    Abstract: Frames for plug connectors capable of being a reduced size may include features to support contacts, house circuitry for coupling with the contacts, facilitate the flow of molten material during the molding of the frame, and allow for ease of insertion and removal of the plug connector to and from a corresponding receptacle connector. For example, a frame may include ledges, interlocks and rounded and tapered openings. Methods for manufacturing the frame are also provided.

    Abstract: Housings for electronic devices including adaptive plugs, and the use of adaptive plugs in methods of manufacturing housings. The housing may include an opening, and an adaptive plug releasably positioned within the opening. A method of forming a housing may include forming an opening within the housing, disposing a curable material within the opening of the housing, and curing the material to form an adaptive plug. The adaptive plug may be positioned within the opening of the housing. The method may also include performing at least one surface treatment on the housing. A method of protecting an edge of an opening in a housing may include providing the housing including the opening, forming an adaptive plug within the opening of the housing, and forming a barrier on the edge of the opening using the adaptive plug.

    Abstract translation: 用于包括自适应插头的电子设备的外壳以及在制造外壳的方法中使用自适应插头。 壳体可以包括开口和可释放地定位在开口内的自适应插塞。 形成壳体的方法可以包括在壳体内形成开口,将可固化材料设置在壳体的开口内,以及固化材料以形成自适应插塞。 自适应插头可以定位在壳体的开口内。 该方法还可以包括对壳体进行至少一次表面处理。 保护壳体中的开口边缘的方法可以包括提供包括开口的壳体,在壳体的开口内形成自适应插塞,并且使用自适应插塞在开口的边缘上形成屏障。

    Abstract: A method of plating the connector frames includes, in part, placing the frames in a vibrating bowl to enable the bowl's vibrations load the frames in a predefined orientation onto the vibrating bowl's channel. The properly oriented frames are delivered from this channel to a track. Subsequently, a multitude of sub-racks securely engage and lift the frames from the track. The sub-racks are afterwards aggregated to form a larger rack which transports the frames to a plating tank in which the plating operation is performed. Optionally, the spacing between adjacent frames in the track is such that no contact between adjacent frames can occur. Each sub-rack has a multitude of hooks or springs adapted to engage the frames. The sub-racks may be aggregated in a horizontal direction or a vertical direction to form the larger rack.
