    摘要: An electrical connector includes a receptacle connector having a tongue member with a surface extending between first and second tongue ends and having a shoulder extending from the surface adjacent to the second tongue end. The shoulder has a cross-sectional area within a receptacle opening size limit. The receptacle connector further includes a set of electrical contacts each extending through the shoulder between first and second contact ends on opposite sides of the shoulder. The electrical contacts at the first contact end are attached to the tongue surface at the first tongue end. The electrical contacts at the second contact end extend beyond the second tongue end. The receptacle connector further includes an electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding bracket covering at least a portion of the set of electrical contacts between the first contact end and the shoulder. The disclosure further includes a method of making the electrical connector.

    摘要: Low-profile keysets and input devices having such low-profile keysets are described. In one example, the input device includes a support structure having a first and second surface; a bezel having a first and second surface, wherein the first surface of the bezel is adjacent to the first surface of the support structure, and the bezel comprises at least one opening; at least one key cap positioned within the at least one opening of the bezel, wherein each key cap is configured to move between a first and second position to trigger a function of the input device; and a fabric cover layer positioned adjacent to the second surface of the bezel, such that the bezel and the at least one key cap are positioned between the fabric cover layer and the support structure, the fabric cover layer is only adhered to the second surface of the bezel.

    摘要: Described are examples of an input device having a wheel with a plurality of teeth, where at least the plurality of teeth are composed of a ferrous or magnetic material. A magnet is disposed to provide a first magnetic field that attracts the ferrous or magnetic material of the plurality of teeth to provide a detent action when moving the wheel from a first position to a second position. A magnet sheet is disposed to provide a second magnetic field that causes the magnet sheet to deform based on magnetic attraction to the ferrous or magnetic material of the plurality of teeth when moving the wheel from the first position to the second position. A strain sensor coupled to the magnet sheet can detect a strain caused by deformation of the magnet sheet, and provide an electronic signal indicating the strain.

    摘要: Mechanical key design for keyboards often includes rubber or metal dome switches along with scissor mechanisms that offer a desirable feel and overall performance or achieve the key travel necessary to meet shrinking overall keyboard thickness specifications, but not both. Haptic feedback devices offer a user sensory feedback signifying a selection has been made without any physical travel of a keypad, but also may not offer the user a desirable feel and overall performance. The following describes in detail keys or push buttons that offer the user a desirable feel and performance, while meeting shrinking overall keyboard thickness specifications.
