Принадлежит:

A polarity control circuit receives signals from contacts of a flat connector when the flat connector is connected to a port, where the port is engageable with the flat connector in any of plural orientations of the flat connector. The polarity control circuit applies polarity processing to the input signals to produce output signals at a target polarity. 1. A sink device , comprising:a port comprising a profile to engage with a flat connector including a power contact and a reference contact, wherein the port is engageable with the flat connector in any of plural orientations of the flat connector; anda polarity control circuit connected to the port to apply polarity processing to signals corresponding to the power and reference contacts to produce output power signals at a target polarity regardless of an orientation of the flat connector when connected to the port.2. The sink device of claim 1 , wherein the port has a first contact and a second contact to engage with respective ones of the power contact and the reference contact of the flat connector.3. The sink device of claim 2 , wherein the polarity control circuit includes a full-wave rectifier to receive signals from the first and second contacts of the port claim 2 , and to produce the output power signals at the target polarity.4. The sink device of claim 2 , wherein the first contact is laterally spaced from the second contact in just one direction.5. The sink device of claim 1 , wherein the port is a non-coaxial port.6. The sink device of claim 1 , further comprising a magnet to magnetically attract the flat connector to the port for engaging the flat connector to the port.7. The sink device of claim 1 , wherein the port has a plurality of contacts claim 1 , the plurality of contacts to:electrically connect to the power contact and reference contact of the fiat connector; andelectrically connect to data contacts of the flat connector.8.
