  • Contactless connector
    Patent number: 9634728
    Abstract: A contactless connector includes an insulative housing having a mating interface configured to be coupled to a connector interface of an electronic device. The housing can be reversibly coupled to the connector interface in a first orientation or in a second orientation oriented 180 degrees relative to the first orientation. A communication circuit board is held within the housing that includes a first connector communication chip and a second connector communication chip configured to define wireless communication channels with corresponding device communication chips of the electronic device in either orientation. A sensor senses the orientation of the housing relative to the connector interface of the electronic device to determine if the housing is in the first orientation or in the second orientation. The mode of operation of the first and second connector communication chips is controlled based on the sensed orientation of the housing.

  • Textile connector for an electronic textile having a snap fastener with contacts
    Patent number: 9577374
    Abstract: A textile connector for an electronic textile includes a snap fastener having first and second snap segments configured to be snap fastened together such that the electronic textile is mechanically secured therebetween. A first contact is held by the snap fastener. The first contact is configured to be electrically connected to a first conductor of the electronic textile to define a first signal line. A second contact is held by the snap fastener. The second contact is configured to be electrically connected to a second conductor of the electronic textile to define a second signal line. The first and second signal lines transmit different data signals from the electronic textile to an electronic component mounted to the electronic textile.
