A receptacle connector assembly is presented herein. The receptacle connector 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. The connection portion is sized, shaped, and arranged within the cavity to be movable along a lateral axis perpendicular to the longitudinal axis.

A lighting system includes an electrical arrangement, a reflector housing and a ceramic socket arrangement. The ceramic socket arrangement includes at least one socket housing and at least one sliding connector received in the socket housing. The sliding connector includes a resilient terminal, a base configured from ceramic material and having an engagement track adapted for accommodating the electrical terminal of the illuminating element, and a sliding member configured from ceramic material and connected to the base in a slidably movable manner. The sliding member is arranged to slide between an unlocked position and a locked position. In the unlocked position, the sliding member is slid to expose the engagement track to an exterior of the sliding connector. In the locked position, the sliding member is slid and retained to cover the engagement track and to electrically connect the resilient terminal to the electrical terminal of the illuminating element.

An electrical connection system includes a first electrical connector assembly and a second electrical connector assembly. The first electrical connector assembly includes a first housing and a first terminal assembly supported by the first housing. The second electrical connector assembly includes a second housing, a second terminal assembly supported by the second housing, at least a portion of the second terminal assembly being movable relative to the second housing between an extended position and a retracted position, and a biasing member that biases the second terminal assembly toward the extended position. The first terminal assembly and the second terminal assembly contact each other to establish an electrical connection upon arranging the first electrical connector assembly and the second electrical connector assembly near one another.

A connection cable is provided with a plurality of structures, a first connector, and a second connector. The plurality of structures include a concave-shaped structure and a convex-shaped structure. The first connector includes the concave-shaped structure and the convex-shaped structure that are arranged in line symmetry with respect to a predetermined reference line. The second connector includes the concave-shaped structure and the convex-shaped structure that are arranged in line symmetry with respect to a predetermined reference line.

An electromagnetic valve (11) includes an electromagnetic valve-side connector unit (55, 65). A base (30) includes a base-side connector unit (80, 90) to which the electromagnetic valve-side connector unit (55, 65) is connected. The base (30) includes an insertion port (43, 44) into which the electromagnetic valve-side connector unit (55, 65) is inserted. The base-side connector unit (80, 90) is disposed inside the insertion port (43, 44). The electromagnetic valve (11) includes a protrusion (56, 66). The base (30) includes a recess (87, 97) configured to guide the protrusion (56, 66). When the protrusion (56, 66) is guided by the recess (87, 97), the electromagnetic valve-side connector unit (55, 65) is inserted into the insertion port (43, 44) without interfering with a section of the base (30) around the insertion port (43, 44) and is connected to the base-side connector unit (80, 90).

A connection system to facilitate the mechanical coupling, and the transfer of electrical power between, trunk sections of an artificial tree is disclosed. The connection system can include a mechanical coupling system having a male connector configured to mate with a female connector. At least one of the male and female connectors including an anti-twist component configured to mate with a receiving cavity of a trunk collar such that the trunks are prevent from rotating once assembled.

A substrate connection structure includes a tubular member, a first substrate, a second substrate, a first connector, a second connector, a first pin, and a guide member. The tubular member has a bottom portion and an opening side. The first substrate is disposed on either the bottom portion or the opening side. The second substrate is disposed on either the bottom portion or the opening side opposite to the first substrate. The first connector is disposed on the first substrate. The second connector is disposed on the second substrate and is connected to the first connector. The first pin is disposed on the first substrate. The first pin projects such as to extend from the first substrate along a direction of connection between the first connector and the second connector. The guide member is disposed on the second substrate. The guide member has a guide hole.

A connection cable is provided with a plurality of structures, a first connector, and a second connector. The plurality of structures include a concave-shaped structure and a convex-shaped structure. The first connector includes the concave-shaped structure and the convex-shaped structure that are arranged in line symmetry with respect to a predetermined reference line. The second connector includes the concave-shaped structure and the convex-shaped structure that are arranged in line symmetry with respect to a predetermined reference line.

Provided is an electronic device assembly. The electronic device assembly includes an electronic device and a data cable. The electronic device includes a housing, and the housing has a data interface. The data cable includes a cable body, a connection plug, and a fixing structure. The connection plug is disposed at one end of the cable body, and the fixing structure is disposed on a side of the connection plug. When the connection plug is plugged in the data interface, the fixing structure can fix the connection plug to the housing.

This disclosure relates generally to coupling a furniture accessory to a furniture apparatus. One embodiment provides a method of electrically coupling at least one electrical contact on a furniture accessory to at least one electrical contact on a furniture apparatus. The method may comprise positioning a portion of an elongate body, coupled to the furniture apparatus, in a space between at least two retaining bodies of a retainer coupled to the furniture accessory such that the at least two retaining bodies contact an exterior surface of the elongate body on at least the portion of the elongate body and retain at least the portion of the elongate body in the space. Positioning the portion of the elongate body in the space may comprise electrically coupling at least one electrical contact of the furniture accessory with at least one electrical contact of the furniture apparatus.
