Ruggedized electrical receptacle
First Claim
1. A ruggedized electrical receptacle, comprising:
- a shell including an inner surface defining an inner receiving area having front and rear sections, the front section being configured to receive an interface of a mating connector;
a contact subassembly received in the shell, the contact subassembly comprising,a contact printed circuit board with first and second opposing faces,a plurality of interface contacts coupled to the first face of the contact printed circuit board and a plurality of termination contacts coupled to the second face of the contact printed circuit board, andan overmold overmolded onto the contact subassembly, the overmold surrounding the contact printed circuit board such that free ends of the plurality of interface contacts are exposed and extend toward the front section of the shell for engaging the mating connector and tail ends of the plurality of termination contacts are exposed and extend toward the rear section of the shell for engagement with a main printed circuit board; and
an internal sealing member disposed between an outer surface of the overmold and the inner surface of the shell, thereby creating a seal therebetween.

Abstract
A ruggedized electrical receptacle that has a shell configured to receive an interface of a mating connector and a contact subassembly received in the shell. The contact subassembly includes a contact printed circuit board, interface contacts coupled to one face of the contact printed circuit board, termination contacts coupled to the other face thereof, and an overmold overmolded on the board. The overmold surrounds the contact printed circuit board such that free ends of the interface contacts are exposed and tail ends of the termination contacts are exposed. An internal sealing member is disposed between an outer surface of the overmold and the inner surface of the shell, thereby creating a seal therebetween.

16. A ruggedized electrical receptacle, comprising:
-
a shell including an inner receiving area having front and rear sections, the front section being configured to receive an interface of a mating connector; a contact subassembly received in the shell, the contact subassembly comprising, a contact printed circuit board with first and second opposing faces, at least one of the first and second opposing faces having capacitive compensation circuits, a plurality of interface contacts coupled to the first face of the contact printed circuit board and a plurality of termination contacts coupled to the second face of the contact printed circuit board, and an overmold overmolded onto the contact subassembly, the overmold surrounding the contact printed circuit board such that free ends of the plurality of interface contacts are exposed and extend toward the front section of the shell for engaging the mating connector and tail ends of the plurality of termination contacts are exposed and extend toward the rear section of the shell for engaging a main printed circuit board; and an internal sealing member disposed around an outer perimeter of the overmold, thereby creating a seal therebetween between the overmold and the shell. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
