A shell having a high thermal conductivity may be connected to the V− pin and V− pin and further connected to a bracket for increased heat transfer away from the V+ and V− pins.

An electrical connector provided with a varistor, and to a protection device for incorporation into an electrical connector and having a varistor comprising at least two pins including a first pin which is a live (502) or neutral (504) pin and a second pin which is an earth pin (506), the first and second pins (502, 504, 506) extending through respective apertures (512) in a varistor plate (514) which has first and second faces, wherein a first conductive layer on the first face of the varistor plate (514) connects electrically to the first pin (502, 504) and a second conductive region on the second face of the varistor plate connects electrically to the second pin (506), so that in response to an excessive voltage across the first (502, 504) and second (506) pins the varistor plate will conduct electricity between the first (502, 504) and second (506) pins. The arrangement can easily be adopted in connectors conforming to existing standards, such as existing mains electrical plugs (500).

A compression connector comprises a connector body comprising an inner surface and a threaded clamp at least partially positioned within the connector body and configured to slide relative to the connector body. A contact cone is positioned within the connector body and comprises an outer surface configured to engage with the inner surface of the connector body. An insulator is positioned proximate the contact cone and defines an aperture. An inner conductor comprises a contact component comprising an inner conductor basket and a cylindrical portion extending from the conductor basket, and an interface component defining an opening configured to engage with the cylindrical portion of the contact component. The contact component, the interface component, and the insulator are held together such that they form a rigid three-piece assembly when the threaded clamp couples an end of a cable.

Connecting a waveguide and a coaxial conductor pin is disclosed. In an embodiment, a connector includes: a body, wherein the body includes a first interface configured to couple to the waveguide and a second interface configured to couple to the coaxial conductor pin; a cavity within the body, wherein the cavity takes up a region between the first interface and the second interface; and an impedance transformation structure located in the cavity.

A connector includes a cable including at least one core wire and a shielding wire arranged around the core wire with an insulating member interposed therebetween, a plug part connected to the cable and capable of fitting with a receptacle, a primary molded part including a connection portion between the core wire and a conductive member of the plug part, and a secondary molded part arranged at a lead-out portion of the cable. The dimension of the primary molded part is an outer diameter or a thickness of the plug part.

A connector that has a conductive shell that supports at least one signal contact therein. The shell comprises a front end for mating with a mating connector and a back end opposite the front end for connecting to a power or data transmission cable. A coupling member is configured to engage the conductive shell and engage a corresponding component associated with the mating connector to mechanically couple the connector and the mating connector together. A plurality of ground connections are provided at the front end of the conductive shell and the front section of the coupling member for grounding.

A coaxial cable connector comprises an inner sleeve comprising a first and second outer flange; metal inner sleeve comprising a second inner ring having a ring portion and plurality of elastic portions and a first inner ring having a second inner flange and plurality of wings; an outer sleeve comprising a fourth inner flange and engaging bump; and a nut comprising a first inner flange and threaded portion adapted to engage with an electronic device. One end of the plurality of elastic portions is connected with the ring portion and the other end comprises a fifth outer flange. One end of the plurality of wings is connected to the second inner flange and the other end to the ring portion. When the outer sleeve moves toward the nut, the engaging bump presses and enables the fifth outer flange to move toward the outer surface of the inner sleeve.
