A housing of a connector includes a body and a guiding structure. The body has a first end and a second end opposite the first end in a length direction. The guiding structure has a guiding groove at the first end of the body and extending perpendicular to the body and a guiding post at the second end of the body. The guiding groove is complementary to the guiding post and has a shape corresponding to and shaped to receive the guiding post.

A socket connector includes a substrate having contact channels between upper and lower surfaces and pockets between the upper and lower surfaces between corresponding contact channels. The socket connector includes socket contacts received in corresponding contact channels. Each socket contact includes a contact body, an upper mating element extending to the upper surface to interface with a first electrical component, and lower mating element extending to the lower surface to interface with a second electrical component. The socket connector includes lossy inserts received in the pockets manufactured from lossy material capable of absorbing electrical resonance propagating through the substrate. The lossy inserts are separate and discrete from the substrate and are attached to the substrate in the pockets in proximity to the socket contacts.

An antenna device includes a main circuit board, a first-type antenna ground-coupled to the main circuit board, and a second-type antenna ground-coupled to the main circuit board. The first-type antenna has a ground structure. The second-type antenna is spaced apart from the first-type antenna and an operating bandwidth of the second-type antenna is greater than an operating bandwidth of the first-type antenna.

The sealing element of the waterproof connector has a shape in which a family seal portion that waterproofs the peripheries of electric wires which are sandwiched between an inner housing and an outer housing 40 , and which are not illustrated, and a seal ring portion that performs waterproofing between the seal ring portion and a mating housing are integrated. The standing board portions of the inner housing penetrate the long openings of the sealing element, and the portion to be caught of the outer housing is caught by catch protrusion portions that are formed in upper portions of the standing board portions and each have a hook shape, whereby the inner housing and the outer housing are assembled in a state in which the family seal portion of the sealing element is sandwiched between the inner housing and the outer housing. The mating housing comes into contact with the third waterproof portion of the sealing element, which acts as the seal ring portion.

A circuit board assembly includes a first circuit board, a second circuit board having a first side extending adjacent to a first side of the first circuit board, and a metal fitting including a portion bent at the angle and spanning both the first side of the first circuit board and the first side of the second circuit board. The second circuit board is in a posture having an angle other than 180° to the first circuit board. The metal fitting is fixed to both the first circuit board and the second circuit board.

An electric connector assembly includes an insulating housing, a plurality of rows of contact terminals disposed in the insulating housing and including a plurality of signal terminals and a plurality of ground terminals, and a conductive shell assembled on the insulating housing. The conductive shell contacts and is connected with the ground terminals to electrically connect the ground terminals together.

An electrical connector is provided including a housing retaining a plurality of terminals. The housing is mated with a mating electrical connector along a mating direction. The housing includes a receiving region receiving the mating electrical connector, a sound path adjacent to the receiving region, and a partition wall dividing the receiving region and the sound path from each other. The sound path includes an open end on a first end and a closed end on a second end along the mating direction.

A connector 10 includes a housing 20 and CPA 30 that assures the state of complete mating between the connector 10 and a mating connector. The housing 20 includes a CPA retention portion 23 that retains the CPA 30 . A sliding surface 61 , on which the CPA 30 slides, and side walls 62 , disposed upright on both the right and left sides of the sliding surface 61 , are disposed on the CPA retention portion 23 . In the right and left side walls 62 , through-holes 63 are opened alternately with respect to a slide direction. The connector, which includes the CPA, includes a housing having a low profile.

A connector includes a housing having a mating portion matable with a mating connector and a flexible beam with a housing-side catch portion, and a connection position assurance device (CPA) that slides between a first position on the housing and a second position closer to the mating portion than the first position. The CPA in the second position assures that the connector is completely mated with the mating connector. The flexible beam extends in a sliding direction of the CPA and slidably supports the CPA. The housing-side catch portion interferes with the CPA and deflects by interfering with the CPA. The CPA includes a rail that has a device-side catch portion interfering with the housing-side catch portion and that slides while being supported by the flexible beam.

A cable connector assembly includes a connector having a casing and a ring-like member and a cable connected to the connector. The cable has an internal cable and a cable shield surrounding the internal cable. The casing accommodates an end of the cable. The ring-like member is positioned around the cable inside the casing. The ring-like member has a flat spring portion extending between the cable shield and the casing and contacting both the cable shield and the casing.
