  • Spring loaded self-ejecting connector
    Patent number: 11581680
    Abstract: A receiving electrical connector includes a body, a slide movably connected to the body and defining a cam surface, and an elastic element biasing the slide relative to the body in a first direction. The cam surface is adapted to bias a mating connector received by the receiving connector from a mated position into a partially mated position in response to a force placed on the slide in a direction opposite the first direction and against an elastic return force imparted on the slide by the elastic element. The cam surface is further adapted to bias the mating connector from the partially mated position to an ejected position under a force applied on the slide by the elastic element.
