20090291592 | CONNECTOR WITH INSERT FOR REDUCED CROSSTALK - A differential pair connector has a housing floor, an array of differential pairs passing through the housing floor, and a conductive grid integrated into the housing floor for reducing crosstalk between the differential pairs. The conductive grid can have various structures, such as conductive inserts, plated regions and/or a conductive housing floor surrounding non-conductive inserts protecting the differential pins. Although any suitable means can be used to fasten the conductive grid into the housing floor, the grid is preferably press fitted into the top of the housing floor. | 11-26-2009 |
20100055933 | HIGH-DENSITY, ROBUST CONNECTOR - A high speed connector includes a plurality of wafer-style components, the wafers including two columns of conductive terminals that are supported in an insulative support body by a plurality of channels. Ribs may be provided to help secure one of the terminals in one of the plurality of channels. The two columns of terminals are configured to form broadside coupled terminal pairs and an air channel is at least partially disposed in the wafer between two adjacent broadside coupled terminal pairs. | 03-04-2010 |

20120264334 | RIGHT ANGLE ADAPTOR - An adaptor includes a first and second recess that face in opposing directions and that are configured to receive a first and second connector. A floor in the adaptor can separate the first recess from the second recess. A pin array can be positioned in the floor and the pin array can extend in two directions from the floor so as to extend into the first and second recess. The pin array can include terminals that are configured with first and second contact ends that are respectively positioned in the first and second recess. The first and second contact ends can be respectively configured with a first and second orientation that are at a right angle with respect to each other. | 10-18-2012 |
20140099829 | RIGHT ANGLE ADAPTOR - A connector system includes a first housing, a second housing and a third housing. The first and second housings each include a wafer with signal terminals aligned in corresponding rows. The third housing mates to the first and second housings and supports a terminal array that connects the signal terminals in the first housings to the signal terminals in the second housing when the first and second wafer are arranged perpendicular to each other. | 04-10-2014 |
20140370723 | CONNECTOR AND CONNECTOR SUSTEM - A connector system is disclosed that includes a first and second connector. The first connector supports a channel terminal that is U-shaped and includes a mating edge. The second connector includes one or more wafers that support terminals arranged in an edge-coupled manner. Ground terminals in the one or more wafers are configured to engage the mating edge of the channel terminal. Each wafer can include a shield mounted on a side of the wafer. If desired, the ground terminal, the channel terminal and the shield can be electrically connected in the mating interface. | 12-18-2014 |
20160104990 | RIGHT ANGLE ADAPTOR - A connector system includes a first housing, a second housing and a third housing. The first and second housings each include a wafer with signal terminals aligned in corresponding rows. The third housing mates to the first and second housings and supports a terminal array that connects the signal terminals in the first housings to the signal terminals in the second housing when the first and second wafer are arranged perpendicular to each other. | 04-14-2016 |
