    摘要: A connector includes a connector base with a first end that may be inserted in a port, and a second end located opposite the connector base from the first end. A connector release tab extends from the connector base adjacent the first end and moves relative to the connector base. A connector securing feature on the connector release tab may engage a port to secure the connector base in that port. A connector release system includes a connector release linkage coupled to the connector release tab and extending through the connector base, and a connector release actuator adjacent the second end of the connector base and coupled to the connector release linkage. The connector release actuator may be actuated to move, via the connector release linkage, the connector release tab to disengage the connector securing feature from a port such that the connector base may be removed from that port.

    摘要: A breakaway electrical connector is provided that includes a line side and a load side. The line side that is connectable to a line conductor, while the load side is connectable to a load conductor. The line side has a first magnet and a first plurality of contacts. The load side has a second magnet and a second plurality of contacts. The first and second magnets provide a magnetic connection force to maintain the line and load sides connected to one another with the first and second plurality of contacts electrically coupled to one another.

    摘要: An electrical connector includes a connector housing having a mating end at a front of the connector housing configured to be mating with a mating electrical connector. The connector housing includes a contact module chamber. An electrical connector includes a stack of contact modules received in the contact module chamber. Each contact module includes a module body holding a plurality of contacts. The contacts have mating ends at the mating end of the connector housing for mating with the mating electrical connector; and an electrical connector includes a contact module biasing members between the contact modules and the connector housing to forward bias the contact modules in the contact module chamber, wherein the contact module biasing members are compressible to allow the contact modules to move independent from each other relative to the connector housing in the contact module chamber when mating with the mating electrical connector.

    摘要: A contact assembly for an electrical connector includes an array of contacts including signal contacts and ground contacts. The ground contacts are interspersed with the signal contacts to provide electrical shielding between corresponding signal contacts. Each signal contact includes a signal contact body having a first side, a second side opposite the first side, a first edge between the first and second sides, and a second edge between the first and second sides opposite the first edge. The signal contact body includes a signal mating end and a signal terminating end. Each signal contact includes a mating ball formed at the signal mating end of the signal contact body. The mating ball is generally spherical shaped. The mating ball and the signal contact body are a homogeneous structure.

    摘要: A connector with overvoltage protection, and methods of use, for charging an electric aircraft. The connector includes a housing, at least a current conductor, a protection circuit, at least a sensor and a controller. The housing is configured to mate with an electric aircraft port of the electric aircraft. The at least a current conductor is configured to conduct a current. The protection circuit is configured to control transmission of electrical power through the connector. The at least a sensor is configured to detect an output voltage of the connector. The controller is communicatively connected to the at least a sensor. The controller is configured to determine an overvoltage output as a function of the output voltage, and activate the protection circuit based on detection of the overvoltage output.

    摘要: An electrical connector includes an insulative housing and conductive power and signal terminals. The housing has a mating interface that engages with a mating connector. The power terminals and signal terminals are attached to the housing and exposed at the mating interface. The housing is configured to be mounted on a circuit board such that a side housing surface is aligned with an edge of the circuit board. The connector may have a right-angle configuration and may mate with a right-angle mating connector such that an edge of the circuit board of the connector and an edge of a circuit board of the mating connector are aligned edge to edge and directly face each other to form a flat pair, or may mate with a vertical mating connector to form a corner pair. The power terminals and the signals terminals may be arranged in arrays of columns and rows.

    摘要: An inductive charging antenna for charging the power source of an active implantable medical device (AIMD) is described. The charging antenna is supported on the body fluid side of the feedthrough insulator, on the device side of the insulator or it is embedded inside the insulator. The charging antenna is connected to electronic circuits housed inside the medical device to charge the power source so that the device can deliver electrical stimulation to a patient and receive sensed biological signals from body tissue, among other functionalities. If the charging antenna is supported on the insulator body fluid side, it is made from a biocompatible material such as platinum. However, if the charging antenna is embedded inside the feedthrough insulator or is supported on the device side of the insulator, it can be made from a less expensive material that is not biocompatible, for example, copper.
