Abstract: Circuitry such as electrical components and wires and traces on flexible printed circuits can be embedded within injection-molded plastic structures. The electrical components can include integrated circuits, connectors, and system-in-package circuit modules. The system-in-package circuit modules may include components mounted on a substrate and covered with plastic. The connectors may include a connector for mating with a corresponding connector on an electronic device or a battery. The injection-molded plastic structures may form a housing. The housing may form part of an electronic device, an external case that receives an electronic device, or other structures. A near-field communications antenna may be embedded within a plastic housing. Signal wires and plastic fibers may be interlaced to form a mesh that is embedded in the plastic housing or other injection molded plastic structure.

Abstract: An electrical connector system for communication or power transfer between a two connectors in which the first of the two connectors may be inserted into a receptacle of a second connector in order to align a coil within the first connector with a coil within the second connector to promote inductive communication between the first and second connector. In many embodiments, at least one of the two coils may also be used as a spring, providing a mechanical force. The mechanical force may assist in joining or separating the connectors. For example, the spring coil may be used in conjunction with a push-push mechanism to retain the first connector within the second connector and to eject the first connector when the connectors should be separated.

Abstract: A connector includes a housing that includes an engagement member and defines a recess that is configured to receive a retaining structure of a corresponding connector of a device, and a release. When the connector is mated with the corresponding connector of the device, the release is configured to cause movement of the engagement member to displace the retaining structure from the recess.

Abstract: Magnetic connector systems including a plug connector and a connector receptacle. In one example, the plug connector can include a magnetic target around a signal pin, where the signal pin is insulated from a plug enclosure by an insulating housing. The connector receptacle can include a magnet that is attracted to the magnetic target. The connector receptacle can contact the plug enclosure using one or more conductive springs. The one or more springs can deflect during an insertion of the plug enclosure. In another example, this deflection can act to expel moisture from the connector receptacle through drip holes in an enclosure for the connector receptacle.
