20110189885 | CONNECTOR ASSEMBLY HAVING A SOCKET WITH A TRANSFORMER AND A PLUG WITH A SWITCH WITH A MAGNET - A connector assembly includes a socket connector with a transformer circuit and a plug connector that is releasably fit to the socket connector. The plug connector includes a slidable power switch containing a magnet and a magnetic detection element that detects the magnetic field of the magnet. When the slidable power switch changes position to bring the magnet close to the magnetic detection element, a closed circuit is formed and a power supply is activated. When the magnet is moved away from the magnetic detection element, the circuit is open and the power supply is cut off. The plug connector has a front end with a rotatable water-tight collar. The socket connector includes a closure cap arranged at an end for temporarily engaging an external thread of the socket connector in order to protect the assembly when the socket connector is engaged with the plug connector. | 08-04-2011 |
