Sean Patrick McCarthy - Palmyra PA, US

Assignee:

Tyco Electronics Corporation - Middletown PA

International Classification:

H01R 13/648

US Classification:

439 98, 439585, 439610

Abstract:

A coaxial cable connector includes a connector housing configured to receive a coaxial cable having inner and outer conductors, and a ground shield including a plurality of walls cooperating to define a shielded chamber. The connector housing is received within the shielded chamber, and the walls are configured to be connected to the outer conductor of the coaxial cable. The coaxial cable connector also includes a center blade contact having a flat planar body, wherein the center blade contact is configured to be connected to the inner conductor of the coaxial cable. The center blade contact is supported by the connector housing between the walls of the ground shield in a stripline geometry. At least one of the walls includes a compensating tab extending inward therefrom, wherein the compensating tab is configured to be positioned proximate at least one of the center blade contact and the inner conductor of the coaxial cable.

International Classification:

H01R 13/6591
H01R 4/02
H01B 11/00
H01R 13/6592

Abstract:

A cable assembly is provided and includes a cable core including a first signal conductor and a second signal conductor separated by at least one insulator. The first signal conductor includes a first exposed segment extending forward of the first insulator to a first conductor end. The second signal conductor includes a second exposed segment extending forward of the second insulator to a second conductor end. The cable has a cable shield surrounding the cable core providing electrical shielding along a length of the cable. The cable assembly includes a contact holder extending between a front and a rear. The contact holder is located forward of the cable. The contact holder has contact channels extending between the front and the rear. The cable assembly includes a first contact received in the corresponding channel of the contact holder. The first contact has a mating end and a terminating end. The terminating end has a first weld edge welded to the first conductor end at a first butt weld. The cable assembly includes a second contact received in the corresponding channel of the contact holder. The second contact has a mating end and a terminating end. The terminating end has a second weld edge welded to the second conductor end at a second butt weld.

International Classification:

H01R 13/6587
H01R 12/73
H01R 13/504

Abstract:

A header connector includes signal contacts, header shields and a header housing holding the signal contacts and the header shields. The signal contacts each have a base, a mating pin and a mounting portion. The header shields have walls defining shield pockets receiving corresponding pairs of the signal contacts to provide electrical shielding for the pairs of signal contacts. Each header shield has a base and a mounting portion. The header housing has a front shell and a rear shell. The front shell is dielectric and the rear shell is conductive and providing electrical shielding for the signal contacts. The front shell holds the signal contacts. The rear shell holds the header shields and is electrically connected to each of the header shields.
