A modular jack is electrically connected to a plug that includes a plug body having a cable, a mating contact provided on the plug body, a latch portion elastically deformable to pivot toward the plug body around one end portion provided on the plug body, and a lever portion provided on the latch portion. The modular jack includes a housing into which the plug is inserted, a contact connected to the mating contact, and a shell to which the latch portion can latch so as to prevent the plug inserted into the housing from being detached from the housing. The shell includes an anti-lift portion configured to prevent the latch portion from pivoting away from the plug body to an extent that the latch portion becomes unable to latch to the shell.

The present disclosure relates to a signal hub featuring a switchable plug system, which allows for the interchange of plug types, such as from European Union (EU) to United States (US) standards, without disassembling the device. The system includes a plug housing that fits into a recess on the bottom shell, providing vertical and lateral support when plugged into an outlet. Plug prongs align with shell fastener apertures, secured by a fastener cover to protect against environmental exposure. The system utilizes a spring housing with terminal apertures to guide recess prongs into elastic terminals, ensuring stable electrical connections through compressive force. The ambient air gap between the top and bottom shells facilitates cooling, enhancing operational stability. The flexible support within the plug housing ensures consistent electrical contact, while the spring interconnects allow for vertical and lateral movement, improving impact protection and adaptability across different regions.

A power connector includes a connector housing having a plug at a mating end at a front and a base at a terminating end at a rear. The plug is configured to be plugged into a busbar assembly and includes a slot between plug walls that receives a busbar of the busbar assembly. The power connector includes first and second power contacts received in corresponding contact channels each having a mating end in the slot to mate with busbar contacts of the busbar and a sockets at the terminating ends configured to receive corresponding power pins.

A plug connector coupling, in the housing of which at least two female plug connectors are formed, are arranged such that they are rotated by 180° relative to one another about a common axis. For each female plug connector, a locking assembly is provided for each cable plug. The contact elements of both female plug connectors belong to a common contact set, in which the contact elements are guided in a crossing manner and same are arranged on opposing sides and rotated by 180° relative to one another about the common axis. Two locking arms are also arranged in an opposing manner relative to the common axis.

To provide a hybrid SPE connector unit which simplifies a PCB layout and is space-saving and cost-effective.SOLUTION: A hybrid SPE connector unit (1) further comprises at least one female SPE output connector (8) selected from a group of connectors, which include at least one female SPE only connector (30) mounted on the housing and at least one female hybrid SPE connector (28) mounted on the housing. The hybrid SPE connector unit further comprises a PCB side of the housing providing a mechanical interface and an electrical interface for mounting and connecting the hybrid SPE connector unit to a PCB. The hybrid SPE connector unit simplifies a PCB layout and is space-saving and cost-effective. At the same time, the hybrid SPE connector unit has a high degree of functional integration.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1

The field device I / O connector (100) includes a base (10) and an I / O module (14) removably mounted on the base for transmitting I / O signals along an I / O channel. An assembly of electrical connectors (12) mounted on the base connects the base to the field device (D). The electrical connectors, the base, and the I / O module mounted on the base cooperate to define the I / O channel. The I / O channel includes conversion circuitry for converting I / O signals between a digital data format output from the field device I / O connector. The base and the I / O module also cooperate to define diagnostic circuitry connected to a portion of the I / O channel extending through the I / O module. The diagnostic circuitry extends to diagnostic logic circuitry, which may be included on the base, in the I / O module, or remotely from the field device I / O connector.

The invention relates to a plug connector coupling, in the housing (1) of which at least two female plug connectors (2, 3) are formed, which are arranged such that they are rotated by 180° relative to one another about a common axis (M). For each female plug connector (2, 3), a locking assembly (27 to 34) is provided for each cable plug. The contact elements (6, 7) of both female plug connectors belong to a common contact set (16), in which the contact elements are guided in a crossing manner and same are arranged on opposing sides and rotated by 180° relative to one another about the common axis (M). Two locking arms (27, 28) are also arranged in an opposing manner relative to the common axis (M).

Presented herein are techniques for connectors, apparatuses, and system with connectors for data and power. A connector at an end of the network cable can be configured to mate with a port in a device. The connector can include a set of data pins for connecting data wires in the network cable to the port. The connector can include a set of power pins for connecting power wires in the network cable to the port. The set of power pins can carry a higher electrical power than that carried by the set of data pins. A first spacing between adjacent power pins in the set of power pins has at least a minimum distance to reduce voltage breakdown between the adjacent power pins in the set of power pin.
