Abstract:
A dual orientation plug 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 may include 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. The first plurality of contacts may be symmetrically spaced with the second plurality of contacts and the connector tab may be 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. A receptacle connector corresponding to the plug connector.
Abstract:
A portable electronic device, for inserting and connecting an electrical connector, includes a housing assembly, an electrical socket disposed in the housing assembly and having a slot, a cover plate and an elastic member. The slot is used for inserting and connecting the electrical connector. The cover plate is pivotally connected to the second casing, and is adapted to pivot relative to the housing assembly between a first position and a second position. When the cover plate is at the second position, the cover plate and the housing assembly form an opening. When the cover plate is at the first position, the cover plate covers a part of the area of the opening and shields a part of the electrical socket. The elastic member is connected to both the second casing and the cover plate, and makes the cover plate to be located in the first position.
Abstract:
A card reader is disposed in a case body of an electronic device for connecting an electronic card. The card reader includes an electrical connection socket, at least one guiding member, at least one guiding rail and a cover. The electrical connection socket is disposed in the case body for inserting an electrical connector of the electronic card thereinto. The guiding member is disposed in the case body and provides a guiding slot extending along a guiding direction. The guiding direction is parallel to a direction in which the electrical connector is inserted into the electrical connection socket. The guiding rail includes a sliding portion sliding in the guiding slot and a lower support portion extending from the sliding portion for guiding the electronic card to pass through the insertion hole of the case body. The cover is pivoted to the guiding rail and for closing the insertion hole.
Abstract:
A connecting device is disclosed, which includes a connector structure having a housing, a plug connector, a plurality of electrical contacts and a magnetic-metal set. The housing has a surface on which the electrical contacts and the magnetic-metal set are disposed, and the plug connector protrudes from the housing and is electrically connected to the electrical contacts. An electronic device assembly is further disclosed, which includes an electronic device and the aforesaid connecting device. The connecting device can be inserted into a socket connector of the electronic device, so as to transform the socket connector into a non-pluggable magnetic connector.
Abstract:
An example power adaptor is provided. In one aspect, the power adaptor may include a brick and a cable. The brick may further include a notch with an insert disposed therein. A portion of the cable may be inserted through a narrow portion of the insert and secured within a slot of the insert.
Abstract:
An improved electronic receptacle connector with portions thereof formed from an electrically conductive polymer is disclosed. A conductive polymer front face enables improved device aesthetics and can discharge electrostatic energy from a plug before it is mated with the connector. A conductive polymer housing with internal ground structures may provide electromagnetic interference shielding and improved data transfer speed.
Abstract:
An electronic apparatus includes: a display portion including a display screen; a main body portion including upper and bottom surfaces; and a coupling portion to couple the display portion with the main body portion such that the display portion becomes rotatable between a first state where the display screen faces the upper surface and a second state where the display screen forms a predetermined angle with respect to the upper surface, the main body portion including a pair of side surfaces, and a first connector connectable with a first external connector and includes a lower surface exposed from the bottom surface, the display portion including a first leg portion that protrudes to be positioned lower than the bottom surface in the second state and comes into contact with a surface on which the main body portion is placed to form a predetermined tilt with respect to the surface.

Abstract:
In a connector structure, a moving element is pushed by a connector to move horizontally with respect to a first housing, while a linking element is moved accordingly by the moving element vertically with respect to the first housing. With such structural relation, the connector structure may be substantially reduced in its thickness before connection with the connector, saving room for the thickness of an electronic device where the connector structure is disposed. As the connector is inserted to the connector structure, the sinked linking element provides necessary structural support for withholding the connector, securing the contact between the connector and a connecting jack of the connector structure, and preventing the connector from detaching from the connector structure.
Abstract:
An electrical system includes an alternating current (AC) connector rod assembly and a polyphase electric machine. The electric machine has a plurality of phase leads each electrically connected to the AC connector rod assembly. The assembly includes spaced AC connector rods each having a center axis. The assembly also includes insulating housings and a carrier plate defining through holes that receive and space the AC connector rods. The carrier plate defines features that engage mating features of the insulating housings while allowing each of the rods to rotate about its respective center axis within the carrier plate. A vehicle includes a direct current (DC) battery pack, a DC bus, an AC bus, a PIM that is electrically connected on a first side to the DC bus and on a second side to the AC bus, the AC connector rod assembly, a traction motor, and a transmission.
