ABSTRACT:
A connector assembly for power and/or data connections, comprised of a connector apparatus (210in FIGS.2A and B) which has a configurable plug (102A) with conductors (123A and B, and125A and B), and a multi-segmented pin-style assembly (127) that engages a receptacle (189) having conductors (193, 195, 197, and199), and related elements (178) that redirect electrical signals upon insertion of the plug. Redirecting electrical signals enables host devices, power sources, and peripherals—such as a host device (168), its battery source (187), as well as one or more attachable peripherals (150, 152, 154, 156, 158, 160, 162and164in FIG.1)—to transfer signals in ways they could not without such an apparatus. By locating a receptacle (189) in replaceable modules, such as battery packs (187), users can upgrade and enhance the functionality of a multiplicity of existing (and future) electronic and electrical goods.
