US Patent:

7909622, Mar 22, 2011

Filed:

Jul 23, 2009

Appl. No.:

12/508247

Inventors:

Paul John Pepe - Clemmons NC, US
Steven Richard Bopp - Jamestown NC, US
Neil Ktul Nay - Greensboro NC, US

Assignee:

Tyco Electronics Corporation - Berwyn PA

International Classification:

H01R 12/00

US Classification:

439 95, 43960702, 43960723, 43960753

Abstract:

A cassette includes a shell having a plurality of shielded channels extending between a front and a rear of the shell. Communication modules are loaded into the shielded channels. The communication modules have front mating interfaces configured for mating with corresponding first plugs and rear mating interfaces configured for mating with corresponding second plugs. The communication modules are loaded into the corresponding shielded channels such that the communication modules are individually shielded from one another. Optionally, the shell may have interior walls defining the shielded channels that extend between the front and the rear.

Assignee:

Tyco Electronics Corporation - Berwyn PA

International Classification:

H01R 24/00

US Classification:

439676

Abstract:

An electrical connector that includes a circuit board having a board substrate that has opposite board surfaces and a thickness measured along an orientation axis that extends between the opposite board surfaces. The circuit board has associated pairs of input and output terminals and signal traces that electrically connect the associated pairs of input and output terminals. The input and output terminals being configured to communicatively coupled to mating and cable conductors, respectively. Each associated pair of input and output terminals is electrically connected through a corresponding signal trace that has a conductive path extending along the board substrate between the corresponding input and output terminals. At least two signal traces form a broadside-coupling region in which the conductive paths of the at least two signal traces are stacked along the orientation axis and spaced apart through the thickness and extend parallel to each other for a crosstalk-reducing distance.

International Classification:

H01R 13/66

US Classification:

43962017

Abstract:

An electrical connector includes a housing and a plurality of electrical mating contacts held within the housing. Each of the mating contacts extends from a first end portion to a second end portion. Each of the mating contacts has an intermediate portion extending between the first and second end portions. An electrical compensation component is held within the housing. The electrical compensation component includes a circuit board. The electrical compensation component is electrically connected to at least one of the mating contacts at a location along the intermediate portion that is spaced a distance from the first and second end portions.
