An assembly for covering at least a portion of a connector portion and at least a portion of a cable includes: a temperature sensitive portion; and a cord portion. The temperature sensitive portion is configured to have a pre-shrink length prior to being heated and a post-shrink length after being heated; wherein the post-shrink length is smaller than the pre-shrink length; the cord portion is configured to have a length after the temperature sensitive portion is heated that is greater than the post-shrink length of the temperature sensitive portion; and a difference between the post-shrink length of the temperature sensitive portion and the length of the cord portion after the heating permits a user to remove the temperature sensitive portion from a connector portion and a cable without using a sharp tool and thereby avoid cutting the connector portion or the cable when removing the temperature sensitive portion.

A cable connector assembly includes a contact holder holding first and second contacts in contact channels terminated to ends of conductors of a cable. The contacts have mating ends forward of the front of the contact holder. The cable connector assembly includes a contact shield coupled to the contact holder having a base and a shroud. The base surrounds a base chamber that receives an end of the cable and the contact holder and provides electrical shielding at first and second interfaces. The shroud surrounds a shroud chamber that receives the mating ends of the first and second contacts to provide electrical shielding along the mating ends of the first and second contacts.

The invention relates to an electrical plug-in connection, comprising an electrical connector and a mating electrical connector, which can be connected to the electrical connector. The mating electrical connector has an actuating element, which can be moved between a home position (P.sub.0) and a locking position (P.sub.1) and is designed to cooperate with a guiding element of the electrical connector in such a way that the plug-in connection, proceeding from a pre-latching position, assumes a locked position when the actuation element is moved from the home position (P.sub.0) into the locking position (P.sub.1). The electrical connector has a toothing and the mating electrical connector has a mating toothing, which corresponds to the toothing of the electrical connector, the toothing and the mating toothing mesh with one another in the locked position of the plug-in connection.

A connector comprises an inner conductor, an outer conductor basket and an annular abutment/alignment guide disposed therebetween. The inner conductor socket transmits RF signals from one connector portion to another connector portion across a mating interface. The outer conductor basket comprises a plurality of axially projecting fingers operative to electrically ground the connector. The annular abutment comprises an outwardly facing abutment surface and an alignment guide disposed integrally with the annular abutment. The alignment guide has a flanged end portion projecting: (i) radially outboard from an upper or forward end of the annular abutment and (ii) over the tip ends of each axially projecting basket finger. The annular abutment: (a) inhibits inward radial displacement of the axially projecting fingers, (b) prevents plastic deformation of the basket fingers upon annular abutment of a non-mating connector, and (c) aligns a mating connector so as to prevent damage to the basket fingers upon joining the mating connector.

A network communication device includes communication circuitry configured to communicate signals over a network cable, and a connector configured to connect to the network cable. The connector includes one or more signal terminals, an inner shield connection and an outer shield connection. The one or more signal terminals are configured to connect to one or more signal conductors of the network cable for communicating the signals. The inner shield connection surrounds the one or more signal terminals and is connected to a circuit ground of the communication circuitry. The outer shield connection surrounds the inner shield connection and is connected to an additional ground of the network communication device, the additional ground being different from the circuit ground.

A coaxial cable connector includes a body configured to engage a coaxial cable having a conductive electrical grounding property, a post configured to engage the body and the coaxial cable when the connector is installed on the coaxial cable, a nut configured to engage an interface port at a retention force, and a conductive insert received inside the nut. The conductive insert is configured to increase the retention force between the nut and the interface port so as to provide an electrical ground connection between the interface port and the nut when the nut is in a loosely tightened position on the interface port, and/or the conductive insert is configured to make the electrical ground connection with the interface port before a center conductor of the coaxial cable makes an electrical connection with an internal contact of the interface port when the nut is coupled with the interface port.

A connector includes: a cylindrical terminal to be electrically connected with a cylindrical counterpart terminal; an internal terminal located in the cylindrical terminal; and a housing holding the cylindrical terminal. The cylindrical terminal has a contact portion configured by bending a plate-shaped conductor into a cylindrical shape to contact one edge portion of the conductor with the other edge portion of the conductor. The one edge portion has a recessed shape at its circumferential end portion by reducing its thickness outwardly in a radial direction of the cylindrical terminal to configure one reduced thickness portion. The other edge portion has a recessed shape at its circumferential end portion by reducing its thickness inwardly in the radial direction to configure the other reduced thickness portion. The contact portion is configured by overlapping the one reduced thickness portion and the other reduced thickness portion.

A connector includes a connector housing and a shield shell. A terminal electrically connected to an end part of a wire is arranged inside the connector housing. The connector housing includes an inserting portion to be inserted into a mounting hole provided in a conductive case for accommodating an inverter and an outer arrangement portion integral with the inserting portion and to be arranged outside the case. A case-side sealing member seals between the outer peripheral surface of the inserting portion and the inner peripheral surface of the mounting hole. The shield shell is electrically connected to the case and covers the outer periphery of the outer arrangement portion. The inserting portion includes a first intrusion suppressing groove continuously provided over the entire periphery of the inserting portion in a part of the outer peripheral surface of the inserting portion between the case-side sealing member and the outer arrangement portion.

A connector includes a terminal and a housing. The terminal is configured to be connected to an electric wire. The housing is configured to contain the terminal. The housing includes a heat sink configured to absorb heat generated in the terminal. The heat sink is a part of a skeleton component forming the housing.

A connector includes: an electric wire; a terminal connected to the electric wire; a housing having a housing space to house a connection portion of the electric wire and the terminal; a seal member to seal an opening portion of the housing space to isolate the connection portion housed in the housing space from an outside; and a heat storage member located in the housing space.
