A plug system includes a plug connector part, which has a plug connector housing and a multiplicity of connection terminals, which are arranged on the plug connector housing and which each have a spring element forming a clamping leg, and a plug device, which has a multiplicity of electrically conductive plug elements. The plug elements of the plug device for electrically contacting the connection terminals of the plug connector part can each be connected in a plugging manner along a plugging direction to one of the connection terminals of the plug connector part and, in a connected position, are mechanically operatively connected to the clamping leg of the spring element of the respective connection terminal. At least some of the plug elements have a different height measured along the plugging direction.

A connection terminal for the electrically contacting connection of a conductor to a current bar which is accommodated on a holder includes a clamping spring having a first limb and a second limb, said clamping spring being provided for applying a clamping force for damping the conductor. An actuation device which comprises the clamping spring is provided. Between the first limb and the second limb of the clamping spring, which is in the form of a tension spring, is arranged an insert device which provides a counter-bearing for a tool when the actuation device is actuated.

An electrical connector includes a housing and a conductive contact member disposed in the housing. A first contact portion of the conductive contact member receives a blade contact of an electrical device and a second contact portion electrically engages an inserted electrical wire. A spring member is disposed in the housing and is connected to the contact member. A rotatable member is movable between first and second positions. When the rotatable member is in the second position the spring member secures an inserted wire in electrical engagement with the conductive contact member and prevents removal of the inserted wire. When the rotatable member is in the first position the spring member allows for removal of an inserted wire and allows for insertion of a wire in the housing.

Generally, this disclosure provides systems, devices and methods for improved electrical coupling of multiple ground planes of a device. The device may include a plurality of ground planes and an electrically conductive ground clip. The ground clip may include a base portion configured to secure the ground clip to the device and a plurality of spring fingers. Each of the spring fingers may be configured to contact and electrically couple to one of the plurality of ground planes, wherein the ground clip is to provide a conduction path between each of the spring fingers. One of the spring fingers may pass through an opening or cut-through in a first ground plane to contact a second ground plane. The device may be a mobile communication or computing platform.

An aerosol-generating system includes a main body, a cartridge, and a connecting component. The main body includes a main body housing enclosing a power supply. The cartridge includes a cartridge housing enclosing a reservoir of liquid aerosol-forming substrate. The cartridge is releasably connectable to the main body by the connecting component. The connecting component is fixed to the main body housing and is less stiff in at least one direction than the main body housing. The connecting component that is less stiff the main body housing and the cartridge housing can act as a shock absorber when the aerosol-generating system experiences a significant impact, such as when dropped on a surface. This reduces damage to other components of the system and, in particular, may prevent leaks of liquid resulting from damage to the liquid reservoir.
