An integrated circuit (IC) socket comprising a housing with a land side, an opposing die side, and sidewalls around a perimeter of the housing. The housing comprises a first dielectric. A plurality of socket pins extends from the land side of the housing through socket pin holes in the housing over the die side of the housing. A second dielectric is within the interstitial regions between the socket pins and sidewalls of the socket pin holes. A frame structure extends around at least a portion of the perimeter of the housing, and a mesh structure is embedded within the first dielectric. The mesh structure has plurality of mesh filaments extending between the plurality of socket pin holes and coupled to the frame structure.

The invention relates to a cover for protecting a regulator and a rectifier of a motor vehicle alternator, comprising at least two removable sections that are each compatible with at least two possible configurations for the connector of the regulator, and/or at least two removable sections that are each compatible with at least two possible configurations for the terminal of the rectifier, which cover can be used to protect more than one possible configuration of a motor vehicle alternator and reduces manufacturing time and costs.

A female connector and a male connector are disclosed. The female connector includes a ring-shaped outer wall, a first terminal seat, a second terminal seat, and a third terminal seat. The male connector includes a front connecting block. A front end surface of the front connecting block includes a first terminal hole, a second terminal hole, and a third terminal hole. The first terminal hole has a first terminal supporting surface. The second terminal hole has a second terminal supporting surface. The third terminal hole has a third terminal supporting surface.

An electrical connector includes a housing defining a base portion and a tongue portion, two rows of terminals and a shielding shell. The tongue portion defines a thickened step at a root to the base portion, the base portion defines a front and a rear side, and an upper and a lower retaining slots. The shell is retained on the base portion and surrounding the tongue portion so as to define a mating cavity between the shell and the tongue portion. The shell defines an upper and a lower-front stopping portions inwardly received in corresponding retaining slots to prevent a forward movement of the housing. The upper and lower front stopping portions extend forwardly into the mating cavity across the front side of the base portion so as to prevent a mating connector from damaging the housing during the mating connector is inserted into the mating cavity.

A wiring member includes a wire-like transmission member, a holding member, and a connector. The holding member is configured to hold the wire-like transmission member two-dimensionally in a positioned state. The connector is attached to an end portion of the wire-like transmission member. The connector is provided with an orientation recognition mark.

To help maintain and improve signal integrity, a connector housing can include one or more of the following: asymmetric keying features, asymmetric alignment features, and alternating stitched contacts. First and second contact rows and third and fourth contact rows can each have a first row pitch, and the second and the third contact rows can have a second, greater row pitch. First and second keying structures can be positioned non-symmetrically about both longitudinal and median centerlines of the connector housing. If first, second, third, and fourth contacts all lie on a common centerline of the connector housing, the first and the third contacts can be inserted in a first direction, and the second and the fourth contacts can be inserted in a second, opposite direction. First and second contact securing structures can engage the connector housing at different heights of the connector housing.
