摘要： A magnetic charging assembly includes an insert and an adapter including opposing front and back surfaces. Pins extend from the back surface of the adapter, and the front surface includes an outlet configured to receive a plug. A first set of magnets is provided adjacent to the back surface. The insert includes a front surface, a plurality of pin receiving cavities extending inwardly from the front surface, and a second set of magnets is provided adjacent to an inner side of the front surface. The first set of magnets and the second set of magnets enable the adapter to attach to the insert. The set of pins and the pin receiving cavities are electrically conductive such that, when the pins of the adapter are received by the pin receiving cavities of the insert, power is provided through the outlet of the adapter.

摘要： Power connectors that are easy to connect, have a low profile, and can convey one or more data signals. One example can provide a power connector that is easy to connect by providing an axisymmetric connector receptacle and connector insert. Magnets can be used to help guide a connection between a connector insert and a connector receptacle. Canted springs can be used to provide a tactile response to the insertion of the connector insert into the connector receptacle and to help to secure the connector insert in place when mated with the connector insert. Keying or self-aligning features can be included on either or both the connector insert and the connector receptacle to help guide mating.

摘要： An electrical connector has a base, and at least one male terminal and at least one female terminal mounted in the base. The at least one female terminal is configured to be connected with the at least one male terminal of another electrical connector. A connector assembly includes two said electrical connectors. Each one of the electrical connectors is configured to be connected with the other one of the electrical connectors. Since it needs only one mold to manufacture the two electrical connectors for two different purposes, manufacturing cost for the two electrical connectors of the connector assembly can be greatly reduced.

摘要： An electrical connector system for assisting in coupling and unmating electrical connectors. The system generally includes an electromagnet to assist in mating and, alternatively, unmating or uncoupling a first electrical connector with a second electrical connector. The system may include a first electrical connector having a first plurality of contacts, an electromagnet on the first electrical connector adapted to produce a magnetic force, and an input device adapted to receive an input and to provide an output that causes an electrical current to be supplied to the electromagnet. When coupled, the first plurality of electrical contacts are conductively engaged with a second plurality of electrical contacts on the second electrical connector.

摘要： A magnetic connector includes a first insulating housing, a printed circuit board, a plurality of magnetic bodies, a plurality of terminals and a second insulating housing. The first insulating housing has a bottom wall, a side wall, a recess being defined between the bottom wall and the side wall. The printed circuit board is received in the recess. The magnetic bodies are mounted to the printed circuit board. The terminals are mounted to the printed circuit board. The second insulating housing is mounted to the top of the first insulating housing and is covered the recess. The magnetic bodies and the terminals are exposed from a top surface of the second insulating housing. As described above, the magnetic bodies are mounted to the printed circuit board, and then the magnetic bodies are magnetized. Hence, manufacture cost of the magnetic connector is saved.
