Abstract: Un conector de orientación dual que tiene una saliente de conector con un primer y segundo lados opuestos principales y una pluralidad de contactos eléctricos llevados por la saliente de conector. La pluralidad de contactos incluye un primer conjunto de contactos externos formados en el primer lado principal y un segundo conjunto de contactos externos formados en el segundo lado principal. Cada contacto individual en la primera pluralidad de contactos se conecta eléctricamente dentro de la saliente o cuerpo a un contacto correspondiente en la segunda pluralidad de contactos. En algunas modalidades, los contactos en la primera y segunda pluralidades de contactos que están directamente opuestos entre sí se acoplan en conjunto. En algunas otras modalidades, los contactos en la primera y segunda pluralidades de contactos que se encuentran en relación en diagonal entre sí se acoplan en conjunto. La primera pluralidad de contactos se espacia simétricamente con la segunda pluralidad de contactos, y la saliente de conector se moldea para tener simetría de 180 grados a fin de que pueda insertarse y acoplarse de manera operativa a un conector de receptáculo correspondiente en cualquiera de dos orientaciones de inserción.

Abstract: A dual orientation connector has a connector tab 44 with first and second major opposing sides bearing two sets of electrical contacts. Each individual contact in the first plurality of contacts may be electrically connected within the tab or body to a corresponding contact in the second plurality of contacts. In some embodiments (eg Fig 11A) contacts in the first and second pluralities of contacts that are in a cater cornered relationship with each other are coupled together, so that the connector can be coupled either way up. In some other embodiments (eg Fig 9A), contacts in the first and second pluralities of contacts that are directly opposite each other are coupled together, and circuitry (150, Fig 17) detects which way up and switches as a result. Alternatively, one contact of the connector is used as an ID contact, and circuitry participates in a handshaking algorithm over this contact to establish a communication protocol (eg USB) to use over data contacts. Alternatively, power contacts can be intermingled with data contacts. Alternatively, a connector can be manufactured by soldering contacts to a PCB and overmoulding it. The connector may have a conductive frame (52, Fig 5A) around the tab, and may be built into a docking station (170, Fig 21).

Abstract: Ein Dual-Orientierungs-Steckverbinder mit einer Steckverbindernase mit ersten und zweiten gegenüberliegenden Hauptseiten und einer Vielzahl von elektrischen Kontakten, welche durch die Steckverbindernase getragen werden. Die Vielzahl von Kontakten umfasst einen ersten Satz von externen Kontakten, welche an der ersten Hauptseite gebildet werden, und einen zweiten Satz von externen Kontakten, welche an der zweiten Hauptseite gebildet werden. Jeder individuelle Kontakt in der ersten Vielzahl von Kontakten ist innerhalb der Nase oder des Körpers mit einem entsprechenden Kontakt in der zweiten Vielzahl von Kontakten elektrisch gekoppelt. In manchen Ausführungsformen sind die Kontakte in den ersten und zweiten Vielzahlen von Kontakten, die direkt gegenüberliegend sind, miteinander gekoppelt. In manchen anderen Ausführungsformen sind Kontakte in den ersten und zweiten Vielzahlen von Kontakten, die in einer diagonalen Beziehung zueinander sind, miteinander gekoppelt. Die erste Vielzahl von Kontakten ist mit der zweiten Vielzahl von Kontakten symmetrisch verteilt und die Steckverbindernase ist geformt, um eine 180°-Symmetrie zu haben, so dass es in eine entsprechenden Steckerbuchse in jeder der zwei Einführungsorientierungen eingeführt und mit dieser operativ gekoppelt werden kann.

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: An unpolarized multiple orientation plug connector (40) having a body (42), a connector tab coupled to and extending away from the body, the connector tab (44) including first and second surfaces, and a first plurality of external contacts (106(1)... 106(8)) carried by the tab at the first surface and a second plurality of contacts carried by the tab at the second surface. Each individual contact in the first plurality of contacts is electrically connected within the tab or body to a corresponding contact in the second plurality of contacts. The connector tab has width, height and length dimensions and includes a conductive frame (52) that defines a shape of the connector tab, the conductive frame having first and second opposing sides (44a, 44b) extending in the width and length dimensions, and third and fourth opposing sides (44c, 44d) extending between the first and second sides in the height and length dimensions, the first side including a first opening (46a) surrounding the first plurality of contacts and the second side including a second opening (46b) directly opposite the first opening and surrounding the second plurality of contacts.

Abstract: A first electronic device connects with an second electronic device. The first electronic device may include a first connection surface and an inductive power transfer receiving coil and a first magnetic element positioned adjacent to the first connection surface. The second electronic device may similarly include a second connection surface and an inductive power transfer transmitting coil and second magnetic element positioned adjacent to the second connection surface. In the aligned position, alignment between the electronic devices may be maintained by magnetic elements and the inductive power coils may be configured to exchange power. The magnetic elements and/or the inductive power coils may include a shield that is configured to minimize or reduce eddy currents caused in the magnetic elements by the inductive power coils.
