US Patent:

6767252, Jul 27, 2004

Filed:

Oct 9, 2002

Appl. No.:

10/267443

Inventors:

James L. McGrath - Bloomingdale IL
James P. Capadona - Chicago IL
Daniel B. McGowan - Naperville IL
Augusto P. Panella - Naperville IL

Assignee:

Molex Incorporated - Lisle IL

International Classification:

H01R 2370

US Classification:

439637, 439608, 439108

Abstract:

A differential signal connector that is used for edge card application has a plurality of differential signal terminals and associated ground terminals arranged in âtripletsâ, i. e. , distinct sets of three conductive terminals, each such triplet including a pair of differential signal terminals and one associated ground terminal. The ground terminal is flanked by the two differential signal terminals and each triplet is spaced apart from an adjacent triplet by a spacing which is greater than any single spacing between adjacent terminals within a triplet. Circuit boards to which such a connector is mounted are also disclosed and they have a particular pattern of termination traces, commonly taking the form of plated vias extending through the circuit board. These vias are arranged in a triangular pattern and the ground reference plane of the circuit board is provided with voids, one void being associated and encompassing a pair of the differential signal vias of a single terminal triplet. This reduces the capacitance of the signal vias and thereby increases the impedance of the circuit board within the launch area to lessen impedance discontinuities in the connector-circuit board interface.

International Classification:

H01R 4/58

US Classification:

439 79

Abstract:

A laminated terminal is provided for an electrical connector and includes a plurality of flat metal layers juxtaposed to form a laminated structure. Each metal layer includes a joining section, a contact section and a terminating section. A plurality of projections on the joining sections of the layers are interengaged within a respective plurality of recesses in adjacent layers to align the layers and provide a strong mechanical and good electrical joint between the layers. Solder tails extend linearly along the bottom edge of each joining section to form a plurality of rows of solder tails, and the terminating portions of the metal layers are bent outwardly to separate the rows of solder tails from each other. The contact section of one metal layer may include a generally planar finger which is coplanar with a planar finger of another of the metal layers.

F21V 15/01

US Classification:

362308, 362375, 362373, 36229601

Abstract:

An illumination system may include a receiver which is mounted on a support surface, such as a heat sink, and a light module that may include a cover and an LED assembly. The LED assembly is rotateably attached to the cover and seats within the receiver. The receiver may have touch-safe terminals attached thereto for providing power to the LED assembly. The LED assembly may include a cup which enables potting material to be easily included in the assembly during manufacturing. When the LED assembly is attached to the receiver, blades on the LED assembly mate with the terminals on the receiver.

Abstract:

An electrical connector assembly can include a plug connector and a receptacle connector that can mate together. Conductive communication between the plug and receptacle connectors is established by mating signals terminals and mating ground terminals contained in terminal subassemblies accommodated in each connector. To align and support the signal and ground terminals, the terminals may be part of a terminal wafer and the terminal subassembly can be assembled from one or more wafers. The terminal wafer may include grounding features to improve the electrical characteristics and data transmission through the electrical connector assembly.
