20090023333 | COMPLIANT COAXIAL CONNECTOR - A connector includes a connector body, a plurality of compression coaxial contacts disposed in the connector body, and a plurality of coaxial cables connected to corresponding ones of the plurality of compression coaxial contacts. The connector body includes a conductive elastomeric ground plane. | 01-22-2009 |
20090085591 | PROBE TIP INCLUDING A FLEXIBLE CIRCUIT BOARD - A probe tip for attaching to a device to be tested includes a flexible circuit board, at least one contact pad arranged to be able to be attached to at least one contact of a probe tip connector, at least one electrical component having first and second ends, and at least one test pad arranged to be able to be attached to the device to be tested. The at least one contact pad is connected to the first end of the at least one electrical component, and the at least one test pad is connected to the second end of the at least one electrical component. Each of the electrical components of the probe tip is connected to at least one contact pad and is connected to at least one test pad. | 04-02-2009 |
20090153169 | PROBE HAVING A FIELD-REPLACEABLE TIP - A probe is provided for testing the electrical characteristics of a device. The probe includes a housing, a plurality of cables, a circuit board located within the housing, and a field-replaceable probe tip. The probe tip includes an array of contacts. Each of the plurality of cables is connected to a corresponding contact. The probe includes a retractable shroud that retracts as the probe is connected to the device. The contacts have bifurcated tips. | 06-18-2009 |
20130122743 | Insulator with Air Dielectric Cavities for Electrical Connector - An insulator for an electrical connector that comprises a back shell, metal shell, EMI band, and the insulator. The insulator features alternating contact cavities and air dielectric cavities. The air dielectric cavities reduce the effective dielectric constant of the connector, which allows high-speed data to be transmitted while maintaining impedance, thereby preserving signal fidelity. | 05-16-2013 |
20130122745 | LOW-PROFILE RIGHT-ANGLE ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR ASSEMBLY - A low-profile, right angle connector assembly comprises six cable connectors and six board-mount connectors housed within a PCIe bracket and EMI shell. The PCIe bracket and EMI shell are braced to a low profile PCIe card. Each board-mount connector is designed to receive a cable connector and allows for the transmission and processing of high-speed data with lower latency. A removable latch mounted on the cable connectors helps ensure the cable connectors remain physically connected to the board-mount connectors. The removable latch may be replaced as needed for breakage and wear and tear. | 05-16-2013 |
20130122746 | LOW-PROFILE RIGHT-ANGLE ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR ASSEMBLY - A low-profile, right angle connector assembly comprises six cable connectors and six board-mount connectors housed within a PCIe bracket and EMI shell. The PCIe bracket and EMI shell are braced to a low profile PCIe card. Each board-mount connector is designed to receive a cable connector and allows for the transmission and processing of high-speed data with lower latency. | 05-16-2013 |
20130122755 | Electrical Connector with Wafer Having Inwardly Biasing Dovetail - An electrical connector comprises a plurality of wafers within a housing. Each wafer comprises a dovetail that corresponds to a dovetail-receiving groove on the interior side wall of the housing. The coupling of the dovetail and the groove work to stabilize the housing by biasing the side wall inwardly and preventing it from bowing out. Each wafer also comprises an epoxy shoulder to create an epoxy track that can be filled with epoxy to create a seal that secures adjacent wafers to each other and also prevents debris and moisture from entering the housing. | 05-16-2013 |
20140134866 | ATTACHABLE AND REMOVABLE PROTECTIVE RUGGED HOOD ASSEMBLY FOR AN ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR AND METHOD OF USE - An attachable and removable protective rugged hood assembly for an electrical connector, including board-mounted electrical connectors. The rugged hood assembly comprises a male connector hood portion and a female connector hood portion. The rugged hood assembly allows standard electrical connectors to be used in harsh conditions, such as in military equipment, and also provides electromagnetic interference (“EMI”) shielding. | 05-15-2014 |
20140134887 | RIGHT ANGLE TRANSITION ADAPTER WITH INTERCHANGEABLE GENDER COMPONENTS AND METHOD OF USE - A right angle transition adapter allows vertical connector components to be used in a right angle connector. The right angle transition adapter comprises a vertical connector housing, a wafer, overmolded lead frames, and a right angle transition housing. The overmolded lead frames can be mounted to a board while the vertical connector housing can connect with mating connectors as if it were a vertical connector. | 05-15-2014 |
20140134888 | FIELD-REPLACEABLE PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD CABLE ASSEMBLY AND METHOD OF USE - A field-replaceable printed circuit board (“PCB”) cable assembly comprises at least one field-replaceable PCB, at least one cable, a connector with a plurality of beams, and top and bottom hood portions. A first end of the at least one field-replaceable PCB is attached to the at least one cable, and a second end of the at least one field-replaceable PCB is attached to the plurality of beams. The at least one field-replaceable PCB can be replaced by disassembling the hood portions, detaching the at least one field-replaceable PCB from the plurality of beams, and attaching at least one new field-replaceable PCB. | 05-15-2014 |
20140308842 | LATCH ASSEMBLY FOR LOW-PROFILE RIGHT-ANGLE ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR - A low-profile, right angle connector assembly comprises six cable connectors and six board-mount connectors housed within a PCIe bracket and EMI shell. The PCIe bracket and EMI shell are braced to a low profile PCIe card. Each board-mount connector is designed to receive a cable connector and allows for the transmission and processing of high-speed data with lower latency. A removable latch mounted on the cable connectors helps ensure the cable connectors remain physically connected to the board-mount connectors. The removable latch may be replaced as needed for breakage and wear and tear. | 10-16-2014 |
