A portable radio device incorporating active thermal mitigation systems, and methods of use thereof. An example radio device incorporating an active thermal mitigation system may comprise a portable radio device selectively connectable or otherwise interoperable with a power adapter or battery device, wherein the power adapter or battery device includes an active thermal mitigation system. The system may include a micro-fan, blower, or other similar device configured to generate airflow, and may be configured to direct a flow of air or other fluid towards the radio device. The system may further include one or more fins or other features for directing and/or enhancing fluid flow, as well as sensors and control features to vary flow depending on temperature of the radio device or other variables. Thus, the system allows for the continuous cooling the radio device via convection without requiring the incorporation of the active thermal mitigation system within the radio device.

Thermal mitigation device for application in radio batteries and/or adaptors and methods of use thereof

A connector includes a housing configured to accommodate a plurality of contact pins, the housing including a plurality of contact pin locations, wherein the plurality of contact pin locations include a first set of contact pin locations designated for a first channel and a second set of contact pin locations designated for a second channel, a first set of contact pins disposed at the first set of contact pin locations, the first set of contact pins configured to carry a first signal associated with the first channel, and a second set of contact pins disposed at the second set of contact pin locations, the second set of contact pins configured to carry a second signal associated with the second channel.
