An electrical coupling transfers electrical signals between a camera head and a cable and comprises a first part associated with the camera head and a second part associated with the cable and connectable to the first part. The coupling establishes contact between connectors of the first and second parts. The first part comprises a first connection position for reception of the second part, and a second connection position for reception of the second part. The connectors of the first and second parts comprise dot shaped connectors and elongated connectors. One of the first and second parts comprise the dot shaped connectors, and the other one comprises the elongated connectors. Each dot shaped connector is associated with one of the elongated connectors, and the connectors are arranged such that each dot shaped connector connects with an associated elongated connector in both the first connection position and the second connection position.

The system includes, a printed electronic circuit having one or more conductive traces disposed on a flexible substrate The printed electronic circuit includes one or more magnetic couplers disposed on the flexible substrate. The system includes a magnetic connector having one or more magnets that each magnetically attach to a corresponding one of the one or more magnetic couplers The magnetic connector includes one or more spring-loaded pins each aligned with and electrically coupled to a corresponding one of the one or more conductive traces.

A coaxial tap in a hybrid fiber coaxial cable distribution system serves subscribers with an RF signal.

A connector seizure member for providing a connector with enhanced mechanical performance during assembly and/or operation may include a seizure member having a forward facing surface that includes an forward extending housing engaging portion that is configured to be received in an seizure member engaging portion in an inner wall of a first connector assembly portion before a second housing portion is threadedly coupled with the first connector assembly portion so as to prevent the seizure member from becoming marred or deformed by being rotating relative to the first connector assembly portion when the second housing portion is threadedly coupled with the first connector assembly portion and enhance mechanical performance of the connector during assembly and/or operation of the hardline connector.

In a slip ring 100, differential signal slip rings 70 are formed using a base substrate 30 where an electrode pattern and a relative permittivity are optimized to transmit a signal by using one differential signal slip ring 70 to one differential signal cable 60a. Consequently, a low voltage differential signal of 0.35V adopted in video signals of 4K resolution can be transmitted while the camera is continuously rotated through 360 degrees.

An F-male port includes a nut with internal threads that are configured to provide a mechanical fit and lock of the F-male port with an F-female port. The F-male port further includes a mating interface having an insert with an angled surface, wherein the mating interface is adaptable to differentials in surfaces of mated F-female ports. The F-male port also includes a nut retainer configured to hold the nut in place, wherein when the nut is torqued down, force is applied to the nut retainer and the nut retainer pulls the front of the insert with it to create a mechanical contact between the F-female port and the insert.

A connector unit includes a connector mounting member having a mounting hole, and a connector passed through the mounting hole and attached to the connector mounting member. The connector includes a terminal portion to which another connector is configured to be connected, and a hook portion engaged with an edge portion of the mounting hole. The connector mounting member includes a panel portion on which the mounting hole is formed, an extending portion extending from the panel portion along an inserting direction of the another connector with respect to the connector, and a regulating portion projected from the extending portion at a position abutting against or close to an end portion opposite to the terminal portion of the connector in the inserting direction. A distance between the regulating portion and the panel portion is shorter than a distance between the terminal portion of the connector and the end portion.

The system includes a magnetic connector having one or more magnets that each magnetically attach to a corresponding one of the one or more magnetic couplers The magnetic connector includes one or more spring-loaded pins each aligned with and electrically coupled to a corresponding one of the one or more conductive traces.

A waterproof circular connector includes a male head, a female seat and a ring member. The male head provides a first circular body, a third circular body, a first electrode group and a third electrode group. The female seat provides a first base, a second circular body, a fourth circular body, a second base, a second electrode group and a fourth electrode group. The male header is combined with the female seat. The third circular body is inserted between the second and fourth circular bodies, so that the third electrode group is electrically connected to the second electrode group and the first electrode group is electrically connected to the fourth electrode group. The first, second, third and fourth electrode groups are combined with the third circular body by the ring member to prevent water and dust entering from the outside and realize non-directional electrical connections.

An image capturing apparatus capable of suppressing an increase in the handling size thereof in a state in which cables are connected thereto. The image capturing apparatus is provided with a connection terminal section on a rear side of an image capturing apparatus body. The connection terminal section includes a plurality of first connector arrangement surfaces and first external connection terminals provided on the first connector arrangement surfaces, respectively. The first connector arrangement surfaces are arranged at respective locations not overlapping each other as viewed from a front-rear direction of the image capturing apparatus body and overlapping each other as viewed from a vertical direction of the image capturing apparatus body and are arranged such that the first connector arrangement surfaces face obliquely downward toward the rear of the image capturing apparatus body.
