Abstract: A stage pin electrical connector includes a housing having a first housing member and a second housing member. The first and second housing members are releasably connected together to define an interior, a conductor opening, a contact portion, and a contact opening. The contact portion includes a first snap-fit connection feature. A sleeve receives a contact member and has a second snap-fit connection feature configured to releasably mate with the first snap-fit connection feature.

Abstract: A portable device charging unit includes a battery, a base supporting the battery and including an inductive charging surface, and at least one retainer for selectively securing an electronic device in engagement against the inductive charging surface. In addition, a system may be provided for storing and dispensing one or more device charging units.

Abstract: An electronic power connector including at least one contact configured to electrically connect a power supply to a load. The electronic power connector further including an insulating sleeve configured to receive the at least one contact. The insulating sleeve includes a sensor slot located at a first end of the insulating sleeve.

Abstract: An electrical power system including an electrical power connector, a contact configured to electrically connect a power supply to a load, a first sensor configured to sense a first characteristic of the electrical power connector, a second sensor configured to sense a second characteristic of the electrical power connector, and an electronic controller. The electronic controller configured to receive a first signal indicative of the first characteristic, receive a second signal indicative of the second characteristic, compare the first signal to a first threshold, compare the second signal to a second threshold, and dynamically adjust at least one selected from a group consisting of the first threshold and the second threshold. Wherein the dynamic adjustment is based on at least one selected from a group consisting of a measured or calculated parameter, an installation condition, an operational limit, a known operational behavior, and parameter threshold information.
