  • Patent number: 8953351
    Abstract: A power conversion apparatus is provided. The power conversion apparatus includes an AC to DC adapter, an input port, a power conversion control unit, and a restart circuit. The AC to DC adapter converts an AC input voltage into a DC output voltage according to an external signal of an electronic apparatus and provides the DC output voltage to the electronic apparatus. The input port receives the AC input voltage through an AC input terminal. If the power conversion apparatus does not output the DC output voltage to the electronic apparatus, the power conversion control unit turns off the power conversion apparatus. If the restart circuit detects that an insertion action occurs on the input port, the restart circuit transmits a trigger signal to turn on the power conversion control unit in an off mode.

  • Publication number: 20130217271
    Abstract: An electrical connector includes a first terminal and a second terminal. The second terminal is fixed at the first terminal and enclosed by the first terminal, in which the second terminal includes a tube-shaped structure, the tube-shaped structure has a clipping portion and two end-surfaces, the two end-surfaces lean against each other to form a seam. The inner diameter of the clipping portion is smaller than the inner diameters of other portions of the tube-shaped structure. When a third terminal of a coupling connector is inserted into the tube-shaped structure to make the tube-shaped structure elastically deformed, the two end-surfaces are separated from each other and the clipping portion clips the third terminal.
