ABSTRACT:
A connector apparatus for a power and/or data interface, comprised of a connector assembly (220in FIG.6) which has a positionable plug (217A) with conductors (219A-D), and an insulated shaft (243) that engages a receptacle (257) having conductors (263A and B,261A and B,259A and B,265A and B), and related elements (245, 245A, and219E-G) that redirect electrical signals upon insertion and rotation of the plug. Redirecting electrical signals enables host devices, power sources, and peripherals—such as a host device (321in FIG.7A), its battery source (299), as well as one or more attachable peripherals (309, 310, and311)—to signal transfers in ways they could not without such an apparatus. By locating a connector apparatus (220) in replaceable modules, such as battery packs (299), users can upgrade and enhance the functionality of a multiplicity of existing (and future) electronic and electrical goods.
