A connector device produces a connection by means of Single Pair Ethernet (SPE). The connector device includes at least one connection element for an SPE connection, a light source for generating a light emission, and a light-guide element. The light source is set up to couple the generated light emission into the light-guide element, and the light-guide element is set up to couple an output-light distribution out in a coupling-out area.

The present disclosure discloses a plug connector including an insulating housing, a number of plug terminals and a cable. The insulating housing includes a width direction extending along a left-and-right direction. The plug terminals are retained by the insulating housing and arranged in two rows in the width direction of the insulative housing. The plug terminals of each row are arranged in an upper-and-lower direction and spaced away from each other in the upper-and-lower direction. Each plug terminal extends along a front-and-back direction. The cable includes a number of core wires correspondingly and electrically connected with the plug terminals. A connector assembly including the plug connector and the mated socket connector is also disclosed in the present disclosure.

The present disclosure discloses a socket connector including an insulating base and a number of socket terminals. The insulating base includes an outer plastic frame defining a receiving channel and an inner plastic block received in the receiving channel. The inner plastic block includes two sidewalls opposite to each other in a left-and-right direction. The socket terminals are arranged in two rows by positioning symmetrically and respectively on the two sidewalls of the inner plastic block. The socket terminals of each row are arranged in an upper-and-lower direction and spaced away from each other in the upper-and-lower direction. Each socket terminal extends along a front-and-back direction perpendicular to both the left-and-right direction and the upper-and-lower direction. A connector assembly including the socket connector and the mated plug connector is also disclosed in the present disclosure.

A switched power receptacle that can be programmed to provide power for a user-selected duration in a user-selected cycle. The invention can be plugged into a conventional receptacle, extension cord, or other source of power. One or more user inputs and displays are provided so that the user can program the cycle for switching on the power (once every 2 days, once every 7 days, etc.). One or more user inputs are provided so that the user can select the duration of activation for each cycle (1 hour, 3 hours, etc.). Status indicators are preferably provided so that the user can easily monitor the operation of the device.

Disclosed is a device comprises: a moving block configured to have an inner space open toward one side, and to be capable of moving in forward direction toward a holder, formed on a connector jig, and in backward direction; a matching box, movably mounted in the moving block to be movable, of which shape is such that its movement in the forward direction is blocked by a part of a TPA connector seated in the holder if the part protrudes from the connector surface; and a contact switch configured to change its electrical state when the matching box moves, relative to the moving block, at a predetermined interval in the backward direction, wherein the moving block is configured to move further in the forward direction by at least the predetermined interval even in a state in which the matching box cannot move in the first direction.

A charging cable is provided having a charging plug for electrically driven motor vehicles. A method for its operation is also provided.

An electrical mating system can include a first connector having a plurality of first contacts, and a second connector having a plurality of second contacts. Each one of the first contacts can pair with one of the second contacts so that they provide electrical conduction between pairs of contacts when the first connector is properly mated to the second connector. At least one of the first contacts or first connector and/or one of the second contacts and the second connector can be sized and configured such that an open circuit occurs across a specific one of the pairs of contacts when the first connector is improperly mated to the second connector.

A charge port illumination system includes, among other things, a first charge port assembly having a charge port, a courtesy lamp assembly configured to selectively activate to illuminate the charge port, and indicators each configured to selectively activate to illuminate and indicate a state of charge of a traction battery. The system further includes a microcontroller that selectively activates the courtesy lamp assembly and selectively activates the plurality of indicators of the first charge port assembly.

A medical electrical equipment power tap has multiple sockets and a power cord with a maximum current rating. The power tap includes a display to indicate information related to an instantaneous current draw of the power tap. The power tap also includes an electrical circuit which determines whether the instantaneous current draw exceeds a predetermined maximum allowed current which is less than the maximum current rating. The display provides a visual indication when the power tap's current draw exceeds the maximum allowed value, signifying that at least one item of medical electrical equipment should be unplugged from the power tap. The electrical circuit includes a current loop which passes through a structural portion of the power tap's housing for independently gauging the instantaneous current draw using a clamp probe.

The industrial electrical connector is composed of an upper housing portion for holding a conductor and a lower housing portion for holding at least one contact carrier, which lower housing portion can be releasably connected to the upper housing portion. The contact carrier holds at least one contact. The contact is intended to establish a connection to a corresponding mating contact for the transfer of at least electrical energy and/or electrical signals/data. At least one fuse holder for holding at least one electrical fuse is arranged within the industrial electrical connector.
