Abstract
An enhanced safety serial bus connector (100) is provided. The enhanced safety serial bus connector (100) includes a shell (110) with a first end (110a) and a second end (110b), the first end (110a) being a terminal end of the shell (110) and having a terminal centerline (CL), and the second end (110b) being the lead end of the shell (110). The enhanced safety serial bus connector (100) also includes an insulating body (120) disposed inside the shell (110) and extending from approximately the first end (110a) to the second end (110b) and a plurality of conductors (130) substantially disposed in the insulating body (120) and extending from the first end (110a) to the second end (110b). The plurality of conductors (130) include contacts (132) that are proximate the first end (110a) and have contact centerlines (X, Y) that are substantially parallel to the terminal centerline (CL), wherein each conductor (130a-130d) of the plurality of conductors (130) are spaced apart from an adjacent conductor (130a-130d) with a distance that substantially conforms to spacing requirements of a serial bus standard that defines a voltage on the plurality of conductors (130) and is equal to or greater …
