Abstract
Aspects described herein relate to at least a portion of a connector configured to support wireless communications that includes multiple chambers, each at least partially enclosed by a continuous isolation structure to provide electrical signal isolation and defining an inner surface. At least one terminal in a first chamber of the multiple chambers is configured for a first interface, and at least one terminal in a second chamber of the multiple chambers is configured for a second interface.
Claims26
A plug configured to support wireless communications, comprising:
- multiple chambers, wherein each chamber of the multiple chambers is at least partially enclosed by a continuous isolation structure and defines an inner surface;
- and
- at least one terminal within the inner surface of each of the multiple chambers, wherein at least a first terminal in a first chamber of the multiple chambers is configured for a first interface, and wherein at least a second terminal in a second chamber of the multiple chambers is configured for a second interface.
A method for manufacturing a printed circuit configured to support wireless communications, comprising:
- forming at least a portion of a connector having multiple chambers and at least one terminal within each of the multiple chambers, wherein each chamber is at least partially enclosed by a continuous isolation structure;
- coupling at least a first terminal in a first chamber of the multiple chambers to a first line on the printed circuit for a first interface;
- and
- coupling at least a second terminal in a second chamber of the multiple chambers to a second line on the printed circuit for a second interface.
A receptacle configured to support wireless communications, comprising:
- at least two terminals configured for a first interface and a second interface;
- and
- an isolation portion at least partially enclosing each of the at least two terminals in respective chambers, wherein the isolation portion forms part of a continuous isolation structure, at least when coupled with a plug having at least two different terminals that couple to the at least two terminals.
