A rotary connector device body in which a rotator and a stator are assembled so as to be relatively rotatable has a housing space that can house an FFC inside. The rotary connector device body has a viewing window that is a through hole through which the housing space is viewed from outside of the rotary connector device body, a cover member disposed at the viewing window so as to cover the viewing window, an outer regulating portion facing outside of the rotary connector device body and disposed so as to be able to contact an outer surface of the cover member, and an inner regulating portion facing the housing space and disposed so as to be able to contact an inner surface of the cover member. The cover member is disposed between an outer regulating portion and an inner regulating portion.

In an example, an apparatus includes a body moveable relative to a housing, a port coupled to the body, and a guide member to guide the body between positions to reveal the port. In another example, an electronics device includes a port area defined by a housing, a cover to cover the port area in a first orientation, a guide to allow the cover to rotate to a second orientation to reveal the port area, and a positioner member to bias the cover into the first orientation or the second orientation.

A plug-in connection box for vehicles has a socket and a return apparatus. The socket, is accessible from an access side and has an insertion direction. The socket is arranged in a pivot body, which is mounted in a movable manner in relation to a receptacle in such a way that the insertion direction of the socket is pivotable at an angle in all directions starting from a stationary state of the pivot body. The return apparatus is configured to return the pivot body to the stationary state.

A connection unit includes: a body having peripheral edges; magnets, at least one of which being disposed on each side of the peripheral edges of the body; and electrode terminals, at least three of which being disposed on the each side of the peripheral edges of the body. An outer surface of the body has a curved surface. The electrode terminals are disposed along the curved surface or the surface having the polygonal cross section of the outer surface. The electrode terminals disposed on the peripheral edges of the body have either: one positive electrode terminal and two negative electrode terminals, or one negative electrode terminal and two positive electrode terminals.

A charging socket for a power supply arrangement for supplying a motor vehicle with electrical energy via a conductive plug connection has at least one electrical mating contact for conductively contacting a contact of a charging station. The electrical mating contact is displaceably mounted with respect to a central longitudinal axis of the charging socket in the radial direction between a first mating contact position and a second mating contact position different from the first mating contact position, wherein the charging socket has an adjusting ring which is mounted rotatably about the central longitudinal axis and has at least one adjustment ramp which, in a first angular position of the adjusting ring, permits a displacement of the electrical mating contact into the first mating contact position and, in a second angular position of the adjusting ring, pushes the electrical mating contact into the second mating contact position. A power supply arrangement and a method for operating a charging socket are also provided.
