In a connector assembly in which a first connector that includes a first insulator, first terminals, and a first shell and is mounted on a first board and a second connector that includes a second insulator, second terminals, and a second shell and is mounted on a second board are connected with each other, a first ground pattern that has a frame-like shape and is formed on the first board is soldered to the first shell with first solder, and a second ground pattern that has a frame-like shape and is formed on the second board is soldered to the second shell with second solder. An inner space in which the first terminals and the second terminals are positioned is completely shielded from the outside without any gap.

A rotary plug electrical connector includes a plug and a socket, both of which include power contacts and signal contacts. The plug is rotatable within the socket between operable and inoperable positions. The power contacts of the socket include opposed surfaces which are engaged by resilient blade power contacts of the plug. The signal contact of the socket preferably includes a pair of contacts, and the signal contact of the plug preferably is a bridge contact that engages the socket signal contacts in the operable position and disengages the socket signal contacts in the inoperable position. When the signal contacts are disengaged, no power is transferred by the connector.

An underwater connector half includes a base and at least two electrical connection terminals respectively connected to two electric wires received in at least one cable. The two electrical connection terminals are ring-shaped and coaxial about an axis located along a direction of assembly of a complementary connector half and the base has a side wall that is parallel to the axis and through which passes the cable. An underwater connector including such a connector half is also disclosed.

An EMI filtering, coaxial power connector may be formed as an inline component or a port of a device. The connector may have dimensions to accept F-type coaxial connectors. The connector includes a conductive outer shell with a first opening and a second opening. A dielectric member is disposed within the shell. A conductive pin is supported by the dielectric member. A feed-through capacitor has a central opening and a first lead formed within the central opening. The pin is electrically connected to the first lead. A second lead of the capacitor is formed at an outer perimeter of the capacitor and is electrically connected to the shell. A metal plate is mounted within the shell. The plate is disk-shaped with a central hole. An outer perimeter of the plate is in electrical contact with the shell. The pin passes through the central hole without making electrical contact with the plate, and the plate resides between the second opening of the shell and the capacitor.

A power tool, which includes a receiving device having at least one receiving element and a power supply unit connectable to the power tool, for example a rechargeable battery, which includes a connecting device, the connecting device having at least one contact element, the receiving device being designed to receive and hold the connecting device, so that the at least one receiving element and the at least one contact element are connectable to each other for establishing an electrical connection. A damping element is provided on at least one contact element, whereby the at least one contact element is movable in a first direction and a second direction as well as relative to the particular receiving element, so that it is possible to counteract a relative movement between the contact element and the particular receiving element when the contact element and the receiving element are connected to each other.

The present invention provides for an analog audio patchbay comprising a first plurality of connectors capable of receiving a plurality analog electronic signals, a second plurality of connectors capable of transmitting a plurality of analog electronic signals, and a circuit board extending from the first plurality to the second plurality.

A first connector and a second connector of this connector assembly can mutually connect along the vertical direction. The first connector comprises a first housing provided with a sliding surface, a locking surface, and a receiving surface. The locking surface intersects, at an angle of 90° or less, with a line segment extending straight upward from the locking surface. The second connector comprises a second housing provided with a spring section and a locked section. The locked section can move forward and backward as the spring section elastically deforms. The locked section has a locked surface. When the second connector is in a separated state of being separated from the first connector, the locked surface intersects, at an angle of 90° or less, with a line segment extending straight upward from the locked surface. In a fitting step, the locked section moves downward while being pressed against the sliding surface. The locked section abuts the receiving surface upon moving downward on the sliding surface.
