High-speed electrical connectors with enhanced shielding techniques
The patent US12074398B2 describes a cable assembly designed for a cable connector, which includes a subassembly housing that holds multiple conductive elements arranged in a column. Each conductive element features a mating end, a mounting end, and an intermediate portion. The mounting ends are connected to signal and ground cable ends. The assembly also incorporates a plurality of cables, each consisting of a pair of wires encased in a cable shield, with the wires linked to the signal cable ends. A conductive hood, composed of two portions, connects the ground ends of the conductive elements and allows the cables to pass through, ensuring electrical contact with the cable shields.
Additionally, the patent outlines a subassembly that includes a core member with insulative and lossy materials, which supports two separate subassemblies, each containing conductive elements and cables. These subassemblies are designed to be attached to opposite sides of the core member, facilitating electrical connections through lossy materials. The cable connector housing is structured to retain multiple cable assemblies, with features that ensure the ground ends of the conductive elements are electrically coupled through lossy materials. This design aims to enhance the performance and reliability of the cable connector by improving electrical connections and shielding.
