A connector for use with high-speed signals. The connector may include a row of conductive elements comprising signal conductors and ground conductors. A signal conductor may include a mating end, a mounting end opposite the mating end, and an intermediate portion extending therebetween. A ground conductor may include a shell at least partially encircling intermediate portions of a group of signal conductors, with openings that expose contact surfaces of the signal conductors at the ends. The ground conductors may include contact members aligned with the mating contact surfaces of the signal conductors. Each shell may be coupled to a ground mounting location on each side of a respective group of signal conductors, with adjacent shells sharing a ground mounting location. Such a configuration may meet signal integrity requirements in connectors designed for 64 Gbps and beyond, while conforming to a standard that constrains mating and mounting interfaces.

A high-speed connector includes an insulating housing, and a first terminal assembly mounted in the insulating housing. The first terminal assembly includes a plurality of first terminals including a plurality of first grounding terminals, a first base body, and a first shielding plate disposed under the first base body. The plurality of the first terminals are fastened to the first base body. The first shielding plate has a first base plate, a first metal layer and a plurality of first ribs. Several portions of a top surface of the first base plate extend upward to form the plurality of the first ribs. The first metal layer is a pattern with a plurality of pores. Several of the first grounding terminals contact with the first metal layer which is attached to top surfaces of the plurality of the first ribs to form a grounding structure.

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 floating connector and an assembly thereof are provided. The floating connector includes: a center conductive structure which includes a main body, a contact pin which is movably mounted in a front portion of the main body and a center spring which is mounted between the contact pin and the main body, a rear portion of the main body is provided with a mating cavity, an elastic mating portion is provided in the mating cavity and is capable of elastically deforming in a radial direction which is perpendicular to a front-rear direction; an insulative body which surrounds an outer circumference of the center conductive structure; and an outer conductive structure comprising a first conductive shell which is provided to an outer circumference of the insulative body, a second conductive shell which is movable, and an outer spring which is positioned between the first conductive shell and the second conductive shell, at least one of the first conductive shell and the second conductive shell is provided with an elastic contact arm, and the first conductive shell and the second conductive shell maintain electrical contact via the elastic contact arm. The present disclosure can promote stability of electrical contact.

A connector connection structure includes: a first connector; a second connector electrically connected to the first connector; a unit to which the first connector is ground-connected; and a seal member sealing a gap between the first connector and the unit. The unit has a hole portion that includes a first portion and a second portion having a diameter smaller than a diameter of the first portion. The first connector includes shield shell provided with a contact portion having a contact part that is to abut an inner peripheral surface. A radius of the first portion is larger than a distance from a central axis of an electric wire of the first connector to a contact part in a neutral state. A core wire of the electric wire is electrically connected to a terminal portion of the second connector via a terminal portion of the first connector.

The connector includes: an axial member that is a cylindrical conductor; a central contact disposed inside along a central axis of the axial member; an insulating member interposed between the axial member and the central contact and which holds the central contact; a first flange and a second flange provided on an outer peripheral surface of the axial member; and a metal spring provided along an outer peripheral surface of the axial member. The metal spring includes: a C-shaped metal spring body; curved parts; elastic pieces that extend from the curved parts so as to face an outer peripheral surface of the metal spring body; inner protrusions provided on an inner peripheral surface of the metal spring body so as to protrude inside the metal spring body; and outer protrusions provided on outer peripheral surfaces of the elastic pieces so as to protrude outside the elastic pieces.

A heavy-duty plug-in connector has a ground terminal that can be conveniently assembled and can comprise the greatest possible number of electrical crimp plug-in contacts (4,5). For this purpose, ground plug-in contacts (4′, 5′), likewise of a crimping configuration, are fitted in formations (13, 13′, 23, 23′) of the contact carriers (1, 2) for electrical contacting with metallic protective earthing elements (3, 3′, 3″, 3″). For said contacting, the formations (13, 13′, 23, 23′) have a respective opening (130, 130′) or passage (230, 230′). In the formations (13, 13′, 23, 23′), not only ground plug-in contacts (4′, 5′) but also further plug-in contacts (4, 5) are arranged, so that the number of plug-in contacts (4, 5) of the plug-in connector is increased considerably.
