    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: Ein Adapter zum Verbinden eines Zubehörs mit einer tragbaren elektronischen Vorrichtung umfasst einen ersten Steckverbinder, welcher mit einem Steckverbinder der tragbaren elektronischen Vorrichtung kompatibel ist, und einen zweiten Steckverbinder, welcher mit einem Steckverbinder des Zubehörs kompatibel ist. Die Steckverbinder des Zubehörs und der tragbaren elektronischen Vorrichtung sind ansonsten inkompatibel miteinander. Der Adapter stellt zwei Level von Authentifizierung bereit. Zuerst authentifiziert sich der Adapter selbst gegenüber der tragbaren elektronischen Vorrichtung. Wenn diese erste Authentifizierung erfolgreich ist, dann authentifiziert der Adapter das Zubehör gegenüber dem Adapter.

    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: 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.
