Abstract:
An intelligent connector assembly for use in an interface between a device and a cable, including: a block having a circuit thereon, the block being configured to be received onto a housing, with alignment features on the housing and the block such that the block is receivable in only one orientation into the housing, and a plurality of external interfaces on the block. A method of simultaneously fabricating a plurality of circuit blocks for aligned positioning onto the housing of individual connectors, by: simultaneously fabricating a plurality of blocks on a single sheet of material; cutting a repeating pattern of holes across the single sheet; and separating the single sheet into sections such that each individual block is disposed on an identically shaped section of the single sheet.
