Power connector with integrated status monitoring
An electronic power connector. The electronic power connector includes at least one contact configured to electrically connect a power supply to a load, an insulating sleeve, and an electronic assembly. The insulating sleeve includes a sensor slot configured to receive a sensor and is configured to receive the at least one contact. The electronic assembly including a transformer winding configured to receive the at least one contact and sense a current.
CONNECTOR
A connector includes a first connector housing, a second connector housing, and a first capacitor. The first connector housing includes a first connection terminal connected with a frame ground pattern, and a first capacitor connection part located closer to a plug housing connection part than a top face of the first connector housing. The second connector housing includes a transformer or a common mode choke coil, a second connection terminal connected with a signal ground pattern, and a second capacitor connection part located closer to the second connection terminal than the position where the transformer or the common mode choke coil is placed. The first capacitor connects the first capacitor connection part with the second capacitor connection part.
Connector and power supply system
A connector to be applied to a power supply system includes: a first connector main body having a first power transmission coil, a first signal transmission coil, and a first case; and a second connector main body having a second power transmission coil, a second signal transmission coil, and a second case. In the first connector main body and the second connector main body, the first case and the second case are relatively rotatable about a rotation axis along a fitting direction with a positional relation that the first power transmission coil and the second power transmission coil are opposed to each other and the first signal transmission coil and the second signal transmission coil are opposed to each other in a state in which the first case and the second case are mutually fitted.
METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR COMPENSATING FOR ALIEN CROSSTALK BETWEEN CONNECTORS
The present invention relates to methods and systems for minimizing alien crosstalk between connectors. Specifically, the methods and systems relate to isolation and compensation techniques for minimizing alien crosstalk between connectors for use with high-speed data cabling. A frame can be configured to receive a number of connectors. Shield structures may be positioned to isolate at least a subset of the connectors from one another. The connectors can be positioned to move at least a subset of the connectors away from alignment with a common plane. A signal compensator may be configured to adjust a data signal to compensate for alien crosstalk. The connectors are configured to efficiently and accurately propagate high-speed data signals by, among other functions, minimizing alien crosstalk.
Directional in-line suspended PCB power sensing coupler
An in-line suspended power sensor coupling configuration situated within a high frequency transmission line housing that allows forward, reverse, and sampling voltage elements to all be produced simultaneously on one double sided printed circuit board (PCB). The power sensor coupling allows for calibrated coupling responses across a much wider frequency range with a single PCB assembly, as opposed to the need to cover equivalently sized frequency ranges with multiple individually fabricated coupling element assemblies.
CONNECTOR
A connector includes a plurality of conductors, a magnetic core, and a housing, the housing includes a housing member that is provided with a housing chamber that houses the plurality of conductors and the magnetic core, an abutment surface on which a core assembling portion abuts, and an opening that is arranged to face the abutment surface at an interval and exposes the core assembling portion housed in the housing chamber outward, the core assembling portion being composed of the respective intermediate portions of the plurality of conductors and the magnetic core housed in the housing chamber; a cover member that closes the opening; and a pressing member that is sandwiched between the cover member and the core assembling portion by pressing the core assembling portion to push the core assembling portion against the abutment surface when the housing member and the cover member are in an assembled state.
Asymmetrical quadrature hybrid coupler
An apparatus is disclosed for an asymmetrical quadrature hybrid coupler. In an example aspect, an apparatus comprises a quadrature hybrid coupler. The quadrature hybrid coupler comprises a shared port, a through port, a coupled port, and an isolated port. The quadrature hybrid coupler also comprises at least one transformer, which comprises a first inductor and a second inductor. The first inductor is connected between the shared port and the coupled port. The second inductor is connected between the isolated port and the through port. The second inductor is directly connected to the isolated port. An inductance of the first inductor is different from an inductance of the second inductor.
ACCESSORY DEVICE FOR AN ELECTRONIC DEVICE
Electronic devices and accessory devices for electronic devices are described. In some instances, an accessory device includes a keyboard and a cover rotatable with respect to the keyboard. In some instances, an accessory device includes a back panel and a foldable cover rotatable with respect to the back panel. These accessory devices may include several magnetic elements designed to magnetically couple with, and retain, an electronic device without any additional mechanical or other interlocking devices. In this regard, the magnetic elements in the accessory devices provide an external magnetic field sufficiently strong enough to retain the electronic device, and can counter gravitational forces and/or the weight of the electronic device. However, some accessory devices include additional magnetic elements that provide an external magnetic field that repels magnetic elements in the electronic device. Also, the magnetic elements may also be used to hold different sections of the accessory device together.
