Problems solved by technology

Due to the lower spring force of this plug and the shorter length of the plug, the fit within the socket is less than satisfactory, which may lead to undesired disconnection of the plug

Embodiment Construction

[0032] figure 1 A perspective view of the accessory connector 10 for plugging into the system connector of the portable electronic device is shown. The device is preferably a cellular phone, but could also be some other type of device. The device can also be, for example, a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant), a palmtop computer, a laptop computer, a portable game console and a smartphone. The accessory connector is typically used to connect accessories, such as hands-free kits, to the phone. Of course there are many other types of accessories that can be connected to the phone, such as additional keyboards, chargers, MP3 players or cameras. To achieve this, the accessory connector 10 comprises a plurality of electrical interfaces 11 provided between two plugs 12 according to the invention. The plug 12 ensures a secure mechanical connection of the connector to the system connector, thereby ensuring electrical contact between the electrical interface 11 of the connector and a c...

Abstract

Plug (12) for insertion into a socket (24), comprising a first (13) and a second (15) spaced apart bar, each having a first essentially rigid section (14) and a second essentially flexible section (16) shaped for releasable engaging of the socket. The plug is adapted to allow safe mechanical connection and release of the mechanical connection in ordinary use as well as to allow disconnection of the connection if too strong a mechanical force in the wrong direction that might break the bars is applied. The height of the plug is also limited so that it can be used for very thin portable electronic devices, like cellular phones of the clamshell type.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of plugs for insertion into sockets, and more particularly to plugs for use in connectors to be connected to system connectors of portable electronic equipment. Background technique [0002] Today, portable electronic devices such as cellular phones are becoming smaller and smaller. For this reason, it is often necessary to make the system connectors especially for charging the battery of the device have a smaller height, which necessitates the use of new designs for fitting plugs in these system connectors to ensure safe contact. This requirement is particularly important in so-called clamshell phones, which have two bodies that can be folded into one another, and only one of which includes the system connector. However, there is still the problem of ensuring that no damage occurs when the plug is bent during insertion into the socket. [0003] The Ericsson plug for system connectors based on 3V and 4V platforms us...
