  • Patent number: 11876328
    Abstract: An electrical plug has a pin arrangement including a pair of electrical power transmitting contacts separate from one another and a plurality of electrical signal transmitting contacts separate from each other. A pin arrangement transverse axis extends through a central point of the pin arrangement. A distance extending parallel to the pin arrangement transverse axis between a pair of longitudinal axes of the electrical power transmitting contacts is less than or equal to 6.1 mm. A maximum distance extending parallel to the pin arrangement transverse axis between a plurality of longitudinal axes of the electrical signal transmitting contacts that are furthest from each other along a direction parallel to the pin arrangement transverse axis is less than or equal to 6 mm.
