    摘要: Devices and methods of manufacture for improved connector plugs are provided herein. In one aspect, an exemplary connector plug comprises a shield shell having a proximal stepped-down portion and a boot member that fittingly receives the stepped-down proximal portion so that an outer surface of the distal shield shell and the boot member is about flush with a minimal or negligible space therebetween. In some embodiments, the shield shell comprises a separate front shield shell and a reduced profile rear shield shell welded together so as to provide the advantageous reduced profile and improved aesthetic appearance, while maintaining the structural integrity of the connector. In many embodiments, weld strength of the shield shells is improved by providing line-to-line contact between shield shells by using deflectable tabs and/or utilizing thermal expansion properties of one or both shield shells.

    摘要: Devices and methods for assembling co-planar electrical contacts in a connector are provided herein. In one aspect, an exemplary method of assembly comprises depositing solder in a connector plug enclosure, positioning electrical contacts on the solder deposits, advancing the hotbar toward the enclosure contacting each of the electrical contacts so as to planarize a top surface of each of the electrical contacts with the enclosure and melting the solder with the heated hotbar to solder the electrical contacts to the enclosure. In one aspect, an exemplary hotbar device includes a magnet for releasably coupling the electrical contacts to the hotbar. In another aspect, the hotbar includes metallic portions for heating the electrical contacts and insulated ceramic portions for contacting the enclosure. In another aspect, an electrically conductive hotbar includes side portions that extend away from the bottom heating surface facilitating more uniform current flow through the hotbar.

    摘要: Cable structures for use in cable assemblies that interconnect portable electronic devices with various other devices, such as power adaptors, computers, media playback devices, etc. are shown. The cable structures can include a ground conductor that is broken up into multiple, smaller ground conductors that are physically separate and distinct from each other with the cable structure (and which can be terminated together in, for example, the connectors at the ends of the cable assembly). The cable structure may also include conductors having insulating material formed from FEP and/or wire mesh shield elements configured for high durability during bending and twisting of the assembled cable. An extrusion process can be used to manufacture the final, fully-assembled cable structure.

    摘要: A dual orientation connector having a connector tab with first and second major opposing sides and a plurality of electrical contacts carried by the connector tab. The plurality of contacts includes a first set of external contacts formed at the first major side and a second set of external contacts formed at the second major side. The first plurality of contacts are symmetrically spaced with the second plurality of contacts and the connector tab is shaped to have 180 degree symmetry so that it can be inserted and operatively coupled to a corresponding receptacle connector in either of two insertion orientations.
