Abstract:
A flat cable (100) includes an insulative carrier (20) extending along a front-to-back direction, a set of signal conductors (10) held by the insulative carrier, and a metal grid layer (30) attached to the insulative carrier. The insulative carrier has a top face facing upwardly and a bottom face facing downwardly. The insulative carrier defines a set of receiving passageways (210) disposed along a transverse direction perpendicular to the front-to-back direction. The set of signal conductors extend along the front-to-back direction and have different pitches along the transverse direction. The metal grid layer is attached to the top face or the bottom face. The metal grid layer has different densities along the front-to-back direction in order to make the impedance of the flat cable consistent along the front-to-back direction.

Abstract:
A cable electrical connector assembly includes an electrical connector, a cable soldered with the electrical connector, and an insulative body. The electrical connector includes a printed circuit board having a number of conductive pads, two of the conductive pads forming a differential signal pair for differential signal transmission. The cable has a number of core wires soldered with the conductive pads. The insulative body encloses a soldering area of the conductive pads and the cable core wires. The insulative body has a slot between the two conductive pads of the differential signal pair, the slot running through the insulative body along an up-to-down direction. The slot improves impedance in the soldering area of the core wires and the conductive pads.

Abstract:
A delatch mechanism for a plug connector (100) plugged in a cage (20). The delatch mechanism includes a latch block (210) positioned at an exterior surface of the cage, a latch tap (14) positioned at an exterior portion of the plug connector (100), and an actuator member (3) positioned at the exterior portion of the plug connector.
