Switched power over Ethernet connector
An arc prevention system including a jack having a receptacle, with the receptacle having an upper wall, a bottom wall, two opposing side walls and a back wall between the two opposing side walls, a sensor unit positioned on the back wall of the receptacle, where the sensor unit is positioned on the back wall of the receptacle such that the sensor unit engages a plug inserted into the receptacle.
Coaxial and cluster connector assemblies
The present disclosure relates to a coaxial connector assembly comprising a first connector and a second connector adapted to be connected with each other, and a locking mechanism adapted to lock and unlock a connection between the first connector and the second connector. The locking mechanism includes a first locking member having at least one elastic snap-fit element and a second locking member having a locking element adapted to be snap-fitly engaged with the at least one elastic snap-fit element. The first locking member is disposed on an outer periphery of the first connector, and the second locking member is disposed on an outer periphery of the second connector. The elastic snap-fit element is constructed as a cantilever that extends axially toward a direction remote from the second connector, so that it is movable between an unlocking position and a locking position along a radial direction. In the unlocking position, the elastic snap-fit element is pressed down, so that the elastic snap-fit element is disengaged from the locking element, and in the locking position, the elastic snap-fit element springs back to its initial state, so that the elastic snap-fit element is snap-fitly engaged with the lock element.
Terminating tool for terminating wires to a communication module; and methods
Aspects and techniques of the present disclosure relate to a tool capable of terminating two different jack types (i.e. communication modules). That is, two different jack types can be arranged and configured to sit in the tool with a termination device. The tool can be a dual-purpose tool that has a configuration that allows a user to terminate different style jacks by adding termination device that becomes a lacing fixture.
Electrical connector with increased conductive paths
An electrical connector includes an insulative housing having a mating cavity and a plurality of power contact pairs. Each power contact pair defines an upper contact set and a lower contact set, each one of the upper contact set and the lower contact set comprises a first contact unit and a second contact unit, each one of the first contact unit and the second contact unit has a retaining portion and at least one contacting portion extending from the retaining portion into the mating cavity. The retaining portions of the upper contact set are arranged in a height direction of the insulative housing with the contacting portions thereof arranged in a transverse direction of the insulative housing, the retaining portions of the lower contact set are arranged in the height direction with the contacting portions thereof arranged in the transverse direction.
Adaptor for converting a ball grid array interface into a pin interface
An electrical device that comprises a printed circuit board, which has a first mounting surface, a second mounting surface, a mounting edge, and a plurality of mounting pads on the first mounting surface and the second mounting surface, and an electrical component that has a ball grid array. The electrical device further comprises an adaptor, interposed between the mounting edge and the electrical component, and comprising a body, made of an electrically non-conductive material, and a plurality of electrical pins, made of an electrically conductive material and passing at least partially through the body of the adaptor. The first end of each one of the plurality of electrical pins is electrically directly mounted to a corresponding one of the spaced apart solder balls. The second end of each one of the plurality of electrical pins is electrically directly mounted to a corresponding one of the plurality of mounting pads.
Method and apparatus for conductive charging
A vehicle-charging apparatus has a vehicle part fixed on a vehicle having a housing holding a respective set of fixed concentric circular contacts, a movable robot part having a housing holding a respective set of recessed concentric circular contacts complementary to the vehicle contacts, and an engagement guard movable relative to the housing and vehicle contacts and between a lower position in which the vehicle contacts are protected or and an upper position in which the contacts of the vehicle part are uncovered. A spring urges the engagement guard into the lowered position and the robot part is raised when aligned underneath the vehicle part for pressing the contacts of the robot part up against the engagement guard to uncover the vehicle contacts and engage the contacts of the robot part upwardly with the contacts of the vehicle part.
Electrical connector in compliance with HDMI 2.1
An electrical connector complied with HDMI 2.1 including an insulating body, multiple terminals, and a metallic shell enclosing portions of the insulating body and the terminals is provided. The ten terminals includes a first terminal Data2+, a third terminal Data2−, a fifth terminal Data Shield, a seventh terminal Data0+, a ninth terminal Data0−, an eleventh terminal Data3 Shield, a thirteenth terminal CEC, a fifteenth terminal SCL, a seventeenth terminal DDC/CEC Ground, and a nineteenth terminal Hot Plug Detec1 arranged in an arrangement direction in sequence. The nine terminals includes a second terminal Data2 Shield, a fourth terminal Data1+, a sixth terminal Data1−, an eighth terminal Data0 Shield, a tenth terminal Data3+, a twelfth terminal Data3−, a fourteenth terminal Utility, a sixteenth terminal SDA, and an eighteenth terminal +5V Power arranged in an arrangement direction in sequence.
Connector receptacle with improved mating retention and release
A connector receptacle for connecting with a corresponding connector plug coupled with electrodes being used for performing EMG procedure on a patient is provided. The receptacle includes a first ball bearing pressing against a first end of a housing of the plug and, preferably, a second ball bearing pressing against a first end of the housing of the plug when the plug is connected to the receptacle for exerting a retention force against the plug. The first and the second ball bearings are pressed against the first and the second ends respectively by using a spring force generated, for example, by a retention band.
Electrical connector assembly including a rear insulative body having upper and lower wire receiving slots and a pair of metallic shields having engagement tabs
An electrical connector assembly includes a contact module having an upper part and a lower part stacked with each other. The upper part includes a front/outer upper unit and a rear/inner upper unit and the lower part includes a front/outer lower unit and a rear/inner lower unit. Each unit includes an insulative body and a plurality of contacts integrally formed with the insulative body via an insert-molding process. The insulative body includes a middle sector and a pair of side sectors. The contacts include side-band contacts retained in the middle sector and differential-pair contacts retained in the side sectors.
Connector using contact pressure obtained by press-fitting holding member into shell
A connector comprises two holding members, two terminal rows, a midplate and a shell. Each of the holding members is lightly press-fit into the shell. Each of the terminal rows has a plurality of terminals. The terminals of each of the terminal rows include a specific terminal. The specific terminal has an exposed portion. The exposed portion is, at least in part, exposed from the holding member in an up-down direction perpendicular to a pitch direction. The midplate has a receiving portion. The exposed portion is brought into contact with the receiving portion. One of the holding member and the shell is formed with at least one light press-fit portion. A position of the at least one light press-fit portion overlaps with a position of the exposed portion in a front-rear direction perpendicular to both the up-down direction and the pitch direction.
