A work machine, such as a hauler at a mining site, includes a conductive linkage connected to a conductor rod for receiving multiple poles of electrical power from a current collector sliding on a surface of a power rail. The conductive linkage includes trailing arms substantially parallel to each other and attached by lower joints to the current collector and by upper joints to the conductor rod. The lower joints and the upper joints have multiple axes of rotation and enable the trailing arms to move laterally and vertically with respect to the surface of the at least one power rail in response to movement of the work machine, while conducting the electrical power from the current collector to the conductor rod.

In a structure in which a cable is installed into a connector is provided. A back retainer is arranged in a compressed state between an inner circumferential surface of a cylindrical portion, included in a connector body and extending in the axis line direction, and an outer circumferential surface of the cable. The back retainer includes a main annular portion which is configured such that a compression amount on the back retainer in the radial direction centered on the axis line direction gradually increases as the compression amount goes from one side toward the other side. The back retainer includes an engaging protrusion configured to prevent the back retainer from detaching from the cylindrical portion on an outer circumferential surface of the back retainer.

A connector assembly for use in a medical device system is provided. The connector assembly includes a female connector including a jack and at least one female electrical contact disposed in the jack, where the at least one female electrical contact includes an outer ring and leaf springs extending both radially inward from the outer ring and longitudinally along the jack. The connector assembly also includes a male connector including a plug adapted to be inserted into the jack of the female connector, and at least one male electrical contact disposed on the plug, where the at least one male electrical contact is configured to electrically couple to a corresponding female electrical contact of the at least one female electrical contact by contacting the plurality of leaf springs of the corresponding female electrical contact when the plug of the male connector is inserted into the jack of the female connector.

A connector includes a terminal fitting, a housing that houses the terminal fitting at a housing complete position, and a terminal retaining member that, at an assembling complete position to the housing, retains the terminal fitting remaining at the housing complete position. The terminal fitting includes a penetration hole. The terminal retaining member includes a retaining protrusion that is, at the assembling complete position, inserted into the penetration hole at the housing complete position, and retains the terminal fitting while the terminal fitting remains at that position. The penetration hole is formed to have a left-right asymmetric shape including a first hole part on the left side and a second hole part having a shape different from a shape of the first hole part and arranged on the right side of the first hole part.

A connector includes: a plate-shaped conductor having a through hole through which a fastening member is inserted; a housing holding the conductor and having an abutment surface; a nut having a screw hole into which the fastening member is screwed, and fixed to the housing along a first direction that is a direction in which the conductor extends; a support member fixed to the housing and restricting the nut from escaping from the housing; and a holding structure holding the nut, wherein the abutment surface is a surface against which a side surface of the nut abuts, such that the screw hole is positioned to be concentric with the through hole, and the holding structure holds the nut in a state where the side surface of the nut abuts against the abutment surface.

A terminal connection structure includes a first terminal, a second terminal, and a terminal guide. The first terminal includes a held portion. The second terminal includes a plate-shaped base portion, a pair of holding portions projecting from one end of the base portion to hold the held portion from both sides, and a plate-shaped bridge portion projecting from the other end of the base portion in a direction crossing relative to the base portion. The terminal guide includes a guide hole having one end at which the first terminal is disposed, and the other end from which the second terminal is inserted.

A power distributor (200) with at least two incoming lines (101-103) and a method for manufacturing such a power distributor is suggested. Each incoming line comprises a conductor (106,107) and an individual screen (114). The conductors of the incoming lines are connected at a connection point (V1,V2), which is enclosed by a screen shield (201) that contacts each individual screen (114) of the incoming lines. The screen shield (201) is made from electrically conducting plastic material. Screen shields made from electrically conducting plastic material is easier to manufacture and less expensive than metal screen shields.

An electrical connector assembly includes a cable connector equipped with a locking device essentially composed of an operation part pivotally mounted to the case, and a locking part pivotally mounted to the operation part, and a host connector equipped with a locking ear for locking with the locking part wherein the host connector forms a forward protrusion to form an outer region and an inner region each provided with a sealing member adapted to be compressed in the front-to-back direction by locking mechanism.

The invention relates to a plug-in connection (1) for connecting, in particular, electrical lines, comprising at least a female connecting element (2) and a male connecting element (3), wherein the female connecting element (2) interlockingly receives the male connecting element (3) and wherein the two connecting elements (2, 3) can be detachably frictionally connected while in interlocking contact, wherein a region (4) of the male connecting element (3) that enters into connection is coaxially tapered and comprises at least one slidable contact body (5), which is arranged within the male connecting element in a first position and protrudes from the male connecting element (3) in a second position. The invention further relates to a use of such a plug-in connection (1). The invention further relates to a method for connecting, in particular, electrical lines by means of a plug-in connection (1).

An electronic device includes an inlet including a ground terminal having a first surface and a second surface opposite from the first surface, a first casing metal plate configured to hold the inlet and contacting the first surface of the ground terminal, and a second casing metal plate contacting the second surface of the ground terminal.
