Appl. No.:

08/834080

Inventors:

Michael OSullivan - Willowbrook IL
Paul Murphy - Naperville IL

Assignee:

Molex Incorporated - Lisle IL

International Classification:

H01R 905

US Classification:

439579, 439497, 439874

Abstract:

A terminal system having a terminal ground plate portion with a hump projecting therefrom is adapted to terminate an inner metallic shield of a high speed cable, the cable having an outer jacket and the inner metallic shield with a portion of the outer jacket removed to expose a portion of the metallic shield. The hump has a slot for receiving the cable at a location along the cable in registry with the exposed metallic shield thereof. With the metallic shield maintained in the slot, a solder connection is established between the metallic shield and the ground plate portion at the hump.

Paul Murphy - Naperville IL

Assignee:

Molex Incorporated - Lisle IL

International Classification:

H01R 903

US Classification:

439610

Abstract:

A terminal is disclosed for terminating the shields of a plurality of high speed cables each having an outer jacket and an inner metallic shield with a portion of the outer jacket removed to expose a portion of the metallic shield. The terminal includes a conductive ground plate portion. A gripping arm projects from the ground plate portion for embracing all of the plurality of high speed cables in direct engagement with the exposed portions of the metallic shields thereat. A solder connection is disposed between the gripping arm and the metallic shields.

Paul Murphy - Naperville IL

Assignee:

Molex Incorporated - Lisle IL

International Classification:

H01R 466

US Classification:

439 98

Abstract:

A method is disclosed for terminating the metallic shield of a high speed cable which includes an inner dielectric inside the metallic shield, as well as a system for effecting the method. At least a portion of the outer jacket of the cable is removed to expose a portion of the metallic shield. An insulating member is positioned between the metallic shield and the inner dielectric of the cable. The cable then is positioned on a conductive terminating member having a portion in registry with the exposed portion of the metallic shield outside the insulating member. The metallic shield is soldered to the portion of the terminating member, as the insulating member protects the inner dielectric from the heat of the soldering step.

Paul Murphy - Naperville IL

Assignee:

Molex Incorporated - Lisle IL

International Classification:

H01R 13648

US Classification:

439610

Abstract:

A system is disclosed for terminating the metallic shields of a pair of high speed cables each having a portion of the outer jacket removed to expose a portion of the metallic shield thereof. A rigid sleeve is positioned between the metallic shield and the dielectric of each of the cables. An elongated, generally planar ground plate has a pair of crimp arms projecting inwardly from opposite edges of the plate near one end thereof for crimping onto the exposed portions of the metallic shields of the pair of cables. The crimp arms clamp the shields between the arms and the rigid sleeves and position the pair of cables on the ground plate between the arms.

International Classification:

H01R 466

US Classification:

439 98

Abstract:

A grounding bridge for terminating the ground portions of an interconnect cable includes a conductive metal member having two leg portions extending at angles to each other. One leg portion is folded upon itself to define a partial enclosure which receives an internal coaxial cable of the interconnect cable therein along with a jumper wire while the other leg portion is offset from the one leg portion to lie flat against the metal shielding of the interconnect cable.

Abstract:

A method is disclosed for terminating the metallic shield of a high speed cable, and including a terminating member used with the method. At least a portion of the outer jacket of the high speed cable is removed to expose a portion of the metallic shield of the cable. The cable is positioned on a conductive terminating member having an opening in registry with the exposed portion of the metallic shield. The shield is soldered to the terminating member through the opening.

Assignee:

Molex Incorporated - Lisle IL

International Classification:

H01R 13648

US Classification:

439607

Abstract:

A one-piece shield is stamped and formed of metal material for substantially surrounding and shielding a dielectric housing of an electrical connector assembly. The housing is generally rectangular and includes a top, bottom, front, rear and opposite sides. The shield includes a top wall for substantially covering the top of the housing, opposite side walls for substantially covering the opposite sides of the housing, a front wall for substantially covering the front of the housing about a receptacle opening in the housing, and a rear wall for substantially covering the rear of the housing. Detent members are provided on at least one side wall and the rear wall to secure the rear wall in a closed position.
