The shell and housing insert each include a plurality of mating key features designed to provide a plurality of indexing positions for the housing insert, each index position defining an angular orientation of the housing insert relative to the shell to control a direction of the wiring exiting the electrical connector.

A connector manufacturing method includes: a first insertion process of inserting a conductor held by a housing through an annular seal member; a second insertion process of inserting the conductor through an annular portion of a support member; a pushing-in process of pushing the seal member into a gap between an inner circumferential surface of a recess in the housing and the conductor by pressing the seal member using the annular portion; and an engagement process of making the annular portion support the seal member at a predetermined position by engaging the support member and the housing, wherein the predetermined position is a position before a bottom portion of the recess.

A connection terminal is provided and includes a body, a welding pin, a first stop, a second stop, and a third stop. The body includes a pair of planar surfaces and a pair of side surfaces. The welding pin extends from an end of the body. The first stop extends outwardly from one of the pair of side surfaces, while the second stop extends outwardly from another of the pair of side surfaces. The third stop protrudes outwardly from one of pair of planar surfaces.

Disclosed herein is a shield wire grounding device of electric equipment, including: an electric equipment wire electrically connected to the electric equipment, covered by a first sheath, and having an end portion exposed to the outside of the first sheath; a shield wire installed outside the first sheath, and covered by a second sheath; an insulating member covering the exposed portion of the electric equipment; and a grounding member covering the shield wire and the insulating member, electrically connected to the shield wire, and grounded to an electric equipment housing.

Example connection ports for electronic devices are disclosed. In an example, the connection port includes a longitudinal axis, a receptacle that extends axially with respect to the longitudinal axis, and a substrate disposed within the receptacle. The substrate includes an end and a support surface that extends axially with respect to the longitudinal axis. In addition, the connection port includes a plurality of first electrical contacts on the support surface, a plurality of second electrical contacts on the end. Each second electrical contact is electrically coupled to a corresponding one of the first electrical contacts.

A wire harness includes a cable constituted of a plurality of electric wires bundled together so as to include a plurality of cable ends and a plurality of connectors mounted one-to-one on the plurality of cable ends, wherein each of the plurality of connectors includes a connector terminal connected to an end of the electric wire, a tubular housing body accommodating the connector terminal, and a flange formed to project from an outer circumferential surface of the housing body. On a fitting side for fitting with a mating connector, the flange has a rugged shape that differs between the plurality of connectors.

An electrical connection device includes a first connector and a second connector. The first connector includes an insulative body and a plurality of first terminals provided to the insulative body, the insulative body has an insertion groove, a first insertion opening which is communicated with the insertion groove and toward a first direction, a second insertion opening which is communicated with the insertion groove and toward a second direction and a stopping block which is positioned between the first insertion opening and the second insertion opening, the stopping block has a first stopping face which faces the first direction and a second stopping face which faces the second direction. The second connector includes an insulative housing and a plurality of second terminals provided to the insulative housing, the insulative housing has a mating portion and a contacting surface, when the second connector is mated with the first connector along the first direction, the mating portion is inserted into the insertion groove from the first insertion opening, and the contacting surface is stopped by the first stopping face of the stopping block, when the second connector is mated with the first connector along the second direction, the mating portion is inserted into the insertion groove from the second insertion opening, and the contacting surface is stopped by the second stopping face of the stopping block.

A multi-position conversion device and a conversion socket with the multi-position conversion device; the first pin, the second pin, the first connecting sheet and the second connecting sheet are installed together onto the main frame to modularize and integrate the conversion device; therefore, only one main frame is needed to complete the installation of the first pin, the second pin, the first connecting sheet and the second connecting sheet, and this can effectively decrease the volume of the multi-position conversion device and thus decrease the volume and weight of the whole conversion socket, prevent the conversion socket from sagging due to gravity and thus increase the corresponding user experience and safety; meanwhile, after being modularized, the multi-position conversion device is installed directly into the housing and thus can decrease the assembling steps, reduce the assembling difficulty and finally improve the assembling efficiency.

A connector has a plug housing and a termination cap housing assembly pivotably attached to the plug housing. The termination cap housing assembly has a pair of contacts secured thereto such that pivoting the termination cap housing assembly to the plug housing terminates the contacts to a pair of wires inserted into the plug housing.

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.
