A lever-type connector has a male housing (10) including a bottom wall (11) formed with through hole (23, 24) and a receptacle (12) extending forward from an outer periphery of the bottom wall (11). A female housing (30) is capable of fitting into the receptacle (12). A lever (33) is mounted on the female housing (30) and connects the male and female housings (10, 30) by being rotated from an initial position to a connection position. An arm (36) of the lever (33) is between an outer surface of the female housing (30) and an inner surface of the receptacle (12). First and second closing portions (40, 41) are on the arm (36) and are configured to close a clearance between an upper opening (13) of the receptacle (12) and the lever (33) by being above the through holes (23, 24) with the lever (33) at the connection position.

A magnetic connector assembly has a female connector with spring-loaded conductive pins slightly protruding inside a recess or cavity in the female connector's body. A corresponding male connector has a protrusion on its body with conductive pins slightly indented into the protrusion's surface. The protrusion on the male connector is sized and shaped to fit into the cavity in the female connector such that the male connector's pins engage the pins of the female connector, allowing for electrical communication across the connector assembly. Magnets on the male and female connectors secure them in a correct orientation. A unique shape ensures proper alignment of the pins and prevents the connection of incompatible devices.

A receptacle connector includes a housing defining a base and a mating tongue forwardly extending therefrom, a first row of contacts disposed in the housing with contacting sections and surface mount type tail sections for mounting on a PCB, a second row of contacts disposed in the housing with contacting sections and through hole type tail sections for mounting in the PCB; a metallic shield including a capsular segment surrounding the mating tongue to define a mating cavity and a rear wall covering a rear face of the base to surrounding the surface mount type tail sections and a lower bracket attached to the metallic shielding. The lower bracket is located upon a bottom side of the shield and includes a bottom wall, two sidewalls and a rear wall commonly surrounding the through hole type tail sections.

The present invention relates to a transmission device for a phase shifter and an actuator device for a phase shifter. The transmission device includes a support, a lead screw nut mechanism and an automatic locking device. The automatic locking device includes a shaft connector rotatably supported on the support and configured to be in transmission connection with a driven connector of a driving device; a locking connector which is in transmission connection with the shaft connector, is in transmission connection with the lead screw, has a locking element and is movable relative to the shaft connector and the lead screw; and a locking spring. When the driven connector is decoupled to the shaft connector, the locking spring biases the locking connector in a first position, in which the locking element engages a counter-locking element on the support. When the driven connector is decoupled to the shaft connector, the locking connector is moved by the driven connector to a second position, in which the locking element disengages the counter-locking element on the support. Calibration of the phase shifter may be saved when the driving device is replaced or repaired.

An apparatus for charging a wearable electronic device includes a first power terminal and a second power terminal to which predetermined voltage values are applied, respectively and a first ground terminal and a second ground terminal. The first power terminal and the first ground terminal are arranged in a first direction with respect to a first axis. The second power terminal and the second ground terminal are arranged in a second direction opposite to the first direction with respect to the first axis. The wearable electronic device is charged through the first power terminal and the first ground terminal when the wearable electronic device is placed on the apparatus in the first direction. The wearable electronic device is charged through the second power terminal and the second ground terminal when the wearable electronic device is placed on the apparatus in the second direction.

A connector for sealably engaging contacts therein and permitting reliable disengagement thereof includes a first unit having one or more elongated shafts. Each elongated shaft includes at least one first contact. The connector further includes a second unit having a body with one or more channels therein. Each channel includes at least one second contact. Each channel is configured to receive at least a portion of one of the elongated shafts therein to permit electrical connection of the one or more first contacts to the respective one or more second contacts. The second unit further includes an axial slit extending radially outwardly from each channel toward an outer surface of the body of the second unit. Each slit of the second unit is a circumferentially discontinuous portion of the channel configured to prevent the second unit from forming a constrictive belt around the one or more elongated shafts therein.

It is aimed to provide a connector capable of suppressing opening deformation of an operating member and avoiding enlargement. A U-shaped operating member (11) is arranged to straddle a housing (10) and is linearly movable from an initial position to a connection position while arms (37) slide on the housing (10) and proceeds with a connecting operation of the housing (10) and a mating housing (12) by cam engagement of the arms (37) with the mating housing (12) during a movement. The housing (10) includes support shafts (18) and the arms (37) include linearly extending long grooves (39) into which the support shafts (18) are inserted to be slidable in contact therewith. The support shaft (18) includes jaws (19) and the long groove (39) includes an engaging edge (44) configured to contact the jaws (19) in an opening direction of the arm (37).
