    Abstract: Mechanisms to prevent access to electronic components in an electronic device when the electronic device is receiving power. On example may provide an electronic device including a receptacle, the receptacle including a button. The button may be configured to be depressed by a user, and otherwise to be in a normal state. When the button is depressed, it may act through a locking mechanism to unlock, open, or eject a door covering one or more sockets or electronic components. When the door is closed, the locking mechanism may either prevent the door from being opened, or may maintain the door in a closed state, unless the button is depressed. When a power plug is inserted in the receptacle, the power plug may prevent access to the button. Accordingly, when the power plug is inserted, the button may not be accessible to be depressed, and the door may remain closed.

    Abstract: Connector receptacles that may have a reduced height when combined with a printed circuit board and reduce wasted space inside an electronic device. One example may provide a connector receptacle that fits in an opening in a printed circuit board. The connector receptacle may also be angled at an oblique angle relative to the printed circuit board such that its face may be flush with a highly stylized device enclosure.

    Abstract: Audio jack optical modules that may have a reduced size. Various examples may provide an optical module for an audio jack where a driver circuit is omitted from the optical module and instead placed either elsewhere in the audio jack or separately outside the audio jack. In some examples, the driver may be integrated with a logic circuit, such as a coder-decoder (CODEC) or other logic circuit. Other examples may provide an optical module for an audio jack where a lens for a light-emitting diode is omitted. In some examples, a higher-power light-emitting diode may be used. These light-emitting diodes may be strong enough to provide a requisite amount of light to a detector in, or associated with, an audio plug.

    Abstract: Connectors having improved signal paths. An illustrative embodiment of the present invention may provide a connector having a pair of first contacts adjacent to each other. Two second contacts may be located on each side of and adjacent to the pair of first contacts. The second contacts may include a front beam portion that contacts a front shield located along a front face of the connector. The front shield may in turn connect to a top shield that at least partially covers a top, sides, and back of the connector.

    Abstract: Structures, methods, and apparatus that provide connector receptacles that have a reduced tendency to scratch and otherwise mar connector inserts, have an aesthetically-pleasing appearance, and have an improved tactile response when inserts are inserted. Various examples reduce scratches and wear by utilizing domes, cylinders, balls, or other structures as finger contacts in a connector receptacle. Another example provides aesthetically-pleasing connector receptacle enclosures by forming receptacle enclosures using the same type of material, or material having the same or similar color or texture, as is used for enclosing the electronic device that includes the receptacle. Another example provides an aesthetically-pleasing receptacle enclosure by forming receptacle enclosures that are, in part or in whole, contiguous or formed with the housing. Another embodiment provides a connector receptacle having a housing where a portion of the housing has been removed to save space.
