    Abstract: An electronic device can include a housing forming an aperture within an exterior surface of the housing. An electronic component can be disposed within the housing and include a receptacle coupled to the electronic component. The housing and the receptacle can form an electrical port. The electronic device can further include a first engagement feature and a cable having a first plug connector and a second plug connector. The first plug connector can include a boot, a plug, and a second engagement feature. The boot is receivable within the aperture formed within the exterior surface of the housing. The plug is receivable within the receptacle to electrically couple the electronic device with the cable. The second engagement feature can interconnect or otherwise engage the first engagement feature to retain the cable to the electronic device.

    Abstract: An inductor coil (42) includes a wire (28) which is wound in alternating layers such that the surface area of the wire in each winding viewed from above or below the coil is substantially equal in each half of the coil defined by a line (45) bisecting the center point (30) in each layer. The layers are also wound in a serpentine fashion to balance the capacitance between layers. The substantially equal surface area of wire in each half (46, 47) of a coil layer and in adjacent coil layers results in a balanced capacitance of the coil which, in turn, results in reduced common mode noise.

    Abstract: Connector assemblies may be space efficient, have a high corrosion resistance, are difficult to damage, reduce or prevent moisture leakage into an electronic device housing the connector assembly, are readily assembled, and are reliable. One example may provide an inductive charging port for transferring electrical energy from a first electric device to a second electronic device. As compared to conventional connector inserts and connector receptacles, these inductive charging ports may have a smaller form factor and consume a reduced volume in an electronic device. Corrosion resistance may be provided by including a protective layer or cover portion over what would otherwise be exposed surfaces of a transformer core. Orings, gaskets, or other structures may be included to reduce moisture leakage into a device. The inductive charging port may include a low number of parts for a simplified assembly, and thermal management of various types may be used to improve reliability.
