Abstract: A power supply includes a body, a number of cables, a first connector, and a second connector. The first and second connectors are connected to the body of the power supply via the cables. The first connector includes a first connecting portion. The second connector includes a second connecting portion, operable to engage with the first connecting portion.

Abstract: A connector for effecting a permanent, solderless connection between two printed circuit boards or other devices using plated through via openings is disclosed. The connector body captures pins that project from two surfaces thereof. Each of a plurality of pins presents dual compliant connecting portions, one adjacent each body surface from which the pin projects. The connector body portion may also include bosses adjacent the projecting pins to cause the pin compliant connecting portion to have a predetermined distance of penetration into the cooperating via opening of a connected board or panel and the edge surface of the body can be notched between pin locations to enable an extended length to be partitioned into smaller units. The connector may also be formed with two spaced body portions to effect greater separation between attached boards.

Abstract: An electrical connector includes a housing (30,60,80,100) and a contact insert (41,61,81,101) that includes contacts (43,63,83,103) carried by a molding (42,62,82,102). A lock member (50,70,90,105) cooperates with the housing to secure the contact insert in the housing and to bias the molding against a wall of the housing. In one embodiment, the lock member (50) has a head (52) that is interference fitted in a stall (48) in the housing, and the lock member has a tail (54) that is arranged to urge the molding toward the head. In another embodiment, the lock member (60,80) is wedged between the molding and a portion of the housing. The lock member has a main portion, and nose portions (76,92) that project from the main portion, and the nose portions engage the molding. In another embodiment, the lock member (105) includes a protrusion of the molding that is interference fitted in an aperture (106) in the housing.

Abstract: A flex cabling having a socket connector at one end and a pair of terminal caps at the other end. The flex cabling is plastic or the like into which at least one run of flat conductor material or wire is embedded extending from a pair of polarized terminals in the socket connector to the respective terminal caps. The flex cabling provides a one-piece unitary construction and the terminal caps are insertably receive the respective terminals on the battery. The terminals of the socket connector are marked with positive and negative indicia so that a mismatch of polarity from a plug of a battery charger cannot be misaligned. Misalignment is further avoided by providing a keyway in the cabling socket connector so that the connectors of the plug from the charger can only be inserted into the terminal openings of the socket connector in proper orientation.

Abstract: According to the present invention, a card connector device includes: a slide member for engaging with a card attached to and detached from a housing slidable in a direction of inserting and discharging the card; a return spring for biasing the slide member in the direction of discharging the card; a lock for holding the slide member against the biasing force of the return spring at a position where the card is fitted; and a push rod arranged to be able to shift between a standby position and a pushed position for unlocking the lock by pressing manipulation to shift the slide member to a discharge position of the card, wherein a switch is provided in the housing, the switch operating in accordance with engagement/disengagement of the slide member and the lock and detecting that the card is held at the fit position by engaging with the lock.

Abstract: A stacked connector comprises a first receptacle in a first portion of the connector. A second receptacle is stacked on the first receptacle in the first portion of the connector. A group of first contacts is arranged in the first receptacle. A group of second contacts is arranged in the second receptacle. A second portion of the connector is arranged adjacent to the first and second receptacles and includes a recess extending across the first and second receptacles for receiving an insert containing at least one filtering circuit element. The groups of first and second contacts have extensions extending into the second portion of the connector, the extensions of the first and second contacts are arranged along one wall of the recess for connection to the insert. A group of third contacts is provided separate from the groups of first and second contacts.
