HIGH SPEED RECEPTACLE CONNECTOR PART

摘要

In an electrical connector, one or more contacts may be inserted into a base housing. The contacts A may be stamped from a sheet of electrically conductive material. A housing cover may be assembled onto the base housing. The base housing and housing cover may be molded from an electrically insulating material. A structure may be provided for retaining the contacts in the housing. Angled surfaces on the cover come into contact with lead-in surfaces on beams of the contacts. Downward motion of the cover towards the base cams the contact beams outward to a specified distance, thus creating a preload situation of the contact beams against the surfaces. The contacts may be bifurcated or single beam contacts.
