20080248680 | POWER CABLE CONNECTOR - This invention relates to an improved power connector that has a housing comprising a plurality of slots that are each for receiving a receptacle contact. Preferably, the housing has a plurality of quick-disconnect contacts each disposed in one of the housing slots. Further, a cover, may be coupled to the housing, and the housing may comprise a top portion and a bottom portion. A strain relief member, may be disposed between the cover top and bottom portions. A plurality of cables extend through the channels disposed in the strain relief members and are attached to the housing quick disconnects. A latching spring assembly that may comprise two latching springs is coupled to the housing and attaches the power cable connector to a receptacle connector, such as a right-angle or straight board connector. | 10-09-2008 |

20080200051 | Contact Protector - The invention provides a connector that incorporates an insert that may protect the contacts of a card slot. The insert may also double as a structural member so that the opening of the card slot does not deform. The insert may be a device that engages the card slot of an edge card. In one embodiment, the insert may include a wall stop, a grip, and a protective member. The grip may extend from a back side of the wall stop and the protective member may extend from a front side of the wall stop. | 08-21-2008 |
20080248670 | ELECTRICAL POWER CONTACTS AND CONNECTORS COMPRISING SAME - Electrical connectors and contacts for transmitting power are provided. One power contact embodiment includes a first plate that defines a first non-deflecting beam and a first deflectable beam, and a second plate that defines a second non-deflecting beam and a second deflectable beam. The first and second plates are positioned beside one another to form the power contact. | 10-09-2008 |
20090203238 | SHARED HOLE ORTHOGONAL FOOTPRINTS - Disclosed are an electrical connector and a method for providing transmit and receive electrical signal contacts to reduce or minimize total crosstalk. Such methods may be particularly suitable for connectors having larger near-end crosstalk aggressors than far-end crosstalk aggressors. The electrical signal contacts may be subdivided on a substrate, such as a midplane PCB, and through the opposing connectors, such that the transmitting contacts are all on one side of the connector and the receiving contacts are on the other side of the connector, with a buffer between them. The buffer may comprise a plurality of “dummy” or “buffer” contacts, which may be unassigned or devoid of electrical connectivity. This is one step beyond the primary assignment of contacts as single-ended or differential signal contacts. The contacts themselves may also receive a secondary assignment according to their desired transmitting, receiving, or buffering function. | 08-13-2009 |
20100048056 | Electrical Power Contacts and Connectors Comprising Same - Electrical connectors and contacts for transmitting power are provided. One power contact embodiment includes a first plate that defines a first non-deflecting beam and a first deflectable beam, and a second plate that defines a second non-deflecting beam and a second deflectable beam. The first and second plates are positioned beside one another to form the power contact. | 02-25-2010 |
