  • Electrical cable and connector assembly with voltage step down system
    Patent number: 6860762
    Abstract: An electrical cable and connector assembly having an electrical cable comprising a 12 Volt supply conductor and a 5 Volt supply conductor; and an electrical connector connected to the electrical cable. The electrical connector includes a 12 Volt supply contact connected to the 12 Volt supply conductor, a 5 Volt supply contact connected to the 5 Volt supply conductor, and a 3.3 Volt supply contact connected to the 5 Volt supply conductor by a voltage step down system located inside a housing of the electrical connector. With this embodiment, the connector can be connected to a device, such as a disc drive, requiring 12 and 5 Volt inputs or alternatively can be connected to a device requiring 12 and 3.3 Volt inputs.
