A poke-in terminal includes a main body, a tab terminal socket at a mating end, and a wire socket at a terminating end. The tab terminal socket includes walls forming a tab terminal receptacle configured to receive a tab terminal. Upper and lower beam contacts extend into the tab terminal receptacle to interface with the tab terminal. The wire socket includes walls forming a wire receptacle configured to receive a wire. Poke-in retention beams extend into the wire receptacle to interface with the wire when poked into the wire socket. The wire socket includes a wire release element configured to be actuated to release the poke-in retention beams from the wire.

A cable connector relates to a field of cable connecting technology. The cable connector includes a main body assembly including an insulating main body and conductive main bodies, a first clamping assembly, and a second clamping assembly. The conductive main bodies are disposed on the insulating main body. Two ends of each of the conductive main bodies extend outwards from bottom portions of the first accommodating groove and the second accommodating groove. The two ends of each of the conductive main bodies are sharp structures. The first clamping assembly includes a first clamping piece movably disposed up and down in the first accommodating groove and a first operating piece disposed on the insulating main body. The second clamping assembly includes a second clamping piece movably disposed up and down in the second accommodating groove and a second operating piece disposed on the insulating main body.

A cable connector is provided having a backshell defining an interior chamber, wherein the backshell has a cable-guide-through-opening, through which a cable can be guided into the interior chamber; and the cable connector has a strain-relief member for providing a strain-relief to the cable. In order to make an inexpensive and easy to assemble cable connector, that allows multiple sizes of cables or a bundle of cables to enter the backshell by providing sufficient clamping force such that the cable or cables is/are not easily removed, the backshell has at least a first recess extending to the interior chamber; the strain-relief member is adapted to be fixed to an exterior of the cable, and the strain-relief member protrudes from the interior chamber into the first recess for providing the strain-relief to the cable.

A magnetic latching connector for making electrical connections between cables, electrical power and signal sources, equipment and the like in a variety of medical and other applications in which it is desired to have the connection maintained with a predetermined amount of magnetic attractive force. The magnetic latching connector generally includes male and female connector components. The male and female connector components comprise male and female couplings and male and female coupling housings. The male and female coupling housings enclose electrical connections between the male and female couplings and electrical cables. Recessed within the male and female couplings are electrically conductive pins and sockets and male and female magnetic latching elements. When the male and female connector components are coupled, the pins and sockets provide electrical connections and the recessed magnetic latching elements provide a predetermined magnetic attraction force to maintain the connections.

A telecommunications connector includes a connector body and a shield attached to the connector body, the shield including a main body portion configured for attachment to the connector body and a barrel portion for crimping against a cable to be terminated to the connector. The barrel portion of the shield includes a corrugated side wall made up of a series of bends extending along a direction from the rear end of the barrel toward the front end of the barrel along at least a portion of a length of the barrel, wherein the bends defining the corrugated side wall are provided on the shield at a pre-crimped stage.

A device for the sealed closing of an opening for one or more elongate parts to pass through includes a sealing and/or clamping element with at least two interacting first and second parts that are axially displaceable relative to one another, and a pressure contour acting axially onto the sealing and/or clamping element. A first axial displacement of the pressure contour and an axial displacement of the at least one second part relative to the at least one first part causes a first change in geometry of the at least one first part transversely to the displacement direction. Also, a further axial displacement of the pressure contour causes a further change in geometry of the at least one first part transversely to the displacement direction such that the opening is sealed around the one or more elongate parts passing therethrough.

The present invention is provided with: a terminal metal fitting to which a core wire exposed portion of a core wire of a terminal of a wire is physically and electrically connected; a housing inside which the terminal metal fitting and the terminal of the wire are housed and from which the wire is drawn outside from inside; and a wire holding member that holds, inside the housing, the terminal of the wire, in which the wire holding member has a fixed portion that is fixed to a fixing portion inside the housing, and a holding portion that holds the terminal of the wire so that the terminal of the wire does not move relatively to the housing when the fixed portion is fixed to the fixing portion.

A modular communications plug is disclosed having a simplified design that allows for more efficient termination of a cable into the plug. The plug includes modular components that are applicable to different applications.

A connector assembly or wiring unit that includes one or more wiring cables, each cable unit including one or more wires surrounded by a cable shield, a connector backshell, and a ferrule disposed such that the one or more wires are arranged on an outer surface of the ferrule. In one embodiment, the connector assembly or wiring unit also includes a conductive shield sock electrically coupled to the connector backshell. The shield sock surrounds the ferrule and is in electrical contact with the cable shield of each of the one or more wiring cables.

A power cord slide connector coupling includes a power cord, a low-profile connector coupled with the power cord, a receptacle including a housing with a concave opening sized to receive the low-profile connector in an insert direction, and a plug disposed in the receptacle and configured to electrically engage the low-profile connector. The plug includes contact members that are positioned such that with the low-profile connector in the concave opening, the plug engages the low-profile connector by displacing the low profile connector in a connect direction, perpendicular to the insert direction.
