Modular Electrical Connector Assembly Providing Electrostatic Discharge Upon Insertion Of A Mating Connector

View page
US Patent:
6676423, Jan 13, 2004
Filed:
Apr 28, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/560990
Inventors:
Richard D. Marowsky - York PA
Derek Imschweiler - Dallastown PA
John Matthew Hess - Sparks MD
Len Espenshade - Harrisburg PA
Ronald Locati - York PA
Assignee:
Stewart Connector Systems, Inc. - Glen Rock PA
International Classification:
H01R 1353
US Classification:
439181, 439188, 439670, 439673
Abstract:
An electrical connector assembly adapted to be mounted on a substrate having a ground region including a jack defining a plug-receiving receptacle, at least one contact having a contact portion situated in the receptacle, a shield surrounding at least a portion of the jack and a shorting bar arranged in electrical connection with the contact(s) for discharging static charge from a plug upon its insertion into the receptacle and contact between the plug and the contact(s). The shorting bar is arranged in a channel in an outer housing part of the jack and in engagement with end portions of contacts received in slots in a comb portion of the outer housing part. The shield is adapted to be connected to the ground region of the substrate whereby the shorting bar is electrically connected to the shield. In use, prior to insertion of a mating plug into the receptacle, the end portions of the contacts engage the shorting bar and as the plug is inserted into the receptacle, static charge built up on the cable to which the plug is connected is transmitted through contacts to the shorting bar, from the shorting bar to the shield and from the shield to the ground on the printed circuit board on which the connector assembly is mounted.

Optical Interconnection System

View page
US Patent:
58964800, Apr 20, 1999
Filed:
Oct 22, 1997
Appl. No.:
8/955762
Inventors:
Robert M. Scharf - Melbourne FL
Randal B. Lord - Melbourne FL
Derek Imschweiler - Dallastown PA
Assignee:
Stewart Connector Systems, Inc. - Glen Rock PA
International Classification:
G02B 600
G02B 636
US Classification:
385 88
Abstract:
An opto-electric jack is provided which can be used as a drop-in replacement for a standard electrical jack such as an RJ-type or D-subminiature type jack. The opto-electric jack includes housing having a receptacle for receiving an optical plug which is coupled to a fiber optic cable, and a plurality of electrical terminals for connection to an electrical circuit. Preferably, the terminals are arranged in a predetermined array which corresponds to the terminal array (or footprint) of a standard electrical jack. An opto-electric conversion circuit is disposed within the housing, and is operable to convert optical signals received from the optical plug into electrical signals for transmission to the electrical circuit via the terminals, and to convert electrical signals received from the electrical circuit via the terminals into optical signals which are transmitted to the optical plug. The opto-electric conversion circuit preferably includes a light emitting diode or diode laser for converting electrical signals to optical signals for transmission along the fiber optic cable, as well as a photo diode or photo transistor for receiving optical signals sent along the optical cable and converting the same to electrical impulses for transmission to the electrical circuit.

Surface-Mountable Modular Electrical Connector Assemblies Having Co-Planar Terminals

US Patent:
6196879, Mar 6, 2001
Filed:
May 28, 1999
Appl. No.:
9/322449
Inventors:
John Matthew Hess - Dallastown PA
Derek Imschweiler - Dallastown PA
Jeffrey Fleming - Felton PA
Assignee:
Stewart Connector Systems, Inc. - Glen Rock PA
International Classification:
H01R 2400
US Classification:
439676
Abstract:
A connector assembly for surface mounting on a substrate including a jack and an optional shield surrounding the jack. The jack includes a housing defining a plug-receiving receptacle, contact/terminal members having a contact portion situated in the receptacle, a terminal portion extending from the housing and adapted to be surface mounted to the substrate, and an intermediate portion between the contact portion and the terminal portion. The intermediate portions of the contact/terminals members are retained or entrapped in the housing in fixed positions such that the terminal portions of the contact/terminals members extend downward and rearward from the housing in a common plane. To this end, the housing includes channels in which the intermediate portions of the contact/terminal members are placed such that the terminal portions extend from the channels at an angle to a bottom surface of the housing. Each intermediate portion has a first surface contacting a surface of the inner or outer housing part at a first location and a second surface opposite to the first surface contacting a surface of the other of the inner and outer housing parts at a second location.

Modular Jack Connector

US Patent:
20180248318, Aug 30, 2018
Filed:
Apr 26, 2018
Appl. No.:
15/963765
Inventors:
- 13 Andar H-J, MO
Andrew David Baum - York PA, US
David Henry Gutter - Felton PA, US
Derek Imschweiler - Glen Rock PA, US
Richard D. Marowsky - York PA, US
International Classification:
H01R 13/6469
H01R 24/64
H01R 13/6594
Abstract:
A modular jack connector compensates for plug characteristics via a controlled primary compensation in the immediate vicinity of the connector interface. A jack contact assembly is positioned within a jack housing and includes first and second sets of elongate contacts each having a plug contact portion and a signal output portion. Each elongate contact is configured such that their respective plug contact portions are coplanar and a signal path is defined between their plug contact portions and their signal output portions. A flexible circuit board is coupled proximate to the plug contact portions, and configured to provide capacitance compensation between respective contacts engaged thereby, wherein the capacitance compensation is offset from a signal path defined between the plug contact portions and the corresponding signal output portions.
