ABSTRACT:
A multi-stage, multi-pole connector provides improved connectivity with electronic devices having mating receptacles of differing form factors. In one aspect, the connector includes a hollow base plug portion, a hollow tip plug portion, and a series of conductive lines extending within the base plug portion and the tip plug portion. Both the base plug portion and the tip plug portion share the same longitudinal axis and are each formed with one or more discrete conductive contacts electrically isolated from one another. The tip plug portion extends axially from the base plug portion and has a smaller outside diameter along the length of the tip plug portion than the average outside diameter along the length of the base plug portion. This configuration causes the connector to step down in form factor to a smaller cross-sectional size moving from the base plug portion to the tip plug portion.
