The present disclosure discloses a plug connector including an insulating housing, a number of plug terminals and a cable. The insulating housing includes a width direction extending along a left-and-right direction. The plug terminals are retained by the insulating housing and arranged in two rows in the width direction of the insulative housing. The plug terminals of each row are arranged in an upper-and-lower direction and spaced away from each other in the upper-and-lower direction. Each plug terminal extends along a front-and-back direction. The cable includes a number of core wires correspondingly and electrically connected with the plug terminals. A connector assembly including the plug connector and the mated socket connector is also disclosed in the present disclosure.

The present disclosure discloses a socket connector including an insulating base and a number of socket terminals. The insulating base includes an outer plastic frame defining a receiving channel and an inner plastic block received in the receiving channel. The inner plastic block includes two sidewalls opposite to each other in a left-and-right direction. The socket terminals are arranged in two rows by positioning symmetrically and respectively on the two sidewalls of the inner plastic block. The socket terminals of each row are arranged in an upper-and-lower direction and spaced away from each other in the upper-and-lower direction. Each socket terminal extends along a front-and-back direction perpendicular to both the left-and-right direction and the upper-and-lower direction. A connector assembly including the socket connector and the mated plug connector is also disclosed in the present disclosure.

An electrical connector includes an insulative housing having a tongue with two opposite surfaces and plural contacts with contacting portions exposed to the two opposite surfaces of the tongue. The plural contacts are originally formed from a same sheet metal to have one group of contacts thereof each with a respective contacting portion exposed to one surface of the front tongue and the other group of contacts thereof each with a respective contacting portion exposed to the other surface of the front tongue and the one group of contacts is situated beside the other group of contacts.

A connecting device of an accessory by which improvement in mechanical strength is compatible with arrangements of many connection terminals. The connecting device is detachably attachable to an accessory shoe device of an electronic apparatus. An engagement member is attachable to the accessory shoe device by sliding in a first direction. A holding member is fixed to the engagement member by fastening members. A connecting plug has connection terminals and is arranged at a front part in the first direction of the holding member. The fastening members are arranged at positions that are spaced apart from each other in a second direction that perpendicularly intersects with the first direction. A width of the holding member is shorter than a width of the engagement member in the second direction, and the connection terminals are arranged in an area between the positions of the fastening members.

A work machine powered electrically by a conductor rod contacting power rails along a haul route. The conductor rod has a central passageway coupling a head to a tip. A barrel extending from the head and an arm extending from the tip have concentric tubular conductors radially offset from each other and slidably mated together. The concentric tubular connectors maintain physical and electrical contact as the conductor rod extends and contracts so that contact with electrical power is maintained despite lateral movements caused by steering or road conditions.
