A terminal module includes a number of conductive terminals. Each conductive terminal includes a contact portion. The conductive terminals include differential signal terminals. Each differential signal terminal includes a first extending portion, a torsion portion, and a second extending portion perpendicular to the first extending portion. The differential signal terminals include a first signal terminal and a second signal terminal. Most of the two first extending portions of the differential signal terminals are narrow-side coupled, and small parts are wide-side coupled. The second extending portions of the differential signal terminals are narrow-sided coupled. The present disclosure also discloses a backplane connector having the terminal module. Compared with the prior art, the present disclosure can make the differential signal terminals tightly coupled, thereby stabilizing the insertion loss.

An electrical outlet (10) for power and/or data is disclosed. The outlet 10 has a housing (11) which houses a plurality of moulded sub-components (18, 19) each of which is mounted within the housing (11) to have one or more sockets (8, 9) accessible by corresponding pin(s) of a plug used by a user. Not all of the sub-components (18, 19) are fabricated from the same mould. The sockets of the housed sub-components are covered by a cosmetic plate (17) having an array of openings corresponding to the sockets and sized to permit the pin(s) to pass through the openings and electrically engage the sockets. A method of fabricating such an electrical outlet is also disclosed. Preferably the outlet is authorised for sale and use without the cosmetic plate.

An electrical connector includes a housing and a plurality of electrical conductors held within the housing. The housing includes a mating shroud protruding forward from a front wall of the housing and defining a port that receives a mating circuit card therein. Each of the electrical conductors includes a mating contact disposed within the mating shroud and a mounting contact that projects beyond a bottom end of the housing to electrically connect to a circuit board. The mounting contacts are located within a termination area of the electrical connector.

A card holder for use inside an electronic device is provided. The card holder includes a holder body and a plurality of electrical connectors. The holder body is disposed with a card slot matching a nano SIM card. The card slot is configured to accommodate the nano SIM card or a memory card having a same appearance or shape as the nano SIM card. At least some of the plurality of electrical connectors are first electrical connectors whose positions match the positions of electrical contact points in the nano SIM card. The first electrical connector is configured to electrically connect to the nano SIM card or the memory card accommodated in the card slot. The plurality of electrical connectors are configured to electrically connect to the memory card.

It is aimed to provide a connector having good space efficiency. A connector is provided with a first housing having a first facing surface and a first lock portion, and a second housing having a second facing surface and a second lock portion. The first lock portion and the second lock portion are respectively arranged in a rear part of the first facing surface and a rear part of the second facing surface. The first housing and the second housing include a recess for receiving a protrusion provided in a mating housing as a connection partner in a combined state. The recess is arranged between a front part of the first facing surface and a front part of the second facing surface and forward of a locked part of the first lock portion and the second lock portion.

It is aimed to make only some of a plurality of housings in a connected state separable. A connector is provided with a first housing and a second housing connectable to the first housing. The second housing includes a detachable housing connectable to the first housing and separable from the first housing and an inseparable housing connectable to the first housing. The first housing and the inseparable housing are provided with an unreleasable lock portion and a lock arm for locking the inseparable housing and the first housing in a connected state. The unreleasable lock portion and the lock arm have no part enabling release of locking by the unreleasable lock portion and the lock arm.
