A power adapter and an electronic device assembly including the power adapter are provided. The power adapter includes an adapter body, prongs, and a cover. The adapter body has a first end surface. The prongs are exposed at the first end surface of the adapter body. The cover is movably connected with the adapter body, and the cover has a second end surface. When the cover is in a closed state, the prongs are covered, and the second end surface is away from the adapter body. When the cover is in an open state, the first end surface and the second end surface cooperatively form a plugging surface of the power adapter.

A socket, connectable to a plug-in device, wherein the plug-in device is a bushing and/or a plug-in cable termination, is described. The socket includes a current conduction path and a field control unit. The field control unit includes a layer arrangement with at least three conductive layers arranged around the current conduction path and separated by an insulating material

A cable connector assembly includes a contact holder holding first and second contacts in contact channels terminated to ends of conductors of a cable. The contacts have mating ends forward of the front of the contact holder. The cable connector assembly includes a contact shield coupled to the contact holder having a base and a shroud. The base surrounds a base chamber that receives an end of the cable and the contact holder and provides electrical shielding at first and second interfaces. The shroud surrounds a shroud chamber that receives the mating ends of the first and second contacts to provide electrical shielding along the mating ends of the first and second contacts.

A convertible force latching system includes two complementary connector bodies. Each connector body has a first mating face under which two series of magnets oriented alternating directions. A moving portion of the latching system allows the connector bodies and the magnets within to alter their alignment by the interaction of a user along a predetermined motion path. In a first arrangement, the series of magnets are aligned with such that the magnets of one connector body are attracted to the magnets of the other connector body. When the user actuation shifts the moving portion, the second arrangement positions the series of magnets such that they are aligned such that the magnets of one connector body are repelled to the magnets of the other connector body.

A product distribution splitter has a main body circumscribed by a plurality of sidewalls with an electric input port extending from one of the sidewalls for receiving high wattage electrical power from an electrical power source and electrical power reduction means in the form of an IC electrical circle board for receiving the high wattage electrical power and outputting lower wattage electrical power. A cavity is located through another of the sidewalls, the cavity containing electrical conductive prongs which extend from the IC electrical circle board. The prongs receive the lower wattage electrical power and can output this power to a second PDS. Electrical wiring connected to the electrical circle board extends through a third sidewall and is attached to an electrical connector for transmitting the lower wattage electrical power to electrical circuitry.

The present disclosure discloses a connector module with improved convenience in use and durability. To achieve the above-described object, the connector module according to the present disclosure has at least one receptacle and a receiving groove having an inner space of a predetermined depth, is configured to be connected to an external connector module provided in an external device, and is provided in an internal device, and the connector module includes at least one plug configured to be coupled to the receptacle for electrical connection with the receptacle, a coupling part including a coupling guide rib wherein the coupling guide rib extends toward the external connector module, is inserted into the receiving groove when the external connector module is connected to the connector module, and is configured to guide a coupling position of the connector module, and a fastening part coupled to the coupling part such that the coupling part moves in a predetermined distance range and configured such that a portion of the fastening part is fixed to the internal device.

Thermal mitigation features may be included in a Universal Serial Bus (USB) cable assembly or in the USB receptacle portion of a device. In one aspect, one or both ends of a USB cable jacket may have greater thermal conductivity than the portion between them. The portion having the greater thermal conductivity may dissipate excess heat from the cable into the environment. In another aspect, a USB cable connector or the USB receptacle portion of a device may include a thermoelectric heat pump. The thermoelectric heat pump may move excess heat from the cable assembly or receptacle into a portion of the cable assembly or device that dissipates the heat into the environment.
