High Frequency Electrical Connector Assembly Such As A Multi-Port Multi-Level Connector Assembly

View page
US Patent:
6579127, Jun 17, 2003
Filed:
Mar 22, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/816731
Inventors:
John Matthew Hess - Dallastown PA
David Henry Gutter - Elizabethtown PA
Ted R. Meckley - Seven Valleys PA
Robert Colantuono - Dover PA
Leonard K. Espenshade - Harrisburg PA
Assignee:
Stewart Connector Systems, Inc. - Glen Rock PA
International Classification:
H01R 2400
US Classification:
439676, 439941
Abstract:
A high frequency modular electrical connector assembly including contact/terminal members arranged in such a manner to reduce crosstalk during use. The connector assembly includes a dielectric housing having a receptacle and an insert assembly arranged therein. The insert assembly includes an insert housing and first, second and preferably third sets of contact/terminal members, each contact/terminal member including a contact portion situated in the receptacle, a terminal portion extending beyond the bottom surface of the insert housing and an intermediate portion interconnecting the contact portion and the terminal portion. The contact/terminal member(s) in each set are geometrically different than the contact/terminal members in the other set(s) and are arranged substantially parallel to one another. The insert housing has passageways in each of which a respective contact/terminal member is received. To reduce crosstalk, the contact/terminal members are arranged such that each contact/terminal member is different from any adjacent contact/terminal member(s).

US Patent:
20050106918, May 19, 2005
Filed:
Nov 17, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/715232
Inventors:
Robert Colantuono - Dover PA, US
Ted Meckley - Seven Valleys PA, US
International Classification:
H01R013/28
US Classification:
439290000
Abstract:
Modular connector including a housing defining a cable-receiving cavity and having a lower wall, a tab at a front portion extending rearwardly and obliquely outward from the lower wall and an anti-snag member extending from the lower wall to engage with the tab to close a gap between the tab and the lower wall and prevent snagging of wires by the tab. The anti-snag member includes an arcuate portion defining a forward facing end at an interface between the arcuate portion and the lower wall. The connector also includes an arrangement for electrically coupling a cable when received in the cavity to electrical contacts in a mating connector. In the manufacturing process, the anti-snag member is formed as a part of the mold of the housing but in a planar form extending rearwardly from the lower wall and is then bent by heating into the arcuate form.

US Patent:
62676288, Jul 31, 2001
Filed:
Jun 2, 1999
Appl. No.:
9/324164
Inventors:
Ted R. Meckley - Seven Valleys PA
Ronald Locati - York PA
Patrick Hulbert - New Providence PA
Assignee:
Stewart Connector Systems, Inc. - Glen Rock PA
International Classification:
H01R 2302
US Classification:
439676
Abstract:
A high frequency, modular electrical connector assembly including contact/terminal members arranged in such a manner to reduce crosstalk during use. The connector assembly includes a dielectric housing having a receptacle and an insert assembly arranged therein. The insert assembly includes an insert housing and first, second and preferably third sets of contact/terminal members, each contact/terminal member including a contact portion situated in the receptacle, a terminal portion extending beyond the bottom surface of the insert housing and an intermediate portion interconnecting the contact portion and the terminal portion. The contact/terminal member(s) in each set are geometrically different than the contact/terminal members in the other set(s) and are arranged substantially parallel to one another. The insert housing has conduits in each of which a respective contact/terminal member is received. To reduce crosstalk, the conduits are arranged such that each contact/terminal member is different from any adjacent contact/terminal member(s).

High Frequency Electrical Connector Assembly With Forward Facing Contact/Terminal Member Securing Insert

US Patent:
61796670, Jan 30, 2001
Filed:
Jun 15, 1999
Appl. No.:
9/333365
Inventors:
Leonard K Espenshade - Harrisburg PA
Ronald Locati - York PA
Brian Simmering - Red Lion PA
Ted Meckley - Seven Valleys PA
Assignee:
Stewart Connector Systems, Inc. - Glen Rock PA
International Classification:
H01R 2400
US Classification:
439676
Abstract:
A high frequency electrical connector assembly including a housing defining a plug-receiving receptacle having an entrance opening and contact/terminal members arranged in the housing. The contact/terminal members include at least one forward facing contact/terminal member having a forward facing contact situated in the receptacle and a non-contact portion including a terminal. The forward facing contact has a rearward end coupled to the terminal and a forward end which is closer to the entrance opening than the rearward end. The housing includes an outer housing part and an insert assembly insertable into the outer housing part to define the plug-receiving receptacle and including a securing insert for firmly securing the forward facing contact/terminal member(s) in the housing. The securing insert itself may be secured in connection with the housing to prevent movement thereof.

Modular Jack Connector With A Flexible Laminate Capacitor Mounted On A Circuit Board

US Patent:
57369100, Apr 7, 1998
Filed:
Nov 22, 1995
Appl. No.:
8/561931
Inventors:
Peter K. Townsend - Camp Hill PA
Ted R. Meckley - Seven Valleys PA
David Hatch - Glen Rock PA
Don McClune - York PA
Robert J. Brennan - York PA
Assignee:
Stewart Connector Systems, Inc. - Glen Rock PA
International Classification:
H03H 709
US Classification:
333181
Abstract:
A modular jack connector mounted on a main printed circuit board and having a receptacle into which a modular plug of an electronic component is inserted. The connector includes a housing, a first set of contacts arranged in the housing each adapted to engage one of the contacts of the plug, a second set of contacts at least partially arranged in the housing and adapted to engaging the main printed circuit board, contact coupling circuit means for electrically coupling the first and second sets of contacts, a capacitor for providing impedance to high frequency noise and interference and a metallic shield at least partially surrounding the housing and connected to a grounding region on the main printed circuit board. In one embodiment, the capacitor is a flexible laminate assembly including first and second conductive sheet members and an intermediate insulative material. Further, the capacitor has a plurality of folded pleats including a first pleat arranged at one end of the laminate assembly and a second pleat arranged at an opposite end of the laminate assembly.
