This invention is an active cable or cables with a female micro USB or other connector recessed at the rear end of the HDMI plug for connecting external power when needed. The recessed connector is connected to an internal circuitry that combines this external power with the power from the source or sink device via a straight or “OR” circuits. This design is clean when no external power is needed because there're no dangling pigtails with USB plugs. When external power is needed because the source or sink devices can't provide enough current, the user can use for example widely available male micro USB to male USB cable (the standard charging cable for most Android phones and many other computer or phone accessories) or other cable to get external power, and the cable length can be selected to fit the application.

A connector consisting of a body, a first slot, a second slot, a first terminal, and a second terminal is disclosed. The first slot is provided on the body to receive a first printed circuit board (PCB). The second slot is provided on the body to receive a second PCB. The first slot and the second slot are separate and distinct slots. When the first PCB and the second PCB are received in the first slot and the second slot, respectively, the first terminal electrically connects the first PCB and the second PCB, and the second terminal connects to only the second PCB. Providing the first slot on the connector allows adding expansion cards, control cards, and the like to enhance functionality of computing systems.

A connection apparatus includes: a housing case, where the housing case includes a first side face and a second side face that are intersected and disposed adjacent to each other; a first connector, disposed on the first side face and configured to be connected to a connector of a first line card, so that the connection apparatus is orthogonally connected to the first line card; and a second connector, disposed on the second side face and connected to the first connector. The second connector is configured to be connected to a connector of a network board. The connection apparatus can improve a capacity of the communications device.

An electronics housing includes: a housing body; and a printed circuit board. The housing body has a connecting device for connecting a conductor, in particular a shield conductor, of a cable to the printed circuit board. The connecting device has a receiving body in which a receiving space with an opening for the conductor is formed. A cover for the opening is provided and is movable between an open position, in which the cover opens the opening for inserting an uninsulated conductor section of the conductor into the receiving space, and a closed position, in which the cover closes the opening at least in sections. The receiving body of the connecting device is disposed such that the printed circuit board is arrangeable with at least one contact section in the receiving space, and, in a closed position, the cover presses the uninsulated conductor section.

A connection structure comprises a cable and a connection object. The cable includes two wires and an insulation body which covers and binds the two wires. The insulation body includes two coverings which cover the wires, respectively. The connection object comprises a base portion and a pressing member. The base portion has a catch portion and a cable-holding portion. The cable has a held section and a pressed section. The held section is held by the cable-holding portion. The pressed section is sandwiched and pressed between the pressing member and the catch portion in an upper-lower direction (Z-direction). The insulation body of the pressed section includes a coupling strip. The coupling strip couples the two coverings to each other in a lateral direction (Y-direction).

Disclosed is a data cable connector for a field device of process automation, wherein the data cable connector has a field device part and a data cable part. The field device part includes one or more magnetically activated switches. The data cable part includes a magnet. The field device is configured to determine from the states of the magnetically activated switches whether the data cable part is connected with the field device part, and if so, in what orientation. Based on the states of the magnetically activated switches, the field device may enable and disable communication circuits within the field device including any PHY circuits and modems.

A connection device for electrical connection of a vehicle to a charging cord provided with a charging socket is presented herein. The connection device includes a housing, at least a first and a second power contact disposed within the housing. Each power contact has a front section disposed in a front part of the housing which extends in a connection base and a rear section disposed in a rear part of the housing which extends in a direction substantially parallel to a direction of connection of the charging socket. The connector device also includes a printed circuit board mounted in the rear part of the housing. The printed circuit board extends in a plane substantially parallel to the direction of connection. The printed circuit board has a first face provided with a first metal pad which is compressed between the printed circuit board, an axial surface of the rear section of the first power contact, and a second face provided with a first temperature sensor which is arranged opposite the first metal pad.

The present application provides an adaptor, the adaptor includes a plug, a signal extension cord and an adaptor body; the signal extension cord is in an L shape, and one end of the signal extension cord is connected to a sidewall of a tail end of the plug, the other end of the signal extension cord is connected to the adaptor body, such that the plug, the signal extension cord and the adaptor body are integrally formed a U-shaped structure, and when the adaptor is configured to be plugged into a communication interface of an electronic device, the adaptor body is configured to be located on a back side of the electronic device. The present application provides an adaptor, which has a function of curved structure, and improves the user experience when holding the electronic device.

A slipring device includes a first part and a second part rotatable against each other. Both parts include housings with slipring components. A first housing at the first part has a hollow shaft with a bayonet lock notch to engage with a locking ring having at least one bayonet lock protrusion. The locking ring can easily be attached by a bayonet lock to lock the first part and the second part together.

A pluggable module includes an outer housing having a cavity between an upper wall and a lower wall. A circuit card is received in the cavity having a card edge configured to be received in a card slot of a communication connector. A circuit card holder engages the circuit card and holds the circuit card in the cavity of the outer housing. The circuit card holder includes a locating fin at a top of the circuit card holder. The locating fin has a sacrificial upper edge configured to engage the outer housing to locate the circuit card holder and the circuit card in the cavity. The sacrificial upper edge is deformed when engaging the outer housing to press the circuit card holder and the circuit card in a downward biasing direction.
