Connectors for delivery of power
First Claim
1. A connector operable with a computing device, the connector comprising:
- a connector insert comprising a first plurality of electrical contacts configured to electrically couple with a second plurality of electrical contacts in the computing device via an opening through a side surface of the computing device, when the connector is mated with the computing device; and
a non-magnetic connector insert housing having a cavity within which the connector insert is housed, the non-magnetic connector insert housing being configured to mechanically couple with the computing device at a top surface of the computing device, when the connector is mated with the computing device.

Abstract
A connector includes a connector insert comprising a first plurality of electrical contacts configured to electrically couple, in a mated position, with a second plurality of electrical contacts within a connector receptacle housing accessible via a first surface of a computing device; and a non-magnetic connector insert housing configured to mechanically couple, in the mated position, with a second surface of the computing device. A computing system includes a connector insert comprising a first plurality of electrical contacts; a computing device comprising a connector receptacle housing accessible via a first surface of the computing device, the connector receptacle housing comprising magnetic elements and a second plurality of electrical contacts configured to electrically couple, in a mated position, with the first plurality of electrical contacts in the connector insert; and a non-magnetic connector insert housing configured to mechanically couple, in the mated position, with a second surface.
