Abstract: A high-speed connector system includes a male connector and a female connector which are configured to be coupled together. Each connector includes a housing and a module. Each housing houses a plurality of electrical terminals in terminal receiving passageways and has walls defining a module receiving passage in which the module is seated. Each module is configured to receive an electrical terminal, and has a plurality of rounded nubs on walls forming the module which are engaged with walls forming the module receiving passage. The nubs space the module from the walls of the module receiving passage and form a ball joint to allow floating of the module relative to the housing.

Abstract: An electrical connector includes an insulative housing, and a pair of contacts which are secured together by a clamp mounted within the housing. Each electrical contact includes a planar body, spring fingers extending from a first end of the body, and a coupling extending from the body to couple the electrical contacts to the housing. A first deflection zone between the clamp and first ends of the spring fingers allows the spring fingers to deflect in a lateral direction to receive the conductive component within the receiving space. A second deflection zone between the first ends of the spring fingers and the second ends of the bodies allow the bodies and spring fingers to deflect in the lateral direction when the conductive component is received within the receiving space, but the conductive component is not directly aligned with the receiving space.

Abstract: An optical modulating device of the present disclosure includes an optical splitter, an optical phase modulator and an optical combiner. The optical splitter splits an inputting optical signal by an optical splitting ratio to generate a first split optical signal and a second split optical signal. The optical phase modulator phase modulates the first split optical signal and the second split optical signal to respectively generate a first modulating optical signal and a second modulating optical signal. The optical combiner combines the first modulating optical signal and the second modulating optical signal by a combining ratio to generate an outputting optical signal having a chirp, the combining ratio being equal to the optical splitting ratio, a value of the combining ratio being a positive number, and the value being less than one or more than one.

Abstract: Backplane connector systems include electromagnetic shielding terminal enclosures to protect high-speed, differential data signals from deleterious electromagnetic signals. Such terminal enclosures include connected, U-shaped shields that include protrusions that slidably contact one another to form a plurality of electrical ground paths. The plurality of paths direct such deleterious signals away from the high-speed, differential data signals.
