Abstract: A miniaturized connector is provided. The connector comprises a plug and a receptacle, where the receptacle is adapted for being assembled into a device, e.g. ear piece, ear monitor or other parts, and the plug is via a cable connected to a source for electrical power. Contact springs may be formed to protrude through the receptacle housing opening in straight lines to engage a plug recess to secure the plug.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a receptacle and a plug for a miniaturized connector for use in an audio device, a hearing device or a similar device.

Abstract: The invention relates to a micro-electrical connector for creating an electrical contact between a first and a second contact surface, said micro-electrical connector comprising at least one flexible contact, such as a polymer contact, a housing for holding said at least one flexible contact, where said housing is adapted for being positioned between said first and said second contact surface, and a fixating mean fastened to said housing in such a way that said fixation mean can be moved from a locked position to an un-locked position, wherein in said locked position said fixation mean locks said at least one flexible contact, between said first and said second, contact surface, whereby an electrical contact between said first and said second contact surface is created and in said un-locked position, at least part of said micro-electrical connector can be disassembled.

Abstract: This invention relates to an electrical connector for generating an electrical connection between at least a first electric conductor and at least a second electric conductor, e.g. for generating an electrical connection between the lead wires of a connector mounted between the ear side unit and receiver of a hearing device and the receiver, wherein said electrical connection is based on pressure of at least one of said conductors against a pressure-sensitive conductive elastomer fixated between said at least two electric conductors. The present invention further relates to a hearing device comprising an ear side unit, a receiver and an electrical connection between said ear side unit and said receiver, wherein said electrical connection comprises at least an electrical connector as described above. The invention also relates to a method of generating an electric connection between at least a first electrical conductor.

Abstract: A miniature trimmer resistor has a resistor carrier with resistive path deposited thereon and solder contacts electrically connected to the resistive path. The resistor carrier and solder contacts are formed by means of a single film of electrically insulating material. This film is covered or coated with electrically conductive material in the region of the solder contacts and printed with a resistive enamel in the region of the resistive path.
