Abstract: A connector insert for protecting contacts within a receptacle housing of a connector assembly from becoming contaminated. The connector insert includes a body portion having an exterior configured to correspond to at least a portion of the interior of the receptacle housing of the connector assembly. The body portion of the insert includes an opening which extends into the body portion to receive the contacts and protect the contacts from the exterior environment surrounding the receptacle housing when at least a portion of the body portion is received within the receptacle housing.

Abstract: A connector assembly for use in an economy of space. The connector assembly includes a connector housing configured to be received by an electrical system housing. In one embodiment, an IR input connector and an S-video input connector are housed within a connector housing. The IR input connector and the S-video input connector together have a first footprint on a system board within the electrical system housing. A fiber optic input connector is also housed within the connector housing. The fiber optic input connector has a second footprint when coupled to the system board. The first and second footprints communicate with one another on the system board. Electrical leads of the IR input connector and the S-video input connector in the first footprint are displaced from electrical leads of the fiber optic input connector in the second footprint when the IR input connector, the S-video input connector and the fiber optic input connector are coupled to the system board within the electrical system housing.
