"Pinout" now supersedes the term "basing diagram" which was the standard terminology used by the manufacturers of vacuum tubes and the Radio Manufacturers Association (RMA). The RMA started its standardization in 1934, collectin

TransferJet is a close proximity wireless transfer technology initially proposed by Sony and demonstrated publicly in early 2008. By touching (or bringing very close together) two electronic devices, TransferJet allows high speed exchange of data. The concept of TransferJet consists of a touch-activated interface which can be applied for applications requiring high-speed data transfer between two devices in a peer-to-peer mode without the need for external physical connectors.

A Prontor-Compur connection (also known as a PC connector, PC terminal, or PC socket) is a standard electrical connector (as defined in ISO 519) used in photography to synchronize the shutter to the flash.

Designed in response to Nokia's proprietary Pop-Port, FastPort provided data transfer, charging, headset and speaker connections through a common interface. It was discontinued in 2010 and replaced with a micro-USB for charging and data, and a TRRS connection for audio (headphones).

type of solderless electrical clamp connection. The connection is "cold-welded". This means that metal can flow between the metal conductors and the metal sleeve at the metal joints because of the continued high compression.
