A connector comprises a housing defining a terminal accommodating portion a supporting block. The connector further includes a pair of terminal assemblies mounted in the terminal accommodating portion and arranged to be spaced apart from each other. Each terminal assembly of the pair of terminal assemblies has a plate-shaped fixing portion extending in a first direction, and a terminal portion extending from the plate-shaped fixing portion in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. Each terminal assembly further includes an elastic supporting arm extending from a lower end of the terminal portion adjacent to the plate-shaped fixing portion in a direction inclined to both the first direction and the second direction. The elastic supporting arms of the pair of terminal assemblies abutted against the supporting block.

A connection terminal for connecting a conductor is formed as a direct plug-in terminal and includes a clamping spring arranged in a housing. The clamping spring includes a resilient clamping leg which can move into an open and locking position by pressing down an actuating device. The housing contains a conductor insertion channel for insertion of the conductor into a clamping point between the free end of the clamping leg and a busbar. The actuating device includes a pressing element and a pivoting element which interacts with the pressing element at least when the clamping point is being opened. At least one release device is provided for releasing the locking state of the clamping leg of the clamping spring. The release device is designed in such a way that the locking position can be released again by the action of the conductor on the release device when it is inserted, wherein the pivoting element acts on the pressing element and the pressing element acts on the clamping leg.

A connector is mounted on a circuit board when used. The connector has a housing and a terminal which has a held portion, a supporting portion, a coupling portion, a contact portion and a guiding portion. The coupling portion has a fulcrum. The guiding portion receives a vertical force from a mating terminal at a specific contact location. The guiding portion receives, at the specific contact location, a frictional force caused by friction between the mating terminal and the guiding portion upon movement of the mating terminal on the guiding portion. An action line of a combined force of the vertical force and the frictional force intersects with one of the circuit board and the housing at a reference point. The fulcrum is positioned beyond the reference point in a first orientation of a first horizontal direction.

An electrical connector for connecting electrical conductors in an aircraft includes a pin having a first contact surface and a socket to receive the pin. The socket has a second contact surface contacting a first contact surface of the pin when the pin is in the socket. A securing part is positioned to apply a contact or clamping force pressing the contact surfaces against each other. The securing part includes a shape memory alloy to exist in a martensite an austenite phase depending on temperature of the securing part, wherein the securing part assumes a first pre-set shape when the temperature is below a first temperature threshold, and a second pre-set shape when the temperature is above a second temperature threshold higher than the first temperature threshold, wherein the contact or clamping force applied by the securing part in the second pre-set shape is greater than in the first pre-set shape.

The embodiments of the present disclosure provide a plug, an interface device and an identification method thereof. The plug includes at least one insulating pin row including a plurality of insulating pins, a conductive pin which is stretchable and retractable along an axis direction is provided on at least one side of a central line of each of the at least one insulating pin row, and the conductive pin is arranged between two adjacent insulating pins of the plurality of insulating pins.

A coaxial connector includes a case having an inserting opening, a terminal assembly received in the case and defining a mating opening facing the inserting opening of the case, and an elastic member disposed between the case and the terminal assembly. The elastic member provides elastic forces in a radial direction of the terminal assembly to keep the terminal assembly in a first position in a free state of the terminal assembly, and the elastic member push the terminal assembly to shift to a second position different from the first position in the radial direction in a mated state of terminal assembly when the coaxial connector is mated with a complementary connector.

Electrical connectors are provided for electrically coupling two electrical components. Opposing ends of the connector are coupled to each of the electrical components. At the first end, the connector is disposed in an opening of the first electrical component to establish electrical connection. The first end includes multiple contact portions that are biased with a non-linear spring force against the sides of the opening.

A socket has a housing, which is composed of an electrically insulating material and an elongate plug-receiving region. A contact spring is arranged in the plug-receiving region. A lever loads the contact spring in the open position of the lever such that a dimension of the contact spring transverse to the longitudinal direction of the plug-receiving region is reduced and relaxes the contact spring in the closed position of the lever. A plug is provided for such a socket.
