H01R 12/73
H01R 13/518

Abstract:

A backplane connector includes a shielded design that has wafers with signal terminals supported as edge-coupled terminal pairs for differential signaling. A ground shield is mounted on each wafer and provides a U-channel that partially shields each terminal pair. An insert can be provided to help connect the ground shield to a U-shield to provide U-shaped shielding structure substantially the entire way from a tail to a contact.

Abstract:

A backplane connector includes a shielded design that has wafers with signal terminals supported as edge-coupled terminal pairs for differential signaling. A ground shield is mounted on each wafer and provides a U-channel that partially shields each terminal pair. The wafers omit a ground terminal between adjacent terminal pairs. An insert can be provided to help connect the ground shield to a U-shield to provide U-shaped shielding structure substantially the entire way from a tail to a contact.

Assignee:

Molex, LLC - Lisle IL

International Classification:

H01R 13/6587
H01R 13/6591

Abstract:

A connector system includes a wafer that has a shield that replaces standard ground terminals and an additional isolation shield to provide enhanced electrical isolation. To further improve electrical performance, transmit and receive channels can be provided in separate wafers on one side of connector system with a space or wafer between the transmit and signal wafers. On the other side of the connector system the wafer will have one or two spaces that are either black or filled with terminals that operate at lower frequencies. A conductive insert can provide further isolation intra-wafer.

International Classification:

H01R 13/6471
H01R 12/58

Abstract:

A connector system includes a connector mounted on a circuit board. The circuit board has deeper backdrilled vias and the connector has modified signal terminal that can mate with the backdrilled vias so as to provide a surprising increase in the performance of signal traces provided in the top layers of the circuit board.

H01R 12/71
H01R 13/652
H01R 13/6587

Abstract:

A connector system is disclosed that can include 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 signal terminals arranged in an edge-coupled manner. Ground terminals in the one or more wafers are positioned on two sides of a pair of signal terminals and are configured to engage the mating edge of the channel terminal. Each wafer can include a shield mounted on a side of the wafer. The shield can include arms that electrically engage ground terminals.

International Classification:

H01R 13/6471
H01R 12/73
H01R 13/6587
H01R 13/41
H01R 13/514

Abstract:

A connector is configured to provide a mating side that includes a 90 degree rotation about two different axis when compared to a mounting. The connector, when mounted on a first circuit board is thus suitable for directly mating to a right-angle connector that is mounted on a second circuit board, the second circuit board at a being at a 90 angle to the first circuit board. The connector can include a shroud that supports a u-shield that partially shields contacts positioned in the mating side.
