    Abstract: A plug connector module that includes a metal frame having a base portion, an insertion end and a cavity that extends from the base portion into the insertion end. The insertion end is configured to be inserted into a cavity of a corresponding receptacle connector. A substrate extends through the base portion of the frame and into the insertion end and has a plurality of contact bonding pads at one end positioned within the frame, a plurality of conductor bonding pads at the opposing end and at least one ground pad contact between the contact bonding pads and conductor bonding pads. A first plurality of external contacts is positioned in a first opening and bonded to some of the plurality of contact bonding pads on the substrate and a second plurality of contacts positioned within a second opening and bonded to some of the contact bonding pads on the substrate.

    Abstract: A dual orientation connector having a connector tab with first and second major opposing sides and a plurality of electrical contacts carried by the connector tab. The plurality of contacts includes a first set of external contacts formed at the first major side and a second set of external contacts formed at the second major side. The first plurality of contacts are symmetrically spaced with the second plurality of contacts and the connector tab is shaped to have 180 degree symmetry so that it can be inserted and operatively coupled to a corresponding receptacle connector in either of two insertion orientations.

    Abstract: Devices and methods of manufacture for improved connector plugs are provided herein. In one aspect, an exemplary connector plug comprises a shield shell having a proximal stepped-down portion and a boot member that fittingly receives the stepped-down proximal portion so that an outer surface of the distal shield shell and the boot member is about flush with a minimal or negligible space therebetween. In some embodiments, the shield shell comprises a separate front shield shell and a reduced profile rear shield shell welded together so as to provide the advantageous reduced profile and improved aesthetic appearance, while maintaining the structural integrity of the connector. In many embodiments, weld strength of the shield shells is improved by providing line-to-line contact between shield shells by using deflectable tabs and/or utilizing thermal expansion properties of one or both shield shells.

    Abstract: A stackable connector interface with magnetic retention for electronic devices and accessories can allow power and data to be transferred between one or more stacked connectors. Each interconnected stackable connector may include one or more magnetic elements, which magnetic elements may have poles arranged to facilitate mating with other stackable connectors. The magnetic elements may also provide a magnetic retention force that holds mated connectors in contact with each other. The connectors can also include connection detection circuitry for determining whether the connectors are mated with other connectors, thereby allowing the connectors to prevent live contacts from being exposed at an unmated surface of the connectors. In addition to connection detection circuitry, routing circuitry may also be included to determine how signals should be transferred between the interconnected stackable connectors and/or corresponding devices.

    Abstract: An unpolarized multiple orientation plug connector (100) having a connector tab with first and second major opposing sides and a plurality of electrical contacts (106(1)..106(8)) carried by the connector tab. The plurality of contacts includes a first set of external contacts (106(1)..106(8)) formed at the first major side and a second set of external contacts (106(1)..106(8)) formed at the second major side. Each individual contact (106(1)..106(8)) in the first plurality of contacts is electrically connected within the tab or body to a corresponding contact in the second plurality of contacts (106(1)..106(8)). The connector (100) further comprises at least a first pair of data contacts (106(2), 106(3)), an ID contact (106(8)) and a circuitry (108a, 108b) configured to participate in a handshaking algorithm that communicates the communication protocol used by the first pair of data contacts (106(2), 106(3)) over the ID contact (106(8)).
