  • Patent number: 9356376
    Abstract: A miniaturized connector is provided. The connector comprises a plug and a receptacle, where the receptacle is adapted for being assembled into a device, e.g. ear piece, ear monitor or other parts, and the plug is via a cable connected to a source for electrical power. Contact springs may be formed to protrude through the receptacle housing opening in straight lines to engage a plug recess to secure the plug.

  • Publication number: 20120315772
    Abstract: The invention relates to a micro-electrical connector for creating an electrical contact between a first and a second contact surface, said micro-electrical connector comprising at least one flexible contact, such as a polymer contact, a housing for holding said at least one flexible contact, where said housing is adapted for being positioned between said first and said second contact surface, and a fixating mean fastened to said housing in such a way that said fixation mean can be moved from a locked position to an un-locked position, wherein in said locked position said fixation mean locks said at least one flexible contact, between said first and said second, contact surface, whereby an electrical contact between said first and said second contact surface is created and in said un-locked position, at least part of said micro-electrical connector can be disassembled.

  • Publication number: 20110135131
    Abstract: This invention relates to a connector to be mounted between the receiver and the ear side unit of a hearing device, wherein said connector is flexible and comprises at least one stiff section shaped for maintaining the positioning of at least a part of said hearing device at or near the user's ear. An isolated wire could be used as the soft and flexible part of the connector. Said isolated wire comprises a number of lacquered conducting wires, a strength fiber and a flexible outer isolating jacket. The lacquered conducting wires and the tensile strength fiber are twisted together such that they form a helix that constitutes the core part of the isolated wire.

  • Publication number: 20100195853
    Abstract: This invention relates to an electrical connector for generating an electrical connection between at least a first electric conductor and at least a second electric conductor, e.g. for generating an electrical connection between the lead wires of a connector mounted between the ear side unit and receiver of a hearing device and the receiver, wherein said electrical connection is based on pressure of at least one of said conductors against a pressure-sensitive conductive elastomer fixated between said at least two electric conductors. The present invention further relates to a hearing device comprising an ear side unit, a receiver and an electrical connection between said ear side unit and said receiver, wherein said electrical connection comprises at least an electrical connector as described above. The invention also relates to a method of generating an electric connection between at least a first electrical conductor.
