A socket includes power-supply blade receivers and a grounding blade receiver for retaining power-supply plug blades and a grounding plug blade of a plug, respectively. Each of the power-supply blade receivers includes a power-supply retaining portion and a power-supply contact portion. The grounding blade receiver includes a grounding retaining portion and a grounding contact portion which is installed further on the upstream side in the insertion direction of the plug than a position which is spaced away from the power-supply contact portion to the downstream side in the insertion direction by less than the certain distance. The grounding retaining portion is spaced away by the certain distance or more from the power-supply retaining portion to the downstream side in the insertion direction.

An electrical connector includes a housing having a base with signal and ground contact openings therethrough and contact modules coupled to the base. Each contact module includes a dielectric holder holding signal contacts having mating portions received in corresponding signal contact openings and extending into a chamber for mating with a mating electrical connector. A ground shield is coupled to the dielectric holder having a plurality of rails. At least two of the rails have ground hoods extending forward of the mating end of the dielectric holder along the mating portions of the signal contacts. The ground hoods are received in corresponding ground contact openings and extend into the chamber for mating with the mating electrical connector.

A plug connector suitable for use as an airbag squib connector is presented. The plug connector includes a connector housing, having a plug-in portion and at least one female contact terminal that is arranged at least partially in the plug-in portion. The plug connector further includes a grounding contact, having an intermediate section and a contact section formed from sheet metal. The sections have respective main surfaces and circumferential edges. The contact section is configured to electrically contact a corresponding grounding contact of a counter-connector. The intermediate section branches off from the contact section. The main surfaces of the intermediate section and the contact section are parallel to the mating direction.

An adapter plug and an electronics housing includes an adapter plug of this kind, and a valve comprising an electronics housing of this kind. The valve has at least one electric actuator. The adapter plug has at least one receptacle for an actuator-side electrical contact element and a receptacle for an electronics-side electrical contact element. The two receptacles are electrically connected to one another. A main body of the adapter plug is designed for insertion into a recess of a wall portion of the electronics housing, which wall portion faces the actuator. The main body can be fastened to an edge of the recess with tolerance or play so as to be able to compensate for positional deviations of the at least one actuator relative to the electronics housing.

A connector includes inner conductors and an outer conductor. The outer conductor includes four plate portions surrounding outer peripheral surfaces of the inner conductors, a rear plate portion for closing a rear surface of the outer conductor and an opening provided behind the bottom plate portion and in front of the rear plate portion. The inner conductor includes a board connecting portion projecting outwardly of the outer conductor through the opening. The outer conductor includes a common base end portion connected to a rear end of the bottom plate portion via a bent portion and projecting toward the same side as the board connecting portion, and a plurality of branched pieces projecting from a projecting end of the common base end portion while being arranged in a width direction of the common base end portion.

Technology is provided for a pass-through connector including a connector body having first and second end portions. The first end is configured as an internal style connector and has a pair of receptacle openings. The connector body also includes a second end portion configured as an external style connector and has a pair of receptacle openings. A conductive shroud is attached to the second end portion of the connector body and can include mounting flanges to facilitate attachment to a panel or bulkhead. Terminal conductors are disposed in the connector body and extend between the pairs of receptacle openings. The terminal conductors are configured to releasably engage a plug of a Mini-SAS HD cable assembly, for example, when coupled to the first or second end. Each terminal conductor is a single continuous piece of conductive material to directly connect the cable assembly connectors together with minimal impedance discontinuity.

The device allows simple ground contacting of the shielding of a coaxial line, in particular a parallel ground contacting. For this purpose the connection holder has a housing for receiving preferably multiple coaxial lines which are fed through the housing in a parallel manner. A ground contacting strip lies in the housing, and the shieldings of the coaxial lines, which are stripped in a contact region, are placed against the ground contacting strip and clamped thereagainst.

The invention relates to a system consisting of a first plug connector module (2) and a second plug connector module (3), each of which is to be used in a modular industrial plug connector. The first plug connector module (2) has a first shield transfer element (5), and the second plug connector module (3) has a second shield transfer element (6). A cable connected to the plug connector module (2, 3) can be secured on a connection side (A) of each shield transfer element (5, 6), and the shield transfer elements (5, 6) can be brought into electric contact with each other on the plug side.
