An electrical connector includes an insulative housing having a mating cavity, a tongue portion extending into the mating cavity and defining thereon first and second faces opposite to each other, and a plurality of contacts retained to the housing. The plurality of contacts defines a first and second set of contacts and expanded contacts. The first set of contacts each defines a first blade contacting section exposed onto the first face, the second set of contacts each defines a deflectable cantilevered beam exposed onto the second face, and the expanded contacts include at least one power contact for power transmission. The at least one power contact defines a second contacting section arranged between two adjacent cantilevered beams and projecting out of the second face.

Electrical connector featured USB/eSATA interfaces incorporated with additional power contact

An electrical connector includes a housing and a set of first terminals for eSATA and a set of second terminals for USB. The housing defines a mating cavity with a front opening and a mating tongue in the mating cavity, the mating tongue defines a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface. Each of the first terminals includes a first contacting section disposed on the first mating face, a second contacting section bending from the first contacting section to be in the second mating face and a leg portion. Each of the second contacts includes a contacting section disposed on the second mating face and a leg portion.

Electrical connector featured USB/eSATA interfaces

An electrical connector includes an insulative housing defining a mating cavity, two parallel and stacked mating portions respectively forwards extending into the mating cavity, sets of contact retained in the housing and a grounding member retained in the housing. The first mating portion defines thereon a first surface; the second mating portion spaces from the first mating portion and defines thereon a second surface opposite to the first surface. The sets of contact include a first set of contacts each defining a contacting section exposed upon the first surface and a second set of contacts each defining a deflectable cantilevered beam accessible from the second face. The grounding member is disposed between the first and second mating portions to reduce the cross-talk between the first and second sets of contacts.

An electrical connector includes an insulating housing and contacts, the insulating housing defines a mating cavity and a tongue portion in the cavity, the tongue portion defines a first and a second mating face. A set of first contacts each defines a first contacting section disposed on the first mating face and a leg portion. A set of second contacts each defines a first contacting section disposed on the first mating face and a second contacting section bending from the first contacting section to be in the second mating face, a leg portion and a retention section connecting with the first contacting section and a the leg portion. A set of third contacts each defines a contacting section disposed on the second mating face and a leg section. The contacting portions of the third contacts are disposed at two sides of the second contacting sections of the second contact.

An electrical connector includes an insulative housing defining a mating cavity, a tongue portion forwards extending into the mating cavity and defining thereon first and second faces opposite to each other, and first and second sets of contacts retained to the housing. The first set of contacts includes pairs of differential pairs and grounding contacts arranged at opposite sides of the differential pairs, and each of the differential pairs defines a first contacting section disposed in the first face and a soldering section. The second set of contacts each defines a deflectable cantilevered beam accessible from the second face. At least one of the grounding contacts defines a main section retained in the tongue portion and further extending into the mating cavity along the tongue portion, and the main section is disposed in a plane perpendicular to the first face.

Electrical connector featured with USB/eSATA interfaces

An electrical connector assembly includes an insulating housing, a plurality of first contacts received in the insulating housing, at least one detecting pin and a controlling circuitry. At least partial first contacts unitarily includes first contacting portions transferring first data signals and second contacting portions transferring second data signals. The detecting pin produces two sets of different detecting signals corresponding to the first data signals and the second data signals. The controlling circuitry controls said data signals output data signals through different output terminals.

Electrical connector incorporated with signal controlling circuitry

A receptacle connector including at least three mating interfaces is provided and includes an insulative housing with a first and second groups of contacts mounted thereon. The first group of contacts serve as first Interface (USB 2.0), and a second group of contacts alternatively serve as mating interface of second and third interfaces (ESATA and USB 3.0). A switching board is provided and includes mounting interface of the second and the third interfaces. A shuttle member is moveably disposed within the housing and selectively interconnects the second group of contacts with either the mounting interface of the second interface or mounting interface of the third interface.

Receptacle connector having shuttle to selectively switch to different interfaces

An electrical connector includes: an insulative housing defining a front mating cavity; a mating tongue extending into the front mating cavity and defining thereon first and second mating faces opposite to each other, said mating tongue dividing said mating cavity into a first mating space confronting the first mating face for mating with a first complementary connector, and a second mating space confronting the second mating face for mutually exclusively mating with second and third complementary connector; a plurality of first type contacts disposed on the first mating face for connecting with the first complementary connector, a plurality of second type contacts disposed on the second mating face for connecting with the second complementary connector, and a plurality of third type contacts located between the first type contacts and the second type contacts with front ends of the third type contacts exposed to the second mating space.

Triple mating configurations of connector

A double-deck connector assembly ( ) includes a unitary housing ( ) defining upper and lower connection ports ( ) with upper and lower central slots ( ) for respectively receiving the corresponding upper and lower modules ( ) therein. The upper connection port ( ) is slightly forwardly offset from the lower connection port ( ). A pair of latching arms ( ) extend from two opposite ends of each connection port ( ) for retaining the corresponding module ( ) in position. A latching lug ( ) is formed on each latching arm ( ) for locking the module ( ) in position. A guidance surface ( ) is formed around a lower portion of the upper latch arm ( ) so that the upwardly rotated lower module ( ) can guidably move along the guidance surface ( ) to outwardly push away the corresponding upper latch arm ( ) thereabove to reach the initial insertion angular position which is essentially above the upper latch arm ( ).
