A lighting assembly is presented herein. The lighting assembly includes a receptacle terminal having a connection portion defining an aperture configured to receive a corresponding plug terminal along a longitudinal axis and a terminal housing defining an opening and a cavity in which the connection portion is disposed.

An electric connection plug (5, 5′, 5″) for an electric cable (3) for use with an electric terminal (20, 21, 20′, 21′) of a battery module (2, 2′). The plug includes a conductive fitting (51, 51′, 51″) engaged with a rotatable wheel (56, 56′, 56″) for selectively rotating the fitting to threadingly mechanically and electrically connect to plug to the battery terminal. The cable mechanically and electrically connects to the plug allowing rotation of the wheel and fitting without rotation of the cable while threadingly engaging and disengaging the plug to the battery terminal.

A heater device for a vehicle is described. The heater device include a plurality of heating elements, a printed circuit board, a first bus-bar, and a second bus-bar. The first bus-bar having a first set of connecting legs is formed in a first side of the first bus-bar. The first set of connecting legs is adapted to be connected with a first set of heating elements amongst the plurality of heating elements. The second bus-bar having a coupling element is formed in a first side of the second bus-bar to couple with a first side of the PCB. Further, a second set of connecting legs is formed adjacent to the coupling element and adapted to be coupled to the first side of the PCB. The second set of connecting legs is adapted to connect with a second set of heating elements amongst the plurality of heating elements.

A heating device (100) for a vehicle, includes a Printed Circuit Board (11), at least one heating element (20a,20b,20c), a bus bar (30,31) and a terminal pin (42). The Printed Circuit Board (11) is received inside a casing (12) along one bus bar (30,31). The bus bar (30,31) includes at least one bus bar terminal (30a,30b,30c,31a,31b,31c), wherein at least one bus bar terminal (30a 30b 30c 31a,31b,31c) connects a corresponding heating element (20a,20b,20c) to the Printed Circuit Board (11). The terminal pin (42) is integrally formed with at least one bus bar terminal (30a,30b,30c,31a,31b,31c) and is disposed outside the casing (12).

First and second connectors and an electrical connector assembly are provided. The first connector comprises: an insulating base; a magnetic attraction metal piece which is fixed into the base; a magnet which sheathes the base and is attached to the metal piece; a first terminal which is fixed to the base; and a metal shell which covers the magnet. The second connector comprises: a magnetic attraction metal ring; a fixing base which is integrated with the metal ring; and a second terminal which is correspondingly received in the fixing base. The magnet and the metal ring are correspondingly magnetically attracted, so that the metal shell and the metal ring are attached to each other and the first terminal and the second terminal are electrically connected. The first connector and the second connector can be stably mated with each other and facilitate miniaturization of an electronic device.

Downhole connection assemblies include a connector to receive a conductor and pin at opposite ends. The connector includes a first electrical collet, a separate second electrical collet and a sleeve. The first collet includes a first recess in a first end to receive the conductor and a second recess in a second end to receive the pin. The second collet is positioned around the pin and separated from the first collet. The sleeve is positioned around the pin, first collet and the second collet. Downhole cables include a center electrical conductor, a first insulator positioned around the center conductor, a second insulator positioned around the first insulator, and a pressure tube surrounding the second insulator. The cable further includes one or more slots extending axially along a length of the second insulator, or one or more slots extending axially along an inner diameter of the pressure tube.

A female connector structure is provided with a shielded cable configured such that an outer periphery of a coated wire including a core and an insulation coating is surrounded by a braided wire, a female terminal including a wire barrel to be connected to the core and a connecting tube portion and to be connected to a mating terminal, an insulating dielectric for surrounding an outer periphery of the connecting tube portion of the female terminal, a rear outer conductor including a shield connecting portion to be electrically connected to the braided wire and a dielectric crimping portion to be crimped to at least a part of the dielectric from outside, and a front outer conductor including a front tube portion for surrounding an outer periphery of the dielectric and a rear outer conductor locking portion for locking at least a part of the dielectric crimping portion from outside.

A connector housing includes a housing body, a sealing member interposed between an outer circumferential surface of the housing body and an inner circumferential surface of a mating housing body to seal a space between the outer circumferential surface and the inner circumferential surface, a restriction wall portion standing on the outer circumferential surface of the housing body and positioned on a side of the rear opening with respect to a position of the sealing member, and a restriction flexible piece formed on a circumferential wall of the housing body and formed in a cantilever beam shape, the restriction flexible piece being configured such that a projection of a free end thereof is pushed up by a connector terminal so the free end protrudes from the outer circumferential surface, and the free end restricts movement of the sealing member toward the side of the connection side opening.

A connector assembly comprises a resilient primary lock for securing a wire terminal with a housing, a primary lock reinforcement (PLR) device, and a PLR actuator for moving the PLR device between pre- and fully-staged configurations. The PLR device is configured to move in response to contact by the PLR actuator as the housing components are mated together. The PLR actuator includes an elongated, tapered finger that wedges against the PLR device during housing mating. A method of reinforcing a primary lock of a connector assembly is also described.
