An electrical connector assembly includes a pair of electrical connectors for electrically connecting to one another to close an electric circuit. The assembly further includes a connection indicator attached to one or more of the electrical connectors. The connection indicator generates a feedback, in response to the electrical connectors being one of connected to one another and disconnected from one another. The connection indicator is separate from the electric circuit, and the feedback is at least one of a radio frequency signal (RF signal), an electronic signal, a visible light, and an acoustic signal.

A system and method for detecting moisture in a USC Type-C port having at least one probe comprised of a signal electrode and a VBUS electrode in the USB Type-C port. The at least one probe detects a voltage at the signal electrode and a judgment circuit compares detected voltage to a voltage threshold, wherein the judgment circuit outputs a low setting when the voltage detected at the signal electrode of the at least one probe is less than or equal to the threshold voltage, and the judgment circuit outputs a high setting when the voltage detected at the signal electrode is above the voltage threshold.

A cable such as a server cable may have a tapered termination portion that when connected to other information handling system components reduces the loss of signal between the cable and the information handling system component. A method of making a cable with a tapered termination portion comprising heating a wire having an end and a body portion, the body portion having a first diameter; pulling the end relative to the body portion, for example with a clamp coupled to the end under tension, to obtain a location between the end and the body portion having a second diameter smaller than the first diameter; and cutting the wire at the location.

An electrical connector assembly including a first connector and a second connector to be mated with each other is provided. The first connector includes a first body, and at least one first terminal and multiple second terminals disposed therein. The second terminals are symmetrically arranged at opposite sides of the first terminal. The second connector includes a second body, at least one third terminal movably disposed in the second body, multiple fourth terminals disposed in the second body and symmetrically arranged at opposite sides of the third terminal, and a driving module electrically connected to at least one of the fourth terminals and structurally connected to the third terminal. In the mating process of the first and second connector, the second terminals and the fourth terminals are electrically connected firstly, to trigger the driving module to move the third terminal to be structurally and electrically connected to the first terminal.

A telecommunications jack adapter for receiving multiple types of jacks can include an opening structure having a main body defining a central opening for receiving a first jack type having a first dimension and a second jack type having a second dimension greater than the first dimension, wherein the main body is flexible such that the opening structure matches the first dimension in a relaxed state and matches the second dimension in an expanded state. In some examples, the main body has deflectable latch members configured to engage with an opening structure configured to receive a third jack type.

Implantable medical devices have modular lead bores that are constructed from individual lead bore modules. A given modular lead bore utilizes the number of individual lead bore modules necessary for the particular implantable medical device. Each lead bore module has a lead bore passageway and a feedthrough passageway. An electrical contact is present within the lead bore passageway of each lead bore module and the electrical contact is aligned to the lead bore passageway of a lead bore module. Hermetic feedthrough assemblies are also present within the lead bore passageway of each lead bore module. A feedthrough pin passes through a hermetic feedthrough assembly within a feedthrough passageway of each lead bore module. Each feedthrough pin is electrically coupled to a corresponding electrical contact and the medical device circuitry.
