Abstract

The present disclosure relates to connector inserts, connector receptacles, and connector systems. Connector inserts and receptacles that provide a clear response to the user when the connector insert is properly inserted into the connector receptacle. One example may provide a connector system that provides a tactile response to a user when a connector insert is properly inserted into a connector receptacle. In other examples, the responses provided to the user may also be audible. Insertion of a connector insert into a connector receptacle may follow a force profile including an insertion profile defined by a generally monotonically increasing resistance from the start of insertion until the insertion peak is reached, followed by a final mating position Click through events.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates generally to connectors, and more particularly to connector inserts, connector receptacles, and connector systems. Background technique [0002] Whenever a user interacts with an electronic device, the user may evaluate the quality of the device. A pleasant experience can get a positive evaluation from the user, and after a while, the user can get the impression that the device is of high quality and that the company that made the device can be trusted to make a reliable device. This interaction can occur whenever a user inserts a connector insert into a receptacle on an electronic device. [0003] Electronic devices typically transmit and receive power through cable assemblies. These cable assemblies may include a connector insert (or plug) at one or more ends of the cable. The connector insert can be plugged into a connector receptacle on an electronic device, thereby forming one or more conductive paths for signals ...
