Abstract: A locking electrical plug connector 400 comprises: plural conductive pins; a locking mechanism whose locking portion (e.g. hook) engages an electrical receptacle connector 600; and an access pathway 408 (e.g. hole, aperture, etc.) that exposes the locking mechanism such that an external unlocking tool can be inserted into the access pathway to release the locking portion from the receptacle connector 600. In a separate embodiment, a cable 312 for power transmission and transmission of a security signal comprises plural electrical elements and three connectors 302, 304, 306. The first connector 302 (e.g. 30-pin male plug connector) is configured to interface with a portable electronic device. The second connector 304 (e.g. RJ-11 connector) is connected to the first connector 302 via at least one of the electrical elements and is configured for transmission of a security signal via at least one of the electrical elements. The third connector 306 (e.g. USB connector) is also connected to the first connector 302 via at least another one of the electrical elements and is configured for power transmission.

Abstract: Connector adapter (110) that may allow contacts in a connector insert (120) to form electrical connections with contacts in an incompatible connector receptacle (132). The connector adapter may be a magnetic connector providing a magnetic connector receptacle at a first end to accept a connector insert having an attraction plate. This connector adapter may further provide a connector insert having an attraction plate (240) at a second end to insert into a magnetic connector receptacle on an electrical device (130). Some contacts (260) of the adapter may be spring loaded contacts. Another form of adapter is a cable assembly includes connector insert (910), connector receptacle (920) and cable (930). The connector insert comprising LEDs (922, 924) notifying the user about a charging state of the connected device (130) and the connector receptacle comprising electrical protection devices (916).

Abstract translation: 连接器适配器（110），其可以允许连接器插入件（120）中的触点与不相容的连接器插座（132）中的触点形成电连接。 连接器适配器可以是在第一端处提供磁性连接器插座以接受具有吸引板的连接器插件的磁性连接器。 该连接器适配器还可以提供在第二端具有吸引板（240）的连接器插件，以将其插入到电气设备（130）上的磁性连接器插座中。 适配器的一些触点（260）可以是弹簧加载的触点。 适配器的另一种形式是包括连接器插件（910），连接器插座（920）和电缆（930）的电缆组件。 连接器插件包括LED（922,924），通知用户有关连接的设备（130）的充电状态和包括电保护装置（916）的连接器插座。
