The plurality of electrical contacts secured across the wall of the housing are the only electrical contacts of the electrical connector. Each of the plurality of electrical contacts includes a mating interface and the mating interface of each of the plurality of electrical contacts is co-planer. Additionally, the housing includes a card slot opening and each of the plurality of electrical contacts are arranged on one side of the card slot opening.

Provided are a receptacle connector configured to avoid damage to conductors of the receptacle connector. The receptacle connector includes a plurality of connection terminals, a mold structure which comprises a front part exposing each of the connection terminals and a support part disposed on a rear end of the front part and surrounding each of the connection terminals, and a shield which is disposed on the support part and comprises a conductive material, wherein the support part comprises a flat part which includes a surface along which the shield extends and a protruding part which protrudes from the surface of the flat part and is disposed in front of a front end of the shield. The protruding part is configured to avoid damage to conductors of the receptacle when a plug is mated to the receptacle.

The disclosed multimedia devices may include an elongated first body comprising a major longitudinal axis between a proximal end and a distal end, a second body comprising at least one electrical connector accessible from a surface of the second body, wherein the second body is configured to rotate about the major longitudinal axis of the elongated first body, and an electrical coupling configured to maintain an electrical connection between a circuit of the elongated first body and the at least one electrical connector when the second body is rotated. Various other devices, systems, and methods are also disclosed.

According to various embodiments, there is provided a user input device including: a chassis including a socket configured to releasably receive a panel; a memory storing a plurality of button maps, wherein each button map of the plurality of button maps defines functions of at least one button of a respective panel of a plurality of panels, each of which being receivable in the socket; and a processor configured to read an identity code of the received panel, and further configured to identify a matching button map from the plurality of button maps based on the identity code, wherein the matching button map defines the functions of the at least one button of the received panel.

Connecting structures to mechanically connect to a connector receptacle tongue and a printed circuit board and to electrically connect contacts on the connector receptacle tongue to traces on the printed circuit board. One example may provide an interposer having a housing and a plurality of contacts to connect a vertical tongue to a horizontal printed circuit board. The contacts may have a side or tongue connecting portion extending beyond a side of the housing and a bottom or board contacting portion extending beyond a bottom of the housing. The contacts may form a ninety-degree bend. A shield may at least substantially surround a vertical side of the housing.

A docking station a first connector, a post, and a pop-out cover. The first connector is mounted to float within a first opening of a case of the docking station. The post is in physical communication with the case. The post provides a first alignment between the first connector and a second connector of an information handling system. The pop-out cover is in physical communication with the case and the post. The pop-out cover is biased in a first alignment stage, and transitions from the first alignment stage to a second alignment stage in response to a force exerted on the pop-out cover by a weight of the information handling system. The first connector is joined with the second connector in response to pop-out cover being placed in the second alignment stage.

There is provided an electronic device includes a terminal port disposed at a side surface of a casing, and a cap for covering the terminal port in an openable and closable manner, wherein the cap includes a fitting portion for fitting into the terminal port, a pressing surface exposed on the side surface of the casing, and a cap-turning support configured to support the cap in the openable and closable manner with respect to the terminal port, the pressing surface of the cap is perpendicular to a fitting direction of the cap into the terminal port, and a portion located above and/or below the terminal port in the side surface of the casing constitutes a first protrusion configured to outwardly protrude in an arc-like shape from the side surface of the casing more than the pressing surface in a state where the cap is closed.

Circuits, apparatus, and methods that provide a connector system that can supply both power and data to a mobile computing or other type of device using a single connection. Further examples also provide a power and data adapter that can provide power and data to a mobile computing device using a single cable. Further examples provide an easy disengagement when a cable connected to the connector is pulled. One such example provides a magnetic connector that uncouples without binding when its cord is pulled. Another example prevents power from being provided at a connector insert until the connector insert is placed in a connector receptacle.

A USB Type C connector port adapts to support docking solutions with enhanced power transfer features, including increased power transfer levels supported through a guide pin and connector interface, rapid power transfer configuration changes by applying pre-negotiated power settings, external battery charge and discharge at an information handling system with improved efficiency accomplished by transitioning voltage between native and boosted levels responsive to information handling system load, and robust connector port coupling in a cavity of a connector shell.
