Abstract
A plug and socket form a simple and compact electrical connector for selectively distributing an electrical signal along different paths. The plug and socket are symmetrically arranged so that they are engageable with each other in different positions to achieve different electrical connections. The electrical connector saves printed circuit board space, minimizes parts, and improves switching flexibility in an RF signal amplification device for amplifying an RF (e.g., CATV) signal transmitted along an RF cable, and in a power coupler for coupling an AC power signal into an RF cable.
