Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
147 words
A multiple contact electrical connector for transmission of electrical signals therethrough comprising first and second matable connectors (1,2) each including signal contacts (5,5') and ground contacts (6,6′) secured in first and second dielectric housings (3,3') and arranged in a two-dimensional manner therein, said signal contacts (5,5') and said ground contacts (6,6') being arranged in said housings (3,3') in rows spaced at regular intervals with said ground contacts (6,6') being shifted half a pitch relative to said signal contacts (5,5') characterized in that said ground contacts (6) in said first dielectric housing (3) are tab contacts and said ground contacts (6') in said second dielectric housing (3') are fork shaped contacts and are oriented transversely to said tab shaped ground contacts (6), said ground contacts (6,6') being substantially wider than said signal contacts (5,5'), thereby each defining a grounding structure extending substantially between two adjacent signal contacts (5,5').
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
41 words
A multiple contact electrical connector as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that said signal contacts (5) in said first dielectric housing (3) are pin contacts and said signal contacts (5') in said second dielectric housing (3') are C-shaped receptacle contacts.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
24 words
A multiple contact electrical connector as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that said ground contacts 6,6') form a cross-shaped configuration when mated together.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
29 words
A multiple contact electrical connector as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that the rows of the signal contacts (5,5') are staggered with respect to the ground contacts (6,6').
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
35 words
A multiple contact electrical connector as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that said signal contacts (5) and said ground contacts (6) in said housing (3) are secured in a base of said housing (3).
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
64 words
A multiple contact electrical connector as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that said signal contacts (5') and said ground contacts (6') in said second dielectric housing (3') have receptacle contact portions (9,9') and termination sections (10,10') with connecting sections (13,13') extending between the receptacle contact portions and the termination sections, and a dielectric material is secured onto and covering said connecting sections (13,13').
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
34 words
A multiple contact electrical connector as claimed in claim 6, characterized in that said connecting sections (13') of said ground contacts (6') are wider than said connecting sections (13) of said signal contacts (5').
