    Abstract: A portable electronic device may have a sealed connector secured within a device housing. The sealed connector may have a metal shell. A plastic contact housing may be insert molded within the shell. Conductive signal contacts may be laterally spaced in the contact housing. An elastomeric gasket may be assembled or compression molded onto the metal shell. Left and right metal brackets may be welded onto the metal shell to moisture-seal latch windows. A water-resistant sealing layer may be attached to the bottom plate of the metal shell to moisture-seal alignment rail windows. The sealed connector may be pressed against the device housing to place the gasket in a compressed state. The connector may be secured to the device housing by screwing down the metal brackets to a circuit board assembled within the housing while the gasket is in the compressed state.

    Abstract translation: 便携式电子设备可以具有固定在设备壳体内的密封连接器。 密封连接器可以具有金属外壳。 塑料接触外壳可以在外壳中嵌入成型。 导电信号触点可以在接触壳体中横向间隔开。 可以将弹性体垫圈组装或压塑在金属壳上。 左和右金属支架可以焊接到金属外壳上以防潮锁住窗口。 防水密封层可以附着在金属外壳的底板上以对准导轨窗口进行湿气密封。 密封的连接器可以被压靠在装置壳体上以将垫圈置于压缩状态。 当垫圈处于压缩状态时,连接器可以通过将金属支架拧到组装在壳体内的电路板而固定到装置外壳。

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to connector plugs and jacks and in particular to an audio connector plug and jack that can be used in place of the a standard low profile plug and electronic devices using low profile plug receptacles. The connector plug has a reduced plug length and thickness, an intuitive insertion orientation and a smooth, consistent feel when inserted and extracted from its corresponding receptacle connector. A portion or all of the plug connector may include a flexible material that allows the connector to bend with respect to an insertion axis along which the plug connector is designed to be inserted into a corresponding receptacle connector. A corresponding connector jack may be configured to receive the reduced length and thickness connector plug.
