A breakaway coaxial cable connector includes a conductive body configured to engage a cable. The conductive body is configured to be selectively coupled to an interface port to maintain electrical connectivity between the cable and the interface during operation of the connector when a first tension force below a predetermined threshold level is applied between the cable and the interface port, and the conductive body is configured to be selectively de-coupled from the interface port so as to interrupt electrical connectivity between the cable and the interface port during operation of the connector when a second tension force above the predetermined threshold level is applied between the cable and the interface port.

The present invention discloses a connector for a photovoltaic cell. The connector comprises a conductive portion and an insulating portion, wherein the conductive portion is wrapped with the insulating portion; the conductive portion is composed of a conductor and a cable line which are riveted with each other, and a retaining ring is arranged on the outer circumferential surface of the conductor; the insulating portion comprises a shell body, a basket-shaped fastener and a front sleeve; a first inner step surface and a second inner step surface are arranged in an inner cavity of the shell body; the front sleeve has an annular head part which sleeves the conductor; a first outer step surface is arranged at a tail part of the front sleeve, and props against the first inner step surface; the inner diameter of the head part of the front sleeve is larger than the outer diameter of the conductor and less than the outer diameter of the retaining ring. According to the connector disclosed by the present invention, the front sleeve for bearing a stress generated by the retaining ring during a forward extrusion process of the conductor is increased, such that the risks such as cracks originally appearing on the shell body and the like are transferred, and the service life of the whole connector is prolonged.

A vehicular camera includes a front housing portion that accommodates a lens and an imager, a circuit board disposed at the front housing portion, a rear housing portion and a coaxial connecting element at the rear housing portion. The coaxial connecting element includes a first coaxial connector portion and a second coaxial connector portion. The first coaxial connector portion extends outward from the rear housing portion and the second coaxial connector portion extends inward from the rear housing portion. The circuit board has a coaxial connector established thereat. When the rear housing portion is mated with the front housing portion, the second coaxial connector portion electrically connects to the coaxial connector to electrically connect the coaxial connecting element with circuitry at the circuit board. The first coaxial connector portion is configured to connect to a coaxial cable of a vehicle when the vehicular camera is disposed at the vehicle.

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.

Assembly comprising a first part and a second part movable relative to each other in translation along a connection axis between a locked configuration and an unlocked configuration. The first part comprises one of a rail and a groove, and the second part comprises the other, the rail being configured to slide axially in the groove. The assembly comprises a ring rotatably mounted on the first part about the connection axis, the ring comprising at least one pin. The second part defines a locking ramp, a first housing and an unlocking ramp. The assembly comprises a return system for exerting a return force on the ring to a position of rest. The locking ramp and the first housing are so designed that a manual movement causes a first sliding of the pin on the locking ramp, and an automatic movement of the ring angularly in one direction between the position of rest and a first intermediate position, then an automatic displacement of the ring angularly in the opposite direction from the first intermediate position to a locking position under the action of the return system, the pin being received in the first housing, the first housing defining a first axial stop designed to block the pin axially. The unlocking ramp is so designed that a manual movement of the rotating ring in said direction from the locking position releases the pin from the first housing and causes a second sliding of the pin on the unlocking ramp, the unlocking ramp reacting axially on the pin to move the first part and the second part away from each other from the locked configuration.

A vehicular camera includes a front housing portion having a lens, a circuit board having circuitry established thereat, and a rear housing portion having a connector for electrically connecting to a connector end of a wire harness of the vehicle when the camera is disposed at the vehicle. The rear housing portion includes internal wall structure establishing internal surfaces of the rear housing portion. The connector of the rear housing portion includes a coaxial connector having a center conductor and an outer conductor. The center conductor and the outer conductor electrically connect to circuitry at the circuit board. An electrically conductive metallic shield element is disposed within the rear housing portion and corresponds with the internal wall surfaces of the rear housing portion.

An electrical connector is provided for electrically coupling two electrical components. Opposing ends of the connector are coupled to each of the electrical components. At the first end, the connector is disposed in an opening of the first electrical component to establish electrical connection. The first end includes multiple contact portions that are equally biased against the sides of the opening.

A latch indicator apparatus for indicating a locked status of an attachment between a cable housing and a cable receptor. The latch indicator apparatus includes a latch indicator attached to a cable housing at an attachment point, a first resistive element having a first resistance, and is attached to the cable housing at the attachment point. The restive element of the latch indicator attaches to an indicator tab. The latch indicator includes an indicator window, which is positioned to indicate a locked status of the latch indicator based on the first resistance of the first resistive element. The latch indicator tests a connection between a cable housing and a cable housing by indicating a locked status. The locked status is indicated by exerting a first force on the indicator tab by pulling the indicator tab in a direction away from the connection between the cable housing and the cable receptor.
