Jack and path cord connector assembly - provides patch field and monitoring connections using appropriate interconnections between PCB and contact springs

The socket jack comprises a printed circuit board or card and circuit- making contact springs. The contact springs contact and coact with printed circuit conductors or elements on the printed circuit board to establish mutually insulated normal through circuits or current conducting paths each terminating at opposite ends in two terminals. The terminals of the normal through circuits are adapted to be connected to electrical equip. or electrical circuits located outside the jack. The contact springs are actuable by reception of a patch cord plug in the jack to open or break the normal through circuits so disconnecting the terminals of the normal through circuits from the second terminals. The normal through circuits may terminate at opposite ends in a pair of multi-terminal connectors. These multi-terminal connectors may be mounted directly on the printed circuit board. The invention may be used for interconnecting circuits of computers on data communication equip. like modems.

The naught wire plug bush conductive sheet is located between the first clapboard and the second clapboard, the earth wire plug bush conductive sheet is located between the second clapboard and the third clapboard, the live wire plug bush conductive sheet is located between the third clapboard and the fourth clapboard. The housing includes at least two jack surfaces each of which is provided with a jack. The jack is corresponding to the live wire plug bush conductive sheet, the naught wire plug bush conductive sheet and the earth wire plug bush conductive sheet.

CONNECTING CABLE, CONNECTING CABLE ASSEMBLY, AND DRIVING SYSTEM

A connecting cable (), comprising: a first end () which is arranged with a first interface () and a second interface () coupled with each other, and a second end () which is arranged with a third interface () having a centrosymmetric cross section, wherein every two interfaces of the first, the second and the third interfaces () are in electrical communication, and the third interface () is connected with at least one of the first and the second interfaces () by pluggable connection. When supplying driving circuits for actuators, each subsequent actuator can be parallelly connected through one connecting cable () with another connecting cable () of preceding actuator. In such a manner, disorders of cables in the fields can be avoided, whereby the risk of making mistakes during assembly and maintenance can be lowered. The cables can be neatly arranged in the fields. 1. A connecting cable , comprising:a first end which is arranged with a first interface and a second interface coupled with each other,a second end which is arranged with a third interface having a centrosymmetric cross section, wherein every two interfaces of the first interface, the second interface and the third interface are in electrical communication with each other, and the third interface is configured such that it can be connected with at least one of the first interface and the second interface by pluggable connection.2. The connecting cable according to claim 1 , wherein the third interface and the second interface are configured identically claim 1 , and the third interface and the first interface can be connected with each other by pluggable connection.3. The connecting cable according to claim 1 , wherein the first end comprises a first main body claim 1 , the first interface and/or the second interface are respectively provided with a first opening formed on one side of the first main body and longitudinally extending inwards from a surface of the side claim 1 , a first insulating frame ...
