20140120782 | POWER CONNECTOR ASSEMBLY - A power connector in accordance with the present invention includes an insulative housing including a main body and at least two mating ports, a number of power contacts received in the insulative housing. At least one mating port includes an anti-mismating portion protruding outwardly from an outer surface thereof and extending along a mating direction of the power connector. | 05-01-2014 |
20140127945 | ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR WITH IMPROVED RETENTION STRUCTURE - An electrical connector mountable on a printed circuit board includes an insulative housing and pairs of power contacts. Each power contact has a contacting portion, a tail portion and an intermediate portion interconnecting the contacting portion and the tail portion. The intermediate portion is provided with a retention element in a rear edge thereof extending towards an inside wall of a passageway defined through the insulative housing. Each inside wall of the passageway forms a bump thereon extending along an insertion direction of a complementary connector. The retention element rides on the bump to thereby prevent an involuntarily anti-clockwise movement of the insulative housing with respect to the printed circuit board. | 05-08-2014 |
20140220809 | ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR WITH DUAL LATCH MEMBERS - An electrical connector includes an insulative housing, a number of contacts retained in the insulative housing and a pair of latch members located at lateral sides of the insulative housing. The insulative housing includes a mating portion, a mounting portion and a number of passageways extending therethrough to receive the contacts. Each latch member includes a pivot portion connected to corresponding lateral side of the insulative housing, a locking arm extending forwardly from the pivot portion and a driving portion extending backwardly from the pivot portion. The locking arms are capable of pivoting outwardly along a horizontal direction to a release status under condition that the driving portions are inwardly pressed. With the dual latch members, the electrical connector can be much reliable in locking with a mateable connector. | 08-07-2014 |
20140370759 | ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR WITH IMPROVED CONTACT STRUCTURES - An electrical connector includes an insulative housing and at least one first contact received in the insulative housing. The insulative housing includes a main body and a first mating port extending from the main body. The at least one first contact includes a first mating portion partially exposed into the first mating port, a first intermediate portion extending rearward from the first mating portion and received in the main body, and a first termination portion bending downward from the first intermediate portion and exposed beyond the insulative housing. The first intermediate portion includes a first lower horizontal section, a first upper horizontal section parallel to the first lower horizontal section, and a first connecting portion connecting the first lower horizontal section and the first upper horizontal section. The first lower horizontal section is formed with a first lower widened section, and the first upper horizontal section is formed with a first upper widened section. | 12-18-2014 |
20140378002 | ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR WITH UNIVERSAL STRUCTURE FOR DIFFERENT CONTACTS - An electrical connector includes an insulative housing, and a number of conductive contacts. The conductive contacts include a first contact and a second contact. The first contact includes a first retaining portion, a first contacting portion extending from the first retaining portion, and a first termination portion extending from the first retaining portion. The second contact includes two second retaining portions, two second contacting portions extending from respective second retaining portions, and a second termination portion extending from the second retaining portions. The structure of the first contacting portion of the first contact is identical to that of one of the two second contacting portions of the second contact, and the structure of the first retaining potion of the first contact is identical to that of one of the two second retaining portions of the second contact. | 12-25-2014 |
20140378003 | ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR WITH FASTENING ELEMENTS - An electrical connector includes an insulative housing, at least one conductive contact, a limiting element and a fastening element. The insulative housing defines an upper first receiving passage and a lower second receiving passage spaced from the first receiving passage along an up-to-down direction by a horizontal first partition wall, and a first restriction section and a second restriction section. The at least one conductive contact is received in the first and second receiving passages, and partially received in the first restriction section and the second restriction section. The limiting element is received in the second restriction section. The fastening element is received in the second receiving passage and located below the limiting element to cooperate with the limiting element to fasten the at least one conductive contact with the insulative housing. The fastening element defines at least one contact-restriction section in at least on sidewall thereof. | 12-25-2014 |
20150031249 | POWER CONNECTOR AND POWER CONTACT THEREOF WITH IMPROVED SUPPORT MEMBER FOR SUPPORTING ENGAGING ARM - A power contact includes a fixing portion, an engaging arm extending backwardly from a front end of the fixing portion along a first direction and a support member extending towards the engaging arm. The support member is positioned between the engaging arm and the fixing portion along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. The support member is adapted for abutting against the engaging arm so as to increase insertion/withdraw force and avoid over deformation of the engaging arm. | 01-29-2015 |
20150162683 | ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR WITH ROBUST HEAT-DISSIPATION STRUCTURES - An electrical connector includes an insulative housing and two rows of power contacts received in the insulative housing. The insulative housing includes a main body and a mating port extending from the main body. Each power contact includes a mating portion protruding into the mating port, a Z-shaped intermediate portion extending rearwardly from the mating portion and a termination portion. The insulative housing includes a first heat dissipation path extending along a first direction, a second heat dissipation path extending along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, and a third heat dissipation path extending along a third direction perpendicular to the first direction and the second direction. The first heat dissipation path, the second heat dissipation path and the third heat dissipation path are surrounding the power contacts for heat dissipation. | 06-11-2015 |
