Connectivity is the property of a device such as a PC, peripheral, PDA, mobile phone, robot, home appliance, or car that enables it to be connected, generally to a PC or another device without the need of a PC - autonomously.
The term connectivity is also used in Graph theory, where it extends the concept of adjacency and is essentially a form (and measure) of concatenated adjacency. See Glossary of graph theory.
Computer connector
A computer connector is any connector used within computers or to connect computers to networks, printers or other devices. Generally, these connectors have specific names that provide more precise identification, and use of those names is encouraged. Some common computer connectors are D-subminiature, edgecard, Centronics, USB, FireWire, BNC, RJ-11, and various pin and socket designs on 0.100 inch and 2 mm pitches. Most computer connectors are electrical or optical.
Male Connector, in computer science, a type of connector that has pins for insertion into receptacles.
Pin (computers), a slender prong used in computer circuitry.
Connector, in computer science, in hardware, a coupler used to join cables or to join a cable to a device—for example, an RS-232-C connector used to...
The connector interface structure is spring biased toward a ready-for-docking position thereof, and incorporates therein an anti-rotation structure that prevents the docking structure connector from being rotated into an undesirable pivotally buckled relationship with the incoming computerconnector portion.
Moreover, the floatingly supported docking station connector may be caused to rotate, thereby permitting it to be brought into a pivotally "buckled" relationship with the incoming computerconnector, jamming the docking movement of the computer and preventing operative telescopic mating of the computer and docking station connectors.
A first electrical connector structure is carried on the rear side of the portable computer and is used to electrically couple the computer to the docking station motherboard to thereby operatively couple the computer to the desktop computer peripheral devices.
