Again, embodiments of the present invention may provide connector receptacles that may be located in, and may connect to, various types of devices, such as portable computing devices, tablet computers, desktop computers, laptops, all-in-one computers, wearable computing devices, cell phones, smart phones, media phones, storage devices, portable media players, navigation systems, monitors, power supplies, adapters, remote control devices, chargers, and other devices. These connector receptacles may provide pathways for signals that are compliant with various standards such as Universal Serial Bus (USB), High-Definition Multimedia Interface? (HDMI), Digital Visual Interface (DVI), Ethernet, DisplayPort, Thunderbolt?, Lightning?, Joint Test Action Group (JTAG), test-access-port (TAP), Directed Automated Random Testing (DART), universal asynchronous receiver/transmitters (UARTs), clock signals, power signals, and other types of standard, non-standard, and proprietary interfaces and combinations thereof that have been developed, are being developed, or will be developed in the future. In various embodiments of the present invention, these interconnect paths provided by these connector receptacles may be used to convey power, ground, signals, test points, and other voltage, current, data, or other information.

In a specific embodiment of the present invention, a connector receptacle may provide contacts for more than one type of interface. For example, contacts for one or more data interfaces, such as a UART, USB, DVI, Ethernet, or other type of data interfaces may be included. Also, contacts for one or more testing interfaces, such as JTAG, DART, or TAP testing interfaces may be included.
