Aspects of the disclosure relate to devices, systems, and methods for connecting or removing one or more interposer assemblies from a controller, replacing a used interposer assembly with a new interposer assembly, and connecting or removing a medical device from such an interposer assembly. The one or more interposer assemblies for connecting the medical device to a controller may comprise a housing defining a front-facing socket for removably receiving a connector of the medical device, and at least one electrical connector on a rear face of the housing, the at least one electrical connector for removable connection to the controller.

An electrical plug is provided. The electrical plug includes a body and a retention device. The body includes a first casing and a second casing. The second casing is pivotally connected to one side of the first casing and can rotate to make one of its ends away from one end of the first casing. The first casing and the second casing form a body inner space together. At least a portion of the retention device can rotate along the same direction as the second casing rotates.

A connector 10 includes a terminal fitting 11, a housing 12, a seal member 13 and a mounting member 14. The terminal fitting 11 is connected to a wire 80. The seal member 13 includes a seal hole 52 through which the wire 80 is passed in a liquid-tight manner. The mounting member 14 holds the seal member 13 by sandwiching the seal member 13 between the housing 12 and the mounting member 14. The mounting member 14 is in contact with the seal member 13 and movably mounted on the housing 12.

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a board, a first latch mechanism, and an expansion card. A controller is disposed on the board. The first latch mechanism is disposed on the board. The first latch mechanism is electrically connected to the controller. The expansion card is plugged in the first latch mechanism and disposed over the board. The expansion card is electrically connected to the controller through the first latch mechanism. The controller determines a connecting condition of the first latch mechanism according to a connecting signal provided by the expansion card.

A connector includes: half body parts each including a connector body, and a plurality of terminals attached to the body; end parts formed on both ends of the body formed by allowing the bodies to abut each other; and reinforcing brackets attached to the respective end parts. Each of the bodies is a member integrated with the terminals by primary insert molding, and includes a protrusion extending in the longitudinal direction and holding the terminals, and an embedded part connected to both ends in the longitudinal direction of the protrusion. The end part includes a covering part covering at least the embedded part of each of the bodies, and the covering part is a member integrated with the embedded part and the bracket by secondary insert molding. The connector allows for the spacing between protrusions to be narrowed, simplifying manufacturing, reducing size, and improving reliability.

The invention generally provides a connector recording system or platform that includes a recording system designed to interact with a connector system to read an indicia and then transfer, store, and display information associated with the positioning of the connector system in the installed component or device. The connector system includes a male housing assembly, a female housing assembly coupled to the male housing assembly in a connected state, and a connector position assurance assembly with the indicia and a locking member that is movable between locked and unlocked positions. In the locked position, the locking member secures the male housing assembly to the female housing assembly and the indicia can be read by the scanner to signal that the connector position assurance assembly is in the locked position. In the unlocked position, the indicia is in a state that does not allow the scanner to obtain information from the indicia.

Miniaturized electrical connector systems are disclosed herein. In exemplary aspects disclosed herein, the connector system includes a twinaxial female connector having a housing and at least one dielectric positioned therein. The at least one dielectric defines two parallel channels configured to receive at least a portion of two conductors of a twinaxial cable. The twinaxial female connector includes an oval interface configured to orient and align the conductors of the twinaxial cable with mating pins of a male connector. The twinaxial female connector further includes two spring-type interconnects positioned within the oval interface, each configured to directly contact a conductor of the twinaxial cable and a mating pin of the male connector. The twinaxial female connector further includes a retaining clip attached to an exterior of the housing with a lever arm biased towards and pivotable from an engaged orientation. Such features reduce the manufacturing complexity, cost, and overall size.

A connector assembly is provided. The connector assembly includes a socket to receive a plug and having an electrical contact. The connector assembly further includes a flexible fabric embedded with a pattern of electrically conductive elements and spanning the socket to conceal the electrical contact. The flexible fabric can deform toward the electrical contact of the socket to cause at least a portion of the pattern to contact the electrical contact.

An electrical plug connector includes a metallic shell, an insulated housing in the metallic shell, plug terminals held in the insulated housing, and a hook member. Hook portions of the hook member extend into the insertion cavity of the insulated housing. Each hook portion forms a first positioning portion and a second positioning portion. When the electrical plug connector is mated with an electrical receptacle connector, the electrical plug connector can be positioned with the electrical receptacle connector through multiple contacts, thereby preventing the electrical plug connector from shaking.
