Abstract
An electrical connector comprising at least a one or two position FAKRA compliant jack housing providing a SMB interface and further comprising a front section keyed according to desired FAKRA specifications, and a rear section having a latch on the back of both sidewalls of the rear section; and a jack, which can integrate into said FAKRA compliant jack housing wherein said jack is snap-fit into place by the latches on the rear section.
Claims33
A coaxial electrical connector comprising:
- a one or more position FAKRA compliant jack housing providing a SMB interface and further comprising a front section keyed according to desired FAKRA specifications, and a rear section having a jack receiving cavity defined by opposing sidewalls, at least one pair of opposing latches in association with the opposing sidewalls of said rear section;
- and
- a coaxial jack received within said jack receiving cavity of said FAKRA compliant jack housing wherein said jack is snap-fit to the jack housing by the at least one pair of opposing latches associated with said rear section, wherein the snap-fit provides a snap-out engagement between the jack and the jack housing.
A two position coaxial electrical connector comprising:
- a two position FAKRA compliant jack housing providing a SMB interface, and further comprising two front sections keyed according to desired FAKRA specifications, and two rear sections each having opposing sidewalls and at least one pair of opposing latches associated with the sidewalls of said rear sections;
- a coaxial jack, which can integrate into said FAKRA compliant jack housing and wherein said jack is snap-fit into place by said at least one pair of opposing latches associated with said rear sections, wherein the snap-fit provides a removable engagement between the jack and the jack housing;
- a web conjoining the two front sections, wherein the web is a structural member for maintaining a displacement between the two front sections;
- and
- a locking nose centrally mounted on the surface of said web.
A coaxial electrical connector comprising:
- a FAKRA compliant jack housing providing an SMB interface and configured to receive a coaxial jack therein, said FAKRA compliant jack housing further comprising a front section keyed according to desired FAKRA specifications, a locking nose centrally mounted on the surface of said front section, and a rear section having opposing sidewalls and at least one pair of opposing latches in association with the opposing sidewalls of said rear section for providing a snap-out engagement between the jack housing and the jack.
A coaxial electrical connector comprising:
- a FAKRA compliant jack housing providing a SMB interface and configured to receive a coaxial jack therein, said FAKRA compliant jack housing further comprising a front section keyed according to desired FAKIR specifications, and a rear section having opposing sidewalls, at least one pair of opposing latches in association with the opposing sidewalls, wherein the at least one pair of opposing latches are angled toward each other for a snap-out engagement of the jack housing with the jack.
