Abstract: An improved electronic contact assembly for electrical connectors is disclosed. A plurality of elongated metallic contacts may be formed, each having one or more protrusions that enable precision alignment within a connector. A plurality of the contacts may be insert-molded in a dielectric frame which may have alignment tabs, resilient alignment bosses, alignment posts and crushable combs, all enabling precise alignment of contacts within a connector.

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)).

Abstract: A plug connector module (100) including a metal frame (105) with a cavity, a substrate (104) inside the frame. The substrate includes several contact pads on one side located on the top face and bottom face of the substrate. Both set of contacts pads are connected to external contacts (106(1)-106(16)) located inside frame top and bottom openings. On the other side of the substrate are located several conductor pads (110). Between contact and conductor bonding pads the substrate includes ground pads (112). Electronic components (108a, 108b) are coupled to the substrate. A first encapsulant (205) seals the electronic components. A metal shield (210) coupled to the base portion of the metal frame and encasing a portion of the substrate and the one or more electronic components, the metal shield includes a leg (220) perpendicular to the substrate coupled to the ground pad, and a second encapsulant (250) that seals the ground pad and at least a portion of the leg.

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.

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.
