A connector of a battery pack includes first pads at both sides of one end of the connector, and second pads at both sides of another end of the connector, wherein the first pads are in contact with each of first and second open portions, and the second pads are in contact with each of third and fourth open portions.

A shielded flat cable includes multiple flat conductors arranged in parallel, a lower insulating layer provided on lower surfaces of the multiple conductors, a lower shield layer provided on a lower surface of the lower insulating layer, a lower protective layer provided on a lower surface of the lower shield layer, a lower contact portion that is exposed from the lower protective layer and provided to contact a second contact member of the connector, and that is electrically coupled to the lower shield layer, a terminal in which the multiple conductors are exposed at an end, and a reinforcing plate provided on the lower surface of the lower insulating layer and the lower surfaces of the multiple conductors at the terminal. The multiple conductors extend along the lower insulating layer and the reinforcing plate, and the lower contact portion and the terminal overlap in a side view.

A pass-through connector includes a first socket connector to connect to a first device, where the first socket connector includes a first set of pins to connect to first contacts on the first device, and a second socket connector to connect to a second device, where the second socket connector includes a second set of pins to directly connect to the first set of pins within the pass-through connector, and a third set of pins to connect to a bus external to the pass-through connector. The second set of pins are to connect second contacts on the second device to the first contacts on the first device, and the third set of pins are to connect third contacts on the second device to the bus.

An electrical connector includes a base, a number of first conductive terminals and a number of second conductive terminals. The base includes a mounting surface. Each first conductive terminal includes a first elastic arm. Each second conductive terminal includes a second elastic arm. The first elastic arm and the second elastic arm include a first abutting portion and a second abutting portion, respectively, for abutting against a circuit board. The present disclosure also discloses a connector assembly having the electrical connector. Compared with the prior art, the present disclosure reduces a space occupied by the first elastic arm and the second elastic arm by setting extension directions of the first elastic arm and the second elastic arm to be opposite. As a result, it is beneficial to miniaturization of the electrical connector and the connector assembly.

A ribbon cable connector for attachment to an end of a ribbon cable comprises a plurality of contact element receptacles adapted to receive a plurality of contact elements. A pair of adjacent contact element receptacles is separated from one another.

A cable assembly includes a plurality of wires and a plurality of electrical contacts. The electrical contacts include contact sections and wire connecting sections, and the wire connecting sections of the electrical contacts are respectively connected to the wires. Two adjacent electrical contacts for transmitting signals have a first edge distance and an expanded edge distance. The first edge distance is adjacent to the contact sections, and the expanded edge distance is between the first edge distance and the wire connecting sections. In addition, the first edge distance is smaller than the expanded edge distance to improve signal integrity.

A self-aligning mechanical mount and electrical connection system for an electronic module comprises a mechanical mount assembly configured to be integrated into or attached to a base frame and defining a mount connection position assurance (CPA) feature for self-aligning and securing of the electronic module therein, and an electrical connection assembly configured to be integrated into or attached to the mechanical mount assembly and comprising a modular electrical connector (i) being electrically connected to an electrical backbone wire cable and (ii) defining a connector CPA feature for self-aligning the modular electrical connector with a corresponding electrical connector integrated into or attached to the electronic module when the electronic module is secured in the mechanical mount assembly.
