Embodiment Construction

[0031] Certain embodiments can provide a connector having a reduced size in at least one dimension, which can result in a reduced size of an electronic device using the connector. Certain embodiments can provide connectors that support communication using one or more high-speed interface standards, where the standards may include limitations on the amount of crosstalk between signals and contact impedance. Embodiments can provide one or more components of a standardized or generalized connector so that it can be implemented in different types and models of electronic devices (eg, media players).

[0032] figure 1 is a simplified perspective view of a typical media player 100 and plug connector 120 (neither drawn to scale) that can be improved by employing embodiments of the present invention. The media player 100 may include an LCD screen 114 for viewing and a click wheel 112 for control. Other implementations may include a touch screen, keyboard, or other interface componen...

Abstract

Receptacle connectors and male plug connectors having a reduced size in at least one direction can be provided. One example reduces height by not including a center contact tab or tongue, but instead places contacts on an insulator that is adjacent to a bottom portion of the receptacle. Another example may reduce width by reducing contact pitch, and may use a particular shape of contact to achieve god signal quality. Receptacle connectors and male plug connectors can also provide support for one or more new high-speed communication standards, such as USB 3.0 and DisplayPort. Methods can provide one or more standardized connector components to speed connector design and manufacture of new electronic devices such as media players, thus reducing their time to market.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to multi-pin female receptacle connectors. [0002] This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application No. 61 / 101,151, filed September 30, 2008, entitled "REDUCED SIZE MULTI-PIN CONNECTOR," and is the aforementioned provisional application, which is incorporated herein by reference. This application is also related to co-owned and concurrently filed application by Sloey et al. (Attorney Docket No. 20750P-008710US), entitled "REDUCED SIZE MULTI-PIN MALE PLUG CONNECTOR," The disclosure of this application is incorporated by reference in its entirety in this application. Background technique [0003] Electronic devices, such as media players, and related devices have become popular in recent years. As these devices proliferated, so did their types and styles. During this period, consumers' desire for more functions to be integrated into ever-decreasing structural elements has become a theme. [0004] At the...
