A connector () is connected to the front end of a cable () in a compact connection that provides electrical shielding and a water-tight seal. The connector has a metal main sleeve () with a rear end () having circular crimps (). One crimp () is made against the cable insulator () to provide a water-tight seal and the other () is made to the cable shielding braid () to ground the main sleeve. The main sleeve has a front portion with a crimp () that crimps against an elastic seal ring () lying in a groove () in an insulative body () that has contact-holding passages ().

Compact sealed and shielded connector

A plug connector device (, FIG.) for medium voltage (e.g. 220 volts) compact servomotors has a power plug unit () and a control signal plug unit (), each with connectable/disconnectable outer and inner plugs (and), the units lying in a single connector housing that is supported around a wire-passing aperture () in a motor housing part () and that pivots to different angular positions.

Connector arrangement for compact servomotor

A hand-held electrical device () such as a mobile telephone, includes a carrier () formed by a thick (over 2 mm) plate of insulative material having a plurality of recesses that receive electronic components. The periphery of the carrier forms most of the periphery of the electronic device. A circuit board () with traces thereon lies facewise adjacent to a face of the carrier. Electronic components lying in recesses of the carrier, are connected by resilient blades to conductive traces on the circuit board.

Portable electronic device with carrier plate

A connector module ( ) for installation on a small mobile telephone to enable the module to rest at a docking station where contacts mate to pass multiple medium to low frequency signals and power and to pass high frequency signals through a coaxial connection of high frequency signals as to an external antenna. The module includes a molded dielectric body ( ) having a first body part ( ) that holds the first contacts ( ) for medium to low frequency signals and power, and having a second body part ( ) that extends from a longitudinal end ( ) of the first body part and that holds the coaxial contacts ( ). The first contacts have strip-shaped mating sides ( ) fixed to the body for engaging mating contacts by merely pressing the body against a row of resilient contacts on the docking station, while the coaxial contacts are constructed with the inner contact having a face that can be deflected by a mating inner contact ( ) and with the outer coaxial contact ( ) forming a conical recess ( ) for receiving a corresponding projection on the mating outer coaxial contact member of the docking station.

A PC card (10) of standard width and thickness (e.g. 54 mm and 5 mm) is constructed to receive a chip card (20) of smaller width and thickness (e.g. 18 mm and 0.8 mm) so the PC card can be used to connect contact pads (60) of the chip card to an electronic device such as a laptop computer into which the PC card is inserted. A frame (22) is mounted in a fixed position on a circuit board of the PC card, the frame having a recess (82) substantially the same width as that of the chip card for closely receiving the chip card to locate it so pads on the chip card engage chip contacts (76) that are also mounted on the circuit board. A planar top portion (86) of a sheet metal cover part has an aperture (24) that communicates with the recess in the frame to permit the insertion of the chip card through the aperture and into the recess of the frame. A sheet metal lid (26) is slidably mounted directly under the top sheet metal cover portion between an open position to pass the chip card and a closed position to close the aperture so radio waves cannot pass therethrough.
