REVERSIBLE RECEPTACLE CONNECTOR

摘要

Embodiments relate to a receptacle assembly for connecting to a plug of a connector. The receptacle includes a first contact on a first side of an insulating member. The first contact electrically connects to a first plug contact when the connector engages with the receptacle in a first orientation. The receptacle includes a second contact on a second side of the insulating member. The second contact electrically connects to the first plug contact when the connector engages with the receptacle in a second orientation. The second contact extends to a printed circuit board and is connected to the first contact via a first conductive bridge at a first location closer to the printed circuit board than the first plug contact. The first and second contacts are connected via a second conductive bridge at a second location closer to the first plug contact than the first conductive bridge.
