An electrical connector assembly includes a first electrical contact device and a second electrical contact device. The first electrical contact device includes at least one first electrical contact and an actuator movable between a first position and a second position. The second electrical contact device includes at least one second electrical contact device and an interlock feature to engage the actuator when the actuator is in the first position. The actuator is in the first position when the first electrical contact is in electrical communication with a power source, and the actuator is in the second position when the electrical communication between the first electrical contact and the power source is disconnected. When the actuator is in the first position and the second electrical contact engage the first electrical contact, the interlock feature engages the actuator, thereby securing the first electrical contact device and the second electrical contact device against disconnection.

A connector assembly is provided, including a plug including a plug casing defining a housing, and a plug polarizing socket arranged in the housing; a base including a base casing configured to be assembled with the plug casing, the base casing including a base polarizing pin matching the plug polarizing socket and configured to fit together with the plug polarizing pin during assembly of the plug and base casings; and a snap-fitting component supported by the base polarizing pin and by the plug casing, and configured to be activated when the base polarizing pin is in an end of travel position in the housing of the plug casing.

Herein described are apparatuses and systems for facilitating alignment of computer component connectors. A package protector may include a body to at least partially surround an integrated circuit package of a circuit card when the package protector is mounted to the circuit card. The package protector may further include a guide pin component that extends from a side of the body, wherein the guide pin component is to be located adjacent to a header of the circuit card when the package protector is mounted to the circuit card, wherein a connector uses the guide pin component to align with the header via a guide pin.

Systems for adjusting power outputs of isolated electronic devices are described. A first connector including an external power pin and a field power pin connects an electronic device to a power supply. The first connector receives a first current level from the power supply at the external power pin, and a second current level from the power supply at the field power pin. A jumper block is configurable in a first position which electrically isolates the external power pin from the field power pin, and a second position which electrically couples the external power pin to the field power pin. The first position directs the first current level from the external power pin to a second connector, and the second position directs a combination of the first current level and the second current level from the external power pin and the field power pin to the second connector.

Various connector and sensor assemblies are described. In some embodiments, the connector and sensor assembly comprises a connector and a sensor assembly. The connector can have an opening that has a first surface and second surface that are opposite each other. The connector can have a plurality of retractable electrical connectors that extend from the first surface and a lock structure that is located on the second surface. The sensor assembly is comprised of a body portion and a proximal end. The proximal end has a top side and a bottom side. The top side includes a plurality of electrical contacts that is configured to interact with the plurality of retractable electrical connectors. The bottom side includes a key structure that is configured to interact with the lock structure in the connector.

A locking device for an electrical charging device of a motor vehicle, in particular an electric or hybrid vehicle. The locking device is equipped with a movable bolt element, which is provided for releasably locking a charging plug in a charging socket of the electrical charging device. In addition, the movable bolt element can be moved at least into the positions unlocked and locked. Furthermore, a motor-driven drive is realized, which is provided for moving the bolt element. According to the invention, the bolt element can be moved into a third self-locked position beyond the locked position, which can be reached by means of the drive and in which unlocking is impossible without the drive.

An apparatus is described. The apparatus includes an electronic component to be plugged into an electronic system. The electronic component includes a housing. The housing includes a jam. The jam is to push through a first opening in a bottom of the housing and a second opening in a surface when the first and second openings are at least partially aligned. The surface is a mechanical component of the electronic system that the electrical component is to slide upon when being plugged into the electronic system. The jam includes tooth edges to engage with an edge of the second opening.

An electrical connector assembly includes: a first module including a mounting plate and a plurality of first electrical connectors; a second module including a housing and a plurality of second electrical connectors; wherein the electrical connector assembly has a locking device including at least one first interlocking member disposed on the first module and at least one second interlocking member disposed on the second module, wherein one of the first interlocking member and the second interlocking member is provided with a protrusion, and the other of the first interlocking member and the second interlocking member is provided with a hole for receiving the protrusion, wherein one of the projection and the hole is elastically actuatable so as to lock or unlock the first module and the second module.
