A connection system includes a connector, a mating connector and a locking unit disposed on the connector and having a locking member. The connector and the mating connector each have a housing with a contact carrier disposed therein. The contact carriers are each connected to a signal conductor. The connector is movable in a mating direction into a connected position with the mating connector, in which the signal conductors are conductively connected. The contact carriers each have a through-opening disposed transverse to the mating direction. In the connected position, the through-openings are in alignment with each other, and the locking member is movable between a locking position, in which the locking member is located in the through-openings of both contact carriers, and an unlocking position, in which the locking member is located outside of the through-opening of at least one of the contact carriers.

Embodiments disclosed herein relate to a high frequency connector system with reduced stub lengths that provide improved performance at high frequencies. A first connector includes a plurality of mating contacts designed to electrically connect to a second plurality of mating contacts associated with a second connector. The first connector includes one or more elastic members such that when the second connector is mated to the first connector, the one or more elastic members are compressed between the first and second connectors. The first and second plurality of contacts overlap by a first distance when initially mated, but when the connectors are released, the first elastic member biases the second connector away from the first connector such that the first and second plurality of contacts overlap by a second distance smaller than the first distance.

An example electrical connector includes a body to receive a circuit board. The body includes a first end and a second end. The electrical connector also includes a first latch rotatably attaches to the first end. The electrical connector further includes a second latch rotatably attaches to the second end. The electrical connector further includes a link member attached to the body. In response to a rotation of the first latch, the link member is to slide across the body from the first latch towards the second latch to rotate the second latch.

An actuator device includes a locking displaceable element and a manual operation element that are displaceably disposed in a fixed portion. The locking displaceable element is displaceable to locked/unlocked positions. The manual operation element engages with the locking displaceable element and displaces the locking displaceable element to lock/unlocked positions via manual operation. The fixed portion includes locking displaceable element stoppers and manual operation element stoppers. The locking displaceable element includes locking displaceable element stopper abutment surfaces. The manual operation element includes manual operation element stopper abutment surfaces. When the manual operation element is operated, the manual operation element stopper abutment surfaces abut against the manual operation element stoppers by to stop displacement of the manual operation element before the locking displaceable element stopper abutment surfaces abutting against the locking displaceable element stoppers.

An arc prevention system including a jack having a receptacle, a modular connector sized to be positioned in the receptacle of the jack, the modular connector including a plurality of contacts, with at least two of the contacts creating an energized electrical path with an external power source in electrical communication with the external power source, a latch extending from a top surface of the modular connector, a switching unit positioned on the latch, a plug unit positioned between the latch and the jack that prevents the modular connector from moving out of the receptacle, a control circuit in electrical communication with switch and the at least two energized contacts, where the electrical path between the control circuit and the switching unit is energized when the plug engages the switching unit on the latch, and the control circuit adjusts the energized electrical path to a predetermined electrical level.

A refrigerator including a cabinet in which an electronic device is disposed, a cooling module provided with a cooling air supply system and detachably mounted on an outer side of the cabinet, a cabinet connection device electrically connected to the electronic device and including a cabinet fixing member fixed to the cabinet and a cabinet connector bufferably mounted to the cabinet fixing member, and a module connection device electrically connected to the cooling air supply system and including a module fixing member fixed to the cooling module and a module connector bufferably mounted to the module fixing member.

An optical fiber connector includes: a cylindrical connector body; an optical fiber connection assembly disposed within the connector body proximate to a proximal end of the connector body, the optical fiber connection assembly including a support and at least one elongate member fixed to and extending through the support, the elongate member being configured to couple an optical fiber of an optical fiber cable; a locking assembly for holding the optical fiber cable, the locking assembly being disposed proximate to a distal end of the optical fiber connection assembly; and a sealing element disposed at a distal end of the optical fiber connector, the sealing element being configured to seal the connection between the distal end of the optical fiber connector and an outer periphery of the optical fiber cable.

The present disclosure provides a coupling system for coupling a medical accessory to an accessory support is provided. The present disclosure also provides a system for powering a medical accessory with an accessory support.

An electronic module for a modular patient care system is disclosed. The electronic module can include a housing having an attachment side configured to releasably attach to an adjacent electronic module. A latch mechanism can be configured to engage a catch member on the adjacent electronic module to secure the attachment side to the adjacent electronic module. An electrical connector positioned on the attachment side can be configured to electrically connect to an adjacent electrical connector on the adjacent electronic module. A sensor coupled to the housing can be configured to detect movement of the latch mechanism indicative of at least one of engagement or disengagement of the latch mechanism from the adjacent electronic module.

A substrate for contacting an electrical pin arranged in a housing includes a base having a recess receiving the electrical pin, a metal leadframe having a contacting region electrically and/or thermally contacting the electrical pin, and a contact pin extending along a mating direction in a plane parallel to the metal leadframe and configured to electrically contact a mating contact pin of a mating connector. The metal leadframe is rigidly fixed to the base to prevent a relative movement between the metal leadframe and the substrate. The substrate is movable with respect to the housing along a locking direction from an unlocked position where the substrate is not locked to the housing to a locked position in which the substrate is locked to the housing. A movement of the contacting region with respect to the electrical pin is prevented in the locked position.
