JOINT CONNECTOR
A joint connector includes a circuit board that is located behind a back wall of the connector housing through a component space, an independent male terminal jointed to the circuit board, and a joint terminal. The joint terminal includes a bridge portion fixed to the connector housing, a plurality of male terminal portions conducted to each other and protruding into a fitting space of the connector housing to serve as connector terminals, and one contact conduction piece extending to a back of the back wall of the connector housing and elastically brought into conductive contact with one of the independent male terminals via a spring portion.
Modular device charging station
A modular device charging station connectible to a power source through a cable includes an input endcap defining a power connector slot and a plurality of input locator pins in a predefined layout. A cradle body is defined by a device receptacle, with an input side having a power connector socket connectible to the cable and defining one or more input side locator holes receptively engageable with the input locator pins. An output side A pass-through power connector plug and a plurality of output locator pins in the predefined layout are on an output side. A terminating endcap defines a plug pocket and a plurality of terminating-side locator holes in the predefined layout receptively engageable with the output locator pins. A charging circuit with a power signal input is connected to the power connector socket, and the pass-through power connector plug is electrically connected to the power connector socket.
Multi-port USB cable with cable retention and methods of making and using
A USB cable that includes a cable coupling element selected from a first connector, a printed circuit board, or a device, as well as a multi-port connector that includes a multi-port connector including a housing, at least two ports defined by the housing, at least two female USB connectors disposed within the housing, and at least two retention arms extending from the housing. The USB cable also includes conductors electrically coupling the first connector to the at least two female USB connectors and a jacket extending between the first connector and the multi-port connector, wherein the conductors are at least partially disposed within the jacket. In another USB cable, in addition to or as an alternative to the retention arms, each of the at least two female USB connectors is spaced at least 10 mm from the opening of the port through which the female USB connector is accessible.
