Connector assembly
First Claim
1. A connector assembly, comprising:
- a first connector coupled to a first electronic device, comprising;
a first housing; and
a magnetic member installed inside the first housing and for generating magnetic field; and
a second connector coupled to a second electronic device and detachably mated with the first connector, the second connector comprising;
a second housing; and
a magnetic sensor disposed in the second housing, the magnetic sensor sensing the magnetic field generated by the magnetic member when the second connector mates with the first connector, so as to drive the second electronic device to power the first electronic devicea control unit coupled to the magnetic sensor, the control unit controlling the second electronic device to power the first electronic device when the magnetic sensor senses the magnetic field generated by the magnetic member, wherein the control unit is a circuit board connected to the second housing.

Abstract
A connector assembly includes a first connector and a second connector. The first connector is coupled to a first electronic device, and the second connector is coupled to a second electronic device and detachably mated with the first connector. The first connector includes a first housing and a magnetic member. The magnetic member is installed inside the first housing and for generating magnetic field. The second connector includes a second housing and a magnetic sensor disposed in the second housing. The magnetic sensor senses the magnetic field generated by the magnetic member when the second connector is mated with the first connector, so as to drive the second electronic device to power the first electronic device.

14. A connector assembly, comprising:
-
a first connector coupled to a first electronic device, comprising; a first housing; a first contact set fixed inside the first housing, each of the first contacts has a contacting surface; and a first shell member covering the first housing; and a second connector coupled to a second electronic device and detachably mated with the first connector along a mating direction, a normal of the contacting surface being not parallel to the mating direction, the second connector comprising; a second housing; a second contact set fixed inside the second housing, an end of each of the second contacts contacting the contacting surface of the corresponding first contact and sliding along the contacting surface from a first contact position to a second contact position when the second connector mates with the first connector along the mating direction; and a second shell member covering the second housing, the magnetic member attracting the second shell member, such that the second connector mates with the first connector, wherein the first shell member abuts against the second shell member when the second connector mates with the first connector, such that the first shell member is electrically connected to the second shell member. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17)
