A receptacle connector defines a port. The port is provided with spring fingers that are configured to engage a mating module. The spring fingers are thermally coupled to a heat transfer plate that can be configured to provide part of a cage that defines the port. Fins can be mounted on or integrated into the heat transfer plate. In operation, thermal energy from an inserted module is transferred from the module to spring fingers and then to the heat transfer plate and then to a thermal dissipation system.

A connector of the present invention includes an inner housing and an outer housing. The inner housing has a contact holding portion holding at least one contact, and is for attachment to a substrate. The outer housing is configured as a separate body from the inner housing, is provided between a case with the substrate attached thereto and the inner housing and is fixed to the case, and suppresses rattling of the inner housing relative to the case.

It is aimed to improve connector connecting operability. A connector connecting device includes a connector holder (10) disposed on a body (90) of an automatic transmission while holding a plurality of holder-side connectors (50) and configured to collectively arrange the respective holder-side connectors (50) at positions corresponding to device-side connectors (82). The connector holder (10) includes holding portions (19) each configured to hold the holder-side connector (50) displaceably to an aligned position for aligning the holder-side connector (50) in a state connectable to the device-side connector (82) and a push-in position for connecting the holder-side connector (50) to the device-side connector (82) by the holder-side connector (50) being pushed from the aligned position.

A wind-protection casing includes a plastic shell having a first partial shell and a second partial shell, wherein the first partial shell and the second partial shell surround an accommodating space and form a first and second line opening, which connect the accommodating space with the surrounding region outside the accommodating space. A retaining means is provided with an accommodating geometry for a line plug connector, which is arranged on the first partial shell and is designed in such a way that a line plug connector accommodated by the accommodating geometry is retained in the accommodating space at a distance from the first partial shell and the second partial shell via an air gap. A plug-connector device including such a wind-protection casing of this type is also provided, wherein a line plug connector is accommodated in the accommodating geometry.

An electrical plug-type connector consisting of an electrically nonconductive material includes a plug housing with an inner wall and at least one plug-type contact. The inner wall delimits a first space. The at least one plug-type contact has a first end with which contact can be made by a mating plug-type contact, and a second end, which is opposite the first end. The second end is connected to a printed circuit board by solder. The plug housing is moved from the first end in a direction of the second end via the at least one plug-type contact in the axial direction into a predetermined position. In the predetermined position, the plug-type contact has a lack of force-fitting connection transversely to the axial direction. In the predetermined position, the printed circuit board is fixedly connected to the plug housing. In the predetermined position, the first end protrudes into the first space.

A shield for an electrical connector is provided and includes a first member, a second member, a slot, and a bridge. The slot is positioned between the first member and the second member. The bridge extends transverse across the slot and connects the first member with the second member.

Provided is a connector having excellent abrasion resistance. The invention applies to a connector including a terminal portion electrically connecting two objects to be connected and a connector housing portion in which the terminal portion is accommodated. The connector housing portion has a first housing in which a fixing portion to which a fixed portion formed in the terminal portion is to be fixed is formed and a second housing that engages with a main body-side housing fixed to one of the objects to be connected in a state in which the first housing is accommodated in the second housing.
