Abstract

A contact system for electrically connecting a device having an arcuate wall with a docking station having a linear wall. The contact system includes a first contact positioned in the device and a second contact positioned in the docking station. The first contact has a contoured contact engagement surface with a contoured contact engagement surface arc which is essentially the same as an arcuate wall arc of the arcuate wall of the device. The second contact has a resilient contact arm which engages the contoured contact engagement surface of the first contact when the device is inserted into the docking station. The engagement of the resilient contact arm of the second contact and the contoured contact engagement surface of the first contact provides a positive electrical connection between the first contact and the second contact and compensates for angular misalignment between the device with the docking station.

Abstract

An assembly for terminating a high speed cable. The assembly includes a shell housing and preassembled crosstalk shield. The shell housing has a mating end and a conductor receiving end, One or more shield receiving recesses extend from the conductor receiving end toward the mating end. The preassembled crosstalk shield has mounting projects which are positioned in the one or more shield receiving recesses. The mounting projections and the one or more shield receiving recesses provide an interference engagement to provide a secure mechanical and electrical connection between the shell housing and the preassembled crosstalk shield.

Abstract

A connector comprises a housing defining a receptacle sized to receive a flat flexible cable. A conductive terminal is arranged within the receptacle and adapted to contact an exposed conductor of the flat flexible cable received within the receptacle. A seal is positioned in contact with a front end of the housing and defines a cable receiving slot therethrough aligned with the receptacle. A cover is arranged over the seal and includes a slotted opening aligned with the cable receiving slot of the seal and the receptacle. The cover selectively fixed to the front end of the housing.

Abstract

A receptacle cage includes shielding walls forming a module channel configured to receive a pluggable module. The shielding walls include a first end wall, a first side wall extending from the first end wall and a second side wall extending from the first end wall opposite the first side wall. The first end wall, the first side wall and the second side wall form the module channel. The receptacle cage includes a hood extending from the first end wall forming a chamber located outside of the module channel. The receptacle cage includes a cage polarization slot formed in the first end wall at a first distance from the first side wall. The cage polarization slot is open to the chamber. The cage polarization slot is configured to receive a module polarization feature of the pluggable module such that the module polarization feature is located in the chamber and covered by the hood.

Abstract

A supply charging device includes a supply power connector having a supply housing coupled to a panel having a guide member configured to engage a guide feature of a receive power connector to guide mating. The supply power connector includes a door closing a supply contact chamber holding supply power contacts. The supply charging device includes a float element engaging the panel to allow floating of the supply power connector relative to the panel for aligning the mating end of the supply power connector with the receive power connector. A sealing boot is coupled to the housing and the panel to provide an environmental seal between the supply power connector and the panel. The sealing boot is flexible to maintain sealing as the supply power connector floats relative to the panel.
