A Peripheral Component Interconnect Express/Serial Attached SCSI (PSAS) female connector includes a frame member, a terminal member, and a cover member; the frame member including a terminal groove disposed in the frame member and a tilt portion disposed in the terminal groove adjacent to a plug end; the terminal member inserted in the frame member and including a Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (SATA) 7 pin terminal, a Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) 40 pin terminal, a 15 Pin signal terminal, a 6 Pin terminal, and a 4 Pin terminal. When the PSAS female connector is engaged with the male connector, the SATA 7 Pin terminal and the SAS 40 Pin terminal are pressed by a terminal of the male connector to be bent toward an outer lateral side of the terminal groove to contact the elastic plate of the cover member. The present invention effectively improves the cross interference during high speed transmission, thereby achieving the Generation 5 performance requirement.

A cable connector assembly includes: an electrical connector; and a cable electrically connected with the electrical connector, the cable including plural high-speed wires for transmitting high-speed signal, a pair of low-speed wires for transmitting low-speed signal, a pair of power wires for transmitting power signal, a pair of standby wires, a detection wire for transmitting detection signal, and a power supply wire; wherein the pair of standby wires, the detection wire, and the power supply wire are arranged in a line along a horizontal direction; the high-speed wires are evenly distributed on both sides of the line along a thickness direction vertical to the horizontal direction; the low-speed wires are disposed on a side of the line along the thickness direction; and the power wires are disposed on another side of the line along the thickness direction.

In a connector, a contact includes: a first connection portion and a second connection portion that are retained between a first insulator and a second insulator and face each other; and a pressing force receiving portion that makes contact with the second insulator and receives a pressing force from the second insulator to thereby press the first connection portion against the second connection portion. A connection object is sandwiched between the first connection portion and the second connection portion, and at least one of the first connection portion and the second connection portion makes contact with a flexible conductor of the connection object, whereby the contact is electrically connected to the flexible conductor of the connection object.

A connector that is attachable to an end of a flat cable and is connectable to a counterpart connector includes a housing having a plate-shaped portion and a terminal accommodating portion, and a socket terminal housed in the terminal accommodating portion. The socket terminal has a box portion in which a pin terminal of the counterpart connector is to be inserted, and a spring portion having a cantilever shape, the spring portion extending from the box portion and protruding onto the plate-shaped portion. The end of the flat cable is to be interposed between the plate-shaped portion and the spring portion of the socket terminal. The terminal accommodating portion receives part of force that the spring portion receives from the flat cable.

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.

Electrical connector housings and electrical connector assemblies for electrically conductive structures are described. An example electrical connector housing has a base and a cover. The base has a first end, a second end, a passageway, a recess, and a cover recess. The passageway extends from the first end of the base toward the second end of the base. The recess extends from the passageway to the second end of the base. The cover recess is disposed between the passageway and the second end of the base. The cover is moveable between an open position and a closed position relative to the base. The cover has a projection disposed within the cover recess when the cover is in the closed position.

Electrical term finals and electrical connector assemblies for electrically conductive structures are described. An example electrical terminal has a terminal head and an electrical contact. The electrical contact extends from the terminal head and has a lengthwise axis and a spring finger contact. The spring finger contact is movable relative to the terminal head and has a cantilever portion and a contact portion. The cantilever portion extends away from the terminal head and away from the lengthwise axis of the electrical contact. The contact portion extends from the cantilever portion.
