Abstract: A plug connector comprises a body 42 and a connector tab 44 extending from the body and configured to be inserted into a corresponding receptacle connector. The tab carries external contacts 106 on a first surface, including first and second data contacts configured to enable communication using a first communication protocol and an ID contact configured to carry information that identifies the communication protocol associated with the first and second data contacts. Circuitry 108a, 108b coupled to the ID contact is configured to participate in a handshaking algorithm that communicates the information that identifies the communication protocol (eg USB, UART) associated with the first and second data contacts over the ID contact. The plug may also have further contacts on a second surface of the tab, configured so that the plug may be used either way up.

Abstract: ?355149 Pg 32 Frames for plug connectorscapable of being a reduced size may include features to support contacts, house circuitry for coupling with the contacts, facilitate the flow of molten material during the molding of the frame, and allow for ease of insertion and removal of the plug connector to and from a corresponding receptacle connector. For example, a frame may include ledges, interlocks and rounded and tapered openings. Methods for manufacturing the frame are also provided. ?355149 Pg 34 105 114 110 ii; 104 106 102a FIG. 2A FIG. 2B 108a 116a 106(1)...106(8) 1,l16b FIG. 2C FIG. 2D 106(1)...106(8) FIG. 2E FIG. 2F

Abstract: En este documento se proporcionan dispositivos y métodos para ensamblar contactos eléctricos coplanarios en un conector. En un aspecto, un método ejemplar de ensamble comprende depositar soldadura en un compartimiento de clavija de conector, colocar contactos eléctricos en los depósitos de soldadura, hacer avanzar la barra caliente hacia el compartimiento al contactar cada uno de los contactos eléctricos con el fin de llevar al mismo plano una superficie superior de cada uno de los contactos eléctricos con el compartimiento y fundir la soldadura con la barra caliente calentada para soldar los contactos eléctricos al compartimiento. En un aspecto, un dispositivo de barra caliente ejemplar incluye un imán para acoplar de manera liberable los contactos eléctricos a la barra caliente. En otro aspecto, la barra caliente incluye porciones metálicas para calentar los contactos eléctricos y porciones de cerámica aisladas para contactar el compartimiento. En otro aspecto, una barra caliente eléctricamente conductiva incluye porciones laterales que se extienden lejos de la superficie inferior de calentamiento, lo que facilita un flujo de corriente más uniforme a través de la barra caliente.

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. 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 In some embodiments contacts in the first and second pluralities of contacts that are directly opposite each other are coupled together In some other embodiments, contacts in the first and second pluralities of contacts that are in a cater cornered relationship with each other are coupled together. 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.
