Abstract
Description
【Technical field】
[0001] The present invention relates to a method, especially a method for disposing electrical connectors by using a key device and using these electrical connectors to form a system, in which electrical connectors with different positioning keys will not be mismatched. 【Background technique】
[0002] Every calculator system requires a power connector. For example, the power supply of a personal computer requires at least four cable assemblies for power output: one cable each for the motherboard, hard disk, optical drive, and floppy disk to provide power, and in some cases more cable assemblies are required for the power supply. The end of each cable assembly is an electrical connector with a positioning device, and the connector can be a male connector with pin terminals or a socket connector. Because of the possibility of incorrect mating between male and female connectors, it is necessary to provide mismating protection.
