it is beneficial to improve the contact impedance when it is mated with a mating backplane connector. The present disclosure also discloses a backplane connector having the terminal module.

A terminal module includes a number of conductive terminals.

The present disclosure also discloses a backplane connector having the terminal module.

An electrical device heat dissipation structure includes an air blowing device, a casing, and a mating connector. The casing is disposed with at least one air outlet, an electrical connector and a power supply. The power supply provides power to the air blowing device. The mating connector has a chip. The mating connector is electrically connected with the electrical connector. The air blowing device is configured to blow air to the mating connector through the at least one air outlet, so as to improve dissipation of heat generated by the chip at work, and to reduce a temperature of the mating connector.

A heat sink assembly includes a casing having an opening, a main board accommodated in the casing, a heat sink mounted on the main board, an electrical connector mounted on the main board and exposed in the opening, a mating connector located outside the casing and connected to the electrical connector through the opening in a plugging manner, and a heat conductor, disposed inside the casing. The mating connector has a chip that is electrically connected to the electrical connector. One end of the heat conductor is connected to the heat sink, and the other end of the heat conductor is thermally connected to the electrical connector or the mating connector, so that heat generated by the chip during working can be transferred to the heat sink through the heat conductor, thereby reducing a temperature of the mating connector.

A backplane connector includes a housing and a number of terminal modules assembled to the housing. The housing includes a base, a first side wall and a second side wall. The base, the first side wall and the second side wall jointly form a receiving space. The terminal module includes a first signal terminal and a second signal terminal. The housing includes a number of insulating protrusions integrally extending from the base. The insulating protrusions extend into the receiving space. The terminal modules are assembled in the insulating protrusions. Compared with the prior art, the insulating protrusions of the present disclosure is integrally formed with the base, thereby improving the structural strength of the housing and improving the durability of the backplane connector.

An electrical connector module with openings in an insulative support selectively positioned to limit dielectric loss in a signal. The connector may include a first and second conductor including first and second sides between first and second edges. An insulative support holds the first conductor adjacent the second conductor and may have at least five pedestal portions, wherein the first pedestal portion contacts the first side of the first conductor, the second pedestal portion contacts the second side of the first conductor, the third pedestal portion contacts the first side of the second conductor, the fourth pedestal portion contacts the second side of the second conductor, and at least a portion of the fifth pedestal portion is disposed between two edges of the first and second conductors. The pedestal portions may have widths less than the widths of the first and second sides of the first and second conductors.

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 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 configured to provide signal and power connections reliably and economically in a compact space. The connector may include terminals each comprising a mating portion and a mounting portion opposite the mating portion. The terminals may be arranged with multiple rows of signal terminals and power terminals aligned in one row and on opposite sides of the signal rows.
