A coaxial cable-connector assembly includes: (a) a coaxial cable comprising an inner conductor, a dielectric layer circumferentially overlying the inner conductor, an outer conductor circumferentially overlying the inner conductor, and a polymeric jacket circumferentially overlying the outer conductor; (b) a connector adapter, comprising an inner contact that is electrically connected to the inner conductor, an outer sleeve that is in electrical contact with the outer conductor, and a dielectric spacer interposed between the inner contact and the outer sleeve, and (c) a coaxial connector having an outer connector body, the outer connector body having a mating end configured to mate with a mating connector and an adapter ring, the adapter ring configured to engage and electrically connect to the outer sleeve.

A connector assembly includes a connector body defining a plurality of cavities, extending longitudinally through the connector body. The cavities are configured to receive inner terminal housings configured to hold electrical terminals attached to electrical cables disposed within the cavities. The connector assembly further includes a retaining device slidably attached to the connector body and moveable from a pre-staged position to a staged position. The retaining device allows the inner terminal housings to be inserted or removed from the cavities when in the pre-staged position and inhibits the inner terminal housings from being inserted or removed from the cavities when in the staged position.

Provided is a connector module that is highly durable and that also allows easy position alignment with a connection target instrument while maintaining high shielding performance. The connector module includes a connector case and a connector inserted in the connector case. The connector includes a contact, a holder, a conductive tubular shell, a housing and a conductive shield case. The shield case includes a first member having an elastic portion and a second member in the form of a bottomed tube. The first member forms an elastic piece contactable with the second member. Fixing of the connector case to a main body case via a fastener member causes, in the connector, elastic deformation of the elastic piece, resulting in decrease in a gap between the first member and the second member, consequently in establishment of electrical connection between the first member and the second member.

An electrical connector for an electrical cable having a contact element for connection to an electrical conductor of the electrical cable. The electrical connector has an integrated cleaning tool for the electrical conductor. The cleaning tool is arranged along a feed direction for the electrical cable on the cable side upstream of the contact element. It is provided that the cleaning tool is designed to remove or at least retain particles, residues of a sheathing and/or contaminants adhering to the electrical conductor before the electrical conductor contacts the contact element of the electrical connector arranged downstream in the feed direction within the scope of a connector assembly process.

An electrical plug connector for a cable has a compression sleeve and a stop element that is axially adjacent to and connected to the compression sleeve. The compression sleeve has an inner lateral surface thread that is screwable to an outer lateral surface thread of an outer conductor of the cable. The outer conductor is clampable between the compression sleeve and an axial end region of the stop element, and in an assembled state, a longitudinal axis of the compression sleeve, is tilted relative to a longitudinal axis of the stop element; or b) a normal vector of a plane spanned by an edge between an end face and an inner lateral surface of the stop element is rotated by orientation angle (φ.sub.A) relative to the longitudinal axis of the compression sleeve; or c) the edge has a helical course in a longitudinal axis direction of the plug connector.

A surgical stapling instrument includes a body portion and a tool assembly extending from the body portion. The tool assembly includes a jaw member, and a first connector assembly disposed within the jaw member. The first connector assembly includes a first connector housing and first and second connector members extending from the first connector housing. The surgical stapling instrument further includes a cartridge assembly selective receivable within the jaw member. The cartridge assembly includes a second connector assembly configured for electrical connection with the first connector assembly. The second connector assembly includes a second connector housing and first and second contact members disposed within the second connector housing. The first and second connector members of the first connector assembly are configured to engage the respective first and second contact members of the second connector housing when the cartridge assembly is received within the jaw member of the tool assembly.

A short-circuit probe for short-circuiting an inner conductor with an outer conductor in a multiway coaxial plug includes an electrically-conductive contact spring comprising a holding and stabilizing section and a contacting section. The contacting section is bent and comprises an inner-conductor contact section and an outer-conductor contact section. A housing comprises: a receiving space; an inner-conductor insertion opening in a first end face, via which the short-circuiting inner conductor of the multiway coaxial plug can be inserted into the receiving space and can be brought into contact with the inner-conductor contact section; and a laterally and/or radially aligned outer-conductor contacting opening, wherein the outer-conductor contact section of the contact spring passes through the outer-conductor contacting opening and can be brought into contact with the outer conductor. The contact spring is arranged inside the receiving space and extends over a predominant length of the housing.

An electrical receptacle including a body having a plurality of electrical connections, a device face connected to the body and movable with respect to the body, a plurality of electrical plug contacts positioned behind the device face, and wherein the electrical plug contacts retain an electrical plug prong at a first tension when the device face is in a first position and the electrical plug contacts retain the electrical plug prong at a second tension when the device face is in a second position.
