Embodiment Construction

[0011] To distinguish similar elements in the detailed description and claims, different symbols may be used. For example, an electrical connector may be referred to as a plug connector, a receptacle connector, or a mating connector. The electrical contacts may be referred to as plug contacts, pin contacts, electrical contacts or mating contacts. When similar components are marked differently (eg, plug contacts and pin contacts), the different markings do not necessarily require structural differences. For example, in some embodiments, the header contacts described herein may be referred to as pin contacts.

[0012] figure 1 is a perspective view of a communication system 100 formed in accordance with an embodiment. In certain embodiments, communication system 100 may be a backplane or midplane communication system. The communication system 100 includes a circuit board assembly 102, a first connector system (or assembly) 104 configured to be coupled to one side of the circ...

Abstract

An electric connector (116) comprises a connector housing (117) which is constructed for joining a matching connector (104) in a matching operation process. The connector housing comprises a contact array (168) of needle type contacts (120). Each needle type contact is provided with an elongated body (300). The elongated body limits a central surface (334) which extends along a longitudinal axis (192) to a matching end (182). Each needle type contact is provided with a first deflectable beam and a second deflectable beam (322,324) at the matching end. The first deflectable beam is constructed for joining the first flexible contact finger (252) of the matching connector and deflecting to the central surface in a matching operation process. The second deflectable beam is constructed for joining the second flexible contact finger (254) of the matching connector and deflecting to the central surface in the matching operation process.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to electrical contacts for electrical connectors. Background technique [0002] Electrical connectors are used to transmit data and / or power in various industries. Electrical connectors are generally configured as electrical connectors that are repeatedly engaged and disengaged from each other. The process of mating electrical connectors may be referred to as a mating operation. In some applications, such as in backplane communication systems, a large number of electrical contacts are mated simultaneously. The mating force of each electrical contact is cumulative, so the overall mating force of an electrical connector with a large number of contacts can be very high. There is a need to reduce the overall mating force that must be applied to the electrical connector during the mating operation. Contents of the invention [0003] According to the present invention, an electrical connector includes a connector housing c...
