The present disclosure discloses a modular strain relief assembly and a method for providing strain relief for the junction of an electrical cable and an electrical connector. The strain relief assembly comprises a connector adapter, a cable adapter and a ball-joint connector. Each of the connector adapter, the cable adapter and the ball-joint connector comprises a first section and a second section. The first section of each of the connector adapter, the cable adapter and the ball-joint connector comprises pins. The second section of each of the connector adapter, the cable adapter and the ball-joint connector comprises sockets. The pins are allowed to mate with the sockets to join the first section and second section of each of the connector adapter, the cable adapter and the ball-joint connector, respectively.

A ground shield includes a plurality of contact members configured to contact the ground contacts of a column of contacts of an electrical connector, so as to electrically common the grounds to each other.

Provided is a connector including: at least one plate-like housing body; a plurality of groove-like terminal housing chambers each opened in an upper surface of the housing body and parallelly arranged; a plurality of connection terminals provided at ends of a plurality of electrical wirings and housed and disposed in the terminal housing chambers, respectively; an electrical wiring support part supporting the plurality of electrical wirings extending from a back end side opening part of the terminal housing chambers; a sheet-like reinforced member which is placed on an upper surface of the electrical wiring support part and the plurality of electrical wirings are fixed to in a state of parallelly arranged; and a cover part overlapping with the upper surface of the housing body to cover the terminal housing chambers and sandwiching the sheet-like reinforced member between the cover part and the electrical wiring support part.

Provided is a connector including: at least one plate-like housing body; a plurality of groove-like terminal housing chambers each opened in an upper surface of the housing body and parallelly arranged; a plurality of connection terminals provided at ends of a plurality of electrical wirings and housed and disposed in the terminal housing chambers, respectively; an electrical wiring support part supporting the plurality of electrical wirings extending from a back end side opening part of the terminal housing chambers; a sheet-like reinforced member which is placed on an upper surface of the electrical wiring support part and the plurality of electrical wirings are fixed to in a state of parallelly arranged; and a cover part overlapping with the upper surface of the housing body to cover the terminal housing chambers and sandwiching the sheet-like reinforced member between the cover part and the electrical wiring support part.

A protective cover for a connector can having a top cover having a top cover connector end and a top cover cord end, a bottom cover pivotally connected to the top cover having a bottom cover connector end and a bottom cover cord end, a bias applying a force to cause the top cover cord end to abut the bottom cover cord end, and a connector void disposed on the bottom cover for receiving a connector adjacent a connector tray for supporting the connector. A cord with a connector can be inserted into the protective cover for a connector through the bottom cover. The cord can be inserted through the cord void and the connector can be inserted through the connector void. The protective cover can then be displaced slightly to allow the connector to rest on the connector tray.

A connector includes a housing and an electric wire cover assembled with the housing. The housing includes a terminal housing portion and an electric wire leading portion. A locking rib protruding outward is formed on the electric wire leading portion. An assembling portion is formed on an end part of the electric wire cover facing to the housing. The assembling portion includes a locking protrusion and a catching portion protruding more than the locking protrusion in a mounting direction of mounting the electric wire cover on the housing. The catching portion includes a sliding face inclined with respect to the mounting direction. When the electric wire cover is mounted on the housing, the sliding face makes contact with the electric wire leading portion, thereby the assembling portion is displaced outward.

The present invention provides a waterproof structure for a terminal of a wire with a terminal fitting provided with a waterproof block made of resin, the waterproof block covering an end portion of an insulation coated wire which is coupled to a terminal fitting. The waterproof block includes a waterproof portion covering a coupling portion coupling the end portion of the wire and the terminal fitting, the waterproof portion adhering to an outer circumferential surface of an end of an outer skin of the wire, and a cylindrical portion projecting cylindrically from the waterproof portion along the outer skin of the wire. The cylindrical portion has a smaller cross sectional area than the waterproof portion and has rigidity more similar to the outer skin than the waterproof portion in desired bending and torsional directions of the wire and is adhered to an end-adjacent outer circumferential surface of the outer skin.
