International Classification:

H01R 24/00

US Classification:

439676, 439638

Abstract:

A connector system includes a first connector part including at least one first cavity formed therein. The first connector part has at least one first contact. The system includes a second connector part including at least one second cavity formed therein. The second connector part is complementary to the first connector part such that when the first and second connector parts mate together. The first and second cavities are at least partially aligned and the first and second contacts are placed in electrical contact with one another. The system also includes a printed circuit board sub-assembly including a printed circuit board, a plurality of spring contacts that are electrically coupled to the printed circuit board. The sub-assembly has a stabilizing element that includes a plurality of vanes with the spring contacts being disposed between the vanes. The sub-assembly is securely disposed within the first connector part such that the spring contacts are accessible along both a front surface thereof and along an opposite second surface thereof.

Abstract:

A power outlet box for housing electronics and powering electronic displays suspended in a retail environment may include a first housing portion including a first set of vertical support features and a second set of vertical support features. A second housing portion may include a third set of vertical support features and a fourth set of vertical support features. The power outlet box may have (i) a closed configuration when the first and third sets of vertical support features are aligned and (ii) an open configuration when the second and fourth set of vertical support features are in contact with one another. The second set of vertical support features may be adapted to support the fourth set of vertical support features when the power outlet box is in the open configuration. A power supply device may be fixedly positioned within the power outlet box when in the closed configuration.
