Abstract: In accordance with various embodiments of the present disclosure, a pin for an electrical connector is provided. The pin includes a head that is fixedly mated with a shaft to form the pin.

Abstract: An electrical device charger is provided. In various embodiments the charger includes a dual plug pivotally mounted within a plug reservoir of a charging unit. The dual plug includes a set of first pins and a set of second pins, wherein the first pins are fixedly oriented at substantially a 90° angle to the second pins. The first pins are structured for insertion into a first type of electrical supply receptacle and the second pins are structured for insertion into a second type of electrical supply receptacle.

Abstract: In accordance with various embodiments of the present disclosure, a pin for an electrical connector is provided. The pin includes a head that is fixedly mated with a shaft to form the pin.

Abstract: The present invention provides a system and method for providing power to electronic devices such as cellular telephones and accessories thereof. A power converter module, which may be either an AC or DC module and which delivers accessory usable power, mates with an accessory module through a pair of mating connectors. By supplying a standard interface between converter and accessory modules, a system of interchangeable modules can be used to produce accessories without duplication of what would otherwise be redundant components. The invention thus provides flexibility and reduces the cost and clutter of prior art systems and methods for powering cell phone accessories.

Abstract: An electrical connector assembly formed using an overmolding process. The electrical connector assembly includes a body which houses spring contacts, a spring mechanism, and terminals opposite to the spring contacts. The body is enclosed with a and protector which is defined by an upper portion and a lower portion. The upper and lower portions are cooperatively engaged to provide structural protection during the overmolding process and sealing protection as well.

Abstract: A plug assembly having a body portion, a plug housing that provides a mounting for AC prongs that creates a cavity therewithin, and a PCB located in the cavity. A pair of contact terminals are mounted on the PCB in a predetermined position so as to create a spring-loaded electrical contact with a corresponding one of the AC prongs during assembly. The present invention reduces the bulkiness, optimizes the packaging size, and reduces the profile of the plug assembly by using the cavity to house the PCB, thereby providing a reduction or elimination of the need to mount components within the body portion. The present invention eliminates the need to use flexible wires, springs, or direct soldering between the AC prongs and the circuitry on the PCB, thereby making assembly quicker and easier through use of the spring loaded contact terminal.
