A case for a mobile device includes a flexible covering defining a cavity for receiving and holding the mobile device; a rigid frame at least partially disposed within the flexible covering; and an adapter disposed at least partially within the rigid frame and the flexible covering, the adapter including first contacts, a male plug extending into the cavity, and second contacts disposed on the male plug and electrically coupled to the first contacts; where the adapter, in combination with at least one of the flexible covering or the rigid frame, defines a first male structure extending away from the cavity, where the first contacts of the adapter are disposed on the first male structure. Another case includes at least the flexible covering and adapter and also includes a female connector electrically coupled to the second contacts and having an opening disposed on the first male structure.

The disclosed inventive concept provides an electrically conductive mechanical vibration isolator for providing an electrical path between parts of a vehicle in order to alleviate the need for ground straps. The conductive isolator disclosed herein includes an inner shell, an outer shell, an elastomer disposed therebetween, and a conductor interconnecting the inner and outer shells to create an electrical path therebetween. In one embodiment, the conductor is at least one conducting wire having opposite ends electrically bonded to the inner and outer shells. In another embodiment, the elastomer may comprise a plurality of conductive particulates distributed throughout the elastomer. In yet another embodiment the elastomer may include at least one channel formed therein and extending between the inner and outer shells for storing a conductive liquid therein. The conductive liquid is contained between the shells and provides an electrical path therebetween.

A connector is to be joined to a mating connector. The connector includes a terminal fitting including an electrical connection portion to be connected to a mating terminal of the mating connector, a housing including an insertion hole, the electrical connection portion inserted through the insertion hole and a rear holder attached to the housing such that the rear holder presses and holds the terminal fitting against the housing. The housing includes a reference surface to restrict the electrical connection portion, with a portion of the terminal fitting abutting the reference surface, from being further inserted into the insertion hole. The rear holder includes a pressing pin to press, when the rear holder is attached to the housing, the terminal fitting from a rear side of the terminal fitting such that the pressing pin is partially and plastically deformed and the terminal fitting is pressed against the reference surface.

A double-ended socket system for safely and easily seating a double-ended lamp is disclosed. The system has two socket assemblies spaced a distance corresponding to the length of a double-ended lamp. Each socket assembly has a housing with a recess that houses a cylindrical socket for receiving a lamp end that rotates between a disengaged orientation and an engaged orientation. The housing has an attached electrical connector connected to a power source. The socket has another attached electrical connector that contacts the electrical connector of the housing only when the socket is rotated to the engaged orientation, thus eliminating the electrical shock hazard of conventional double-ended socket systems. The lamp may be removed only while in the disengaged orientation. A user may install a double-ended lamp into the socket system by use of only one hand. A method of use of a double-ended socket system is also disclosed.

The present invention relates to an electronic device and an antenna connector. The electronic device includes a first unit, a transmission dock, a base, and an antenna connector. The transmission dock is pivotally provided at the first unit. The base is movably provided at the transmission dock, and includes a top plate and a bottom plate that are mutually fixed. The antenna connector is movably provided at the base, and includes a housing, an installation flange, a central moving terminal and an elastic member. The central moving terminal is located in the housing. The installation flange is radially formed outside the housing, and is located between the top plate and the bottom plate and abuts against the top plate. The elastic member is clamped between the installation flange and the bottom plate.
