Abstract

A coupler includes a housing and a contact sub-assembly. The housing includes a channel having openings at first and second ends of the housing. The first end receives a first connector having a first pair of contacts and the second end receives a second connector having a second pair of contacts. The contact sub-assembly includes exactly one pair of coupling contacts and a body portion supporting the pair of coupling contacts. The contact sub-assembly is positioned centrally within the housing and includes an anti-rotation feature and one or more crush ribs to create an interference fit with an interior surface of the housing. The pair of coupling contacts serve to couple the first and second connectors for both power and data transmission. In certain embodiments, contacts sub-assembly utilizes a circuit board to electrically couple contacts.

Claims (25)

1. A coupler comprising:

a housing including a channel having openings at a first end and a second end of the housing, the first end receiving a first connector and the second end receiving a second connector, the first connector having a first pair of contacts and the second connector having a second pair of contacts; and

a contact sub-assembly including exactly one pair of coupler contacts and a body portion supporting the exactly one pair of coupler contacts, the contact sub-assembly being positioned centrally within the housing and including an anti-rotation feature, and the exactly one pair of coupler contacts electrically coupling the first pair of contacts with the second pair of contacts.

2. The coupler of claim 1 , wherein the body portion supports the anti-rotation feature.

3. The coupler of claim 2 , wherein the anti-rotation feature is of a greater width than a width of the body portion.

4. The coupler of claim 2 , wherein the body portion of the contact sub-assembly includes a pair of latch arms that interface with openings in the housing.

5. The coupler of claim 1 , wherein the anti-rotation features include a crush rib that creates an interference fit with an interior surface of the housing.

6. The coupler of claim 2 , wherein the body portion includes a plurality of crush ribs that create an interference fit with an interior surface of the housing.

7. The coupler of claim 1 , wherein the housing is of a symmetric configuration.

8. The coupler of claim 1 , wherein the contact sub-assembly is of a symmetric configuration.

9. A coupler, comprising

a metal housing having a first end that receives a first connector and a second end that receives a second connector; and

a contact sub-assembly including a body supporting exactly one pair of coupling contacts, the body including a plurality of crush ribs to establish an interference fit with an interior surface of the metal housing, the exactly one pair of coupling contacts comprising a first coupling contact and a second coupling contact, each of the first and second coupling contacts contained within the metal housing and each of the first and second coupling contacts electrically coupling the first connector with the second connector while maintaining electrical polarity.

10. The coupler of claim 9 , wherein the first coupling contact crosses over the second coupling contact to maintain electrical polarity.

11. The coupler of claim 9 , wherein the metal housing includes a first pair of opposing bonding contacts at the first end and a second pair of opposing bonding contacts at the second end.

12. The coupler of claim 11 , wherein each contact of the first and second pair of bonding contacts are individually retained within a recess in the interior surface of the metal housing.

13. The coupler of claim 9 , wherein the metal housing is of a symmetric configuration.

14. The coupler of claim 9 , wherein the contact sub-assembly is of a symmetric configuration.

15. The coupler of claim 9 , wherein the contact sub-assembly includes a pair of latch arms that interface with openings in the metal housing.

16. The coupler of claim 9 ,

wherein the first connector has exactly two contacts comprising a first contact and a second contact, the first contact coupled to a first electrical conductor and the second contact coupled to a second electrical conductor, and

wherein the second connector has exactly two contacts comprising a third contact and a fourth contact, the third contact coupled to a third electrical conductor and the fourth contact coupled to a fourth electrical conductor,

wherein the first coupling contact electrically couples the first contact of the first connector with the third contact of the second connector while maintaining electrical polarity, and

wherein the second coupling contact electrically couples the second contact of the first connector with the fourth contact of the second connector while maintaining electrical polarity.

17. The coupler of claim 16 , wherein the first connector transmits both power and data through the coupler to the second connector.
