Patent ID: 8523610

Claim:
A connector comprising: (a) a printed circuit board comprising a plurality of apertures configured to receive at least a portion of a second interface connection terminal set; (b) a first interface connection terminal set comprising a plurality of conductive pads embedded to be exposed upon the printed circuit board; (c) a second interface connection terminal set comprising a plurality of springs electrically coupled to the printed circuit board; (d) a third interface connection terminal set comprising a plurality of conductive contacts electrically coupled to the printed circuit board; (e) a housing coupled to the printed circuit board and surrounding at least a portion of the first interface connection terminal set, the second interface connection terminal set, and the third interface connection terminal set; (f) a shell coupled to the housing and the printed circuit board; and (g) at least one controller electrically coupled to the printed circuit board and configured to operate the first, second, and third interface connection terminal sets; wherein the first interface connection terminal set and the second interface connection terminal set are configured to support at least two interface connection standards with interfaces that are mechanically different.
