A surgical instrument support arm of a teleoperated patient side cart may include a first arm portion including a first connector end and a second a second arm portion including a second connector end. The second arm portion may be removably connectable to the first arm portion via mating engagement of the first and second connector ends. The first and second connector ends may each include complementary mechanical connections and complementary electrical connections. At least one of the electrical connections of the first and second connector ends may include electrical shielding to protect against electrical interference in a position in which the electrical connections are matingly engaged. The electrical shielding may be configured to axially compress when the electrical connections of the first and second connector ends are matingly engaged.

A system, apparatus, and method including a cable apparatus that is configured to be physically coupled to a printed circuit board. The cable apparatus includes a cable connector including at least one prong configured to be coupled within an aperture of the printed circuit board and an opening configured to receive an additional connector. The cable apparatus also includes a plurality of flexible cables coupled to the cable connector. Connecting portions of each of the plurality of flexible cables positioned within the opening of the receiving housing and configured to be operably coupled to the additional connector. The at least one prong does not transmit a signal into the printed circuit board and is configured to be press-fit within the aperture of the printed circuit board.

An electrical connector includes: an insulating body, including a base and a tongue extending forward from the base, a shielding sheet; and at least one row of terminals accommodated in the insulating body and located at one side of the shielding sheet. A side of the tongue is provided with at least one groove. The shielding sheet is provided with a plate body and at least one extending portion located on a side of the plate body. The extending portion is provided at the side of the tongue, and includes a locking groove exposed from the groove and a bending portion exposed from the tongue. The bending portion is located in front of the plate body and is spaced from the plate body. Each terminals include a head portion embedded in the tongue. In a front-rear direction, each head portion is located between the bending portion and the plate body.

The present disclosure relates to a mobile terminal fitting and an electric connector for the same. The mobile terminal fitting comprises a case body, an electric connector and a circuit board. The case body includes a bottom plate and a side plate that can be separated from each other, with the mobile terminal disposed in an accommodating groove formed by the side plate and the bottom plate of the case body, wherein the side plate is deformable in shape to ensure that the case body is easy to be installed and removed. The electric connector, disposed on the case body, comprises a socket and a plug, and can guarantee the electrical connection between the charging cord/data cable of the mobile terminal and the mobile terminal in the case body of the mobile terminal fitting.

A connector structure used in pin in paste soldering includes a standoff region with dimensions that provide reflow air convection on at least two sides of a surface of the connector structure during Pin In Paste (PIP) soldering. For example, the standoff region has a depth or height of approximately 0.3 mm, a length of approximately 15.1 mm, and a width of approximately 4.95 mm. The standoff region can also have a depth or height in a range of 0.3 mm to 0.5 mm. The connector structure is a single or dual port connector structure with the standoff region configured as a void or gap proximate to the connector pins, which creates a reflow air convection gate way across a surface of the connector structure during PIP soldering.

An electrical connection comprises a first connector, a second connector, a first wall surrounding the first connector, and a second wall surrounding the second connector. The first wall is configured to fit inside the second wall when the first and second connectors are connected. The first and second walls include leading faces comprising first and second chamfered portions, respectively. The first and second chamfered portions are angled complementarily for guiding the first wall inside the second wall during connection of the first and second connectors.

An electrical connector includes an insulating main housing including a main body portion that has a holding hole open rearward and a plate-shaped fitting portion that protrudes forward from the main body portion and fits to a mating connector; a shield member that covers the main housing; an insulating sub housing that is arranged in the holding hole; and a plurality of conductive terminals that include connection portions arranged on the fitting portion and terminal portions protruding from the holding hole, and are held by the sub housing. The sub housing includes a first sub housing that is inserted into the holding hole from behind in a state of holding a part of the plurality of terminals, and a second sub housing that is inserted into the holding hole from behind in a state of holding the terminals other than the part of the plurality of terminals.

An embodiment of a cradle has a cradle body configured to support a printing device. The cradle has first and second printer capture flanges extending from the cradle body proximate a capture end of the cradle body. The cradle has first and second biased latches extending from the cradle body between the capture end and a release end of the cradle body. The cradle has a biased release member movable between a first position and a release position. The cradle has a release linkage supported by the cradle body, the release linkage coupling the biased release member and the first and second biased latches, wherein the release linkage is structured to drive the first and second biased latches from respective locked positions to respective unlocked positions in response to movement of the biased release member from a first position to a release position.
