A magnetic connector includes a first insulating housing, a printed circuit board, a plurality of magnetic bodies, a plurality of terminals and a second insulating housing. The first insulating housing has a bottom wall, a side wall, a recess being defined between the bottom wall and the side wall. The printed circuit board is received in the recess. The magnetic bodies are mounted to the printed circuit board. The terminals are mounted to the printed circuit board. The second insulating housing is mounted to the top of the first insulating housing and is covered the recess. The magnetic bodies and the terminals are exposed from a top surface of the second insulating housing. As described above, the magnetic bodies are mounted to the printed circuit board, and then the magnetic bodies are magnetized. Hence, manufacture cost of the magnetic connector is saved.

An electrical connector comprises an interface element attachable to a circuit board and a plurality of peripheral connectors. The interface element has an inner contact electrically contacting the circuit board and a connecting interface. The peripheral connectors are each individually matable with the connecting interface. The peripheral connectors include a peripheral plug connector having a plurality of plug connector pins and a peripheral lead connector having a plurality of wires.

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.

An I/O connector assembly configured for making a cabled connection to an interior portion of a printed circuit board for at least some signals passing through the I/O connector. The I/O connector assembly may be assembled by mounting a cage to a printed circuit board. A receptacle connector, including cables extending from a rear of the connector, may be inserted through an opening in the top or rear of the cage. The receptacle connector may be positioned in the cage by at least one retention member on the cage. A plug, mating to the receptacle connector, also may be positioned by a retention member on the cage. Positioning both the plug and receptacle relative to the cage reduces the tolerance stackup of the assembly and enables the connectors to be designed with shorter wipe length, which enables higher frequency operation.

Provided is a connector-mounted board manufacturing method for manufacturing a connector-mounted board, the connector-mounted board including a circuit board, on which a terminal and an electronic component are mounted, and a connector housing attached to the terminal. The connector-mounted board manufacturing method includes: executing a mounting process of mounting the terminal and the electronic component on the circuit board; and executing an attaching process of attaching the connector housing to the terminal after the mounting process has been executed.

The disclosure relates to electronics of an electric motor of a motor vehicle, having a connection unit that is placed in electrical contact with a circuit board and attached thereto. The connection unit has a number of leadframes that are stabilized with respect to one another. The connection unit at least partly forms a connector socket for a mating connector, and the connection unit at least partly forms a contact point for an electromagnet of the electric motor.

A connector arrangement includes a plug nose body; a printed circuit board positioned within a cavity of the plug nose body; and a plug cover that mounts to the plug nose body to enclose the printed circuit board within the cavity. The printed circuit board includes a storage device configured to store information pertaining to the electrical segment of communications media. The plug cover defines a plurality of slotted openings through which the second contacts are exposed. A connector assembly includes a jack module and a media reading interface configured to receive the plug. A patch panel includes multiple jack modules and multiple media reading interfaces.

An optoelectronic component includes an optical module and a host circuit board. The optical module includes a module circuit board and a gold finger that is located on a first surface of the module circuit board. The host circuit board includes a conductive elastomer corresponding to the gold finger and that is located on a first surface of the host circuit board. The module circuit board is located on the host circuit board, the first surface of the module circuit board and the first surface of the host circuit board face each other, and the gold finger is in contact with the conductive elastomer.

A subassembly for efficiently and reliably assembling a high performance electronic device. The electronic device may include numerous cabled interconnects in a subassembly that is subsequently mechanically and electrically connected to a PCB populated with high performance electronic components. First ends of cables in the cabled interconnects may be terminated by a first type of connector configured for connection to the PCB via a downward force. The second ends of the cables may be terminated with a second type of connectors that may make connections to other portions of an electronic system incorporating the electronic device. The connectors at the first ends of the cables may be releasably held within an organizer. The connectors may be simply mounted to the PCB by positioning the organizer with respect to the PCB, releasing the connectors from the organizer, and pushing the connectors into engagement with mounting locations on the PCB.

An edge launch radio frequency (RF) signal connector includes ground contact tabs that have radially extending arms. The arms cover a gap between a substrate, such as a circuit board, and the connector to reduce the RF ground path between the RF reference ground and a signal pin supported by the connector. The arms extend radially inwardly from the protruding ground contact tabs toward a central support aperture that supports the signal pin. The arms and the ground contact tabs are formed integrally with the main connector body as one piece. The arms and the ground contact tabs may be planar in shape such that the arms and the ground contact tabs lie flush on the substrate when the connector is arranged over the edge of the substrate.
