  • Patent number: 10461465
    Abstract: Various disclosed embodiments generally relate to connector modules, and more particularly to magnetic connector modules. The connector module includes a board having a concave section formed at a first side, and the concave section has a base surface having formed thereon a plurality of first electrodes. A plurality of second electrodes are formed at a second side of the board opposite the first side and on a rear surface facing away from the base surface. A plurality of holes are formed through the concave section and have conductors formed therethrough to electrically connect the first electrodes and the second electrodes. The connector module additionally includes a magnet inserted into the concave section and an insulating layer interposed between the magnet and the first electrodes.

  • Patent number: 9537334
    Abstract: Provided is a charging system having a circuit for delaying power supply, and more particularly, a charging system having a circuit for delaying power supply installed on a side of a power supply apparatus, wherein the circuit for delaying power supply prevents a spark from being generated when an electronic device and the power supply apparatus are connected to each other. The circuit for delaying power supply blocks the power supply to the Vcc power terminal in the case in which the GND ground power terminal and the D signal terminal are not in an electrically shorted state and releases the blocking of the power supply to the Vcc power terminal because an operation of the transistor is changed and a charging state of the capacitor is changed in the case in which the GND ground power terminal and the D signal terminal become the electrically shorted state.

  • Patent number: 9431182
    Abstract: Provided are a double contact point switch and a magnetic connector having the same. The double contact point switch includes: a pin part; an additional terminal part; and an elastic part applying elastic force to the pin part, wherein the pin part includes a front contact point and a rear contact point, the pin part moves rearward when external force is applied to the front contact point of the pin part and again moves forward when the external force of the front contact point disappears, by the elastic part, and the rear contact point contacts the additional terminal part when the pin part moves rearward. As a result of this configuration, it is possible to confirm whether or not a contact of a magnetic connector was made without installing a separate signal terminal in the magnetic connector.
