A damping element for a plug-in connector is described, the plug-in connector comprising a socket and a connector pin pluggable into the socket. The damping element is configured to be disposed inside of the socket and comprises a first bearing face adapted for lying flat against the bottom of the socket and a second bearing face adapted for lying flat against the front face of the connector pin. Either a first shaft is attached at or integrally molded with the first bearing face or a second shaft is attached at or integrally molded with the second bearing face. The damping element is adapted for providing a damping effective in the axial direction between the connector pin and the socket.

Various connectors are disclosed. The connectors include a sealing assembly for providing a seal around a cable extending through the connector. The sealing assembly can include a moveable shuttle, a sleeve, a stop component and a sealing boot. The sealing boot can be compressed between the sleeve and the shuttle as the shuttle moves towards the stop component. The sealing boot can be configured to change shape (e.g., buckle) around the cable in response to movement of the shuttle. The change in shape of the sealing boot can facilitate sealing around the cable. The connector can be configured to inhibit or prevent the sealing boot from being extruded of out of position in response to a pressure gradient between first and second ends of the connector.

A connector assembly for a video transmission cable is configured to completely eliminate a clearance between connectors when a first connector and a second connector are fastened, maintaining a contact state of connector terminals even under conditions of vibration or shock.

A fluid channel assembly for a connector of a charging gun for an electric vehicle is provided. The fluid channel assembly includes a fluid channel network for cooling a contact pin of the charging gun. The fluid channel network is arranged around the contact pin and is in direct or indirect contact with the contact pin. Further, the fluid channel assembly includes a fluid inlet connected to the fluid channel network via a first single fluid transfer channel. The fluid inlet is configured to receive a coolant through a charging cable and to inject the coolant into the fluid channel network. A fluid outlet connected to the fluid channel network via a second single fluid transfer channel is provided. The fluid outlet is configured to receive the coolant from the fluid channel network and to inject the coolant into the charging cable.

Embodiments presented provide for a sealed connector for use in high gas pressure applications. The sealed connector may provide for electrical signals and power to be transmitted along a cable to a downhole apparatus, such as those used in hydrocarbon recovery operations. The sealed connector includes a body having a first body portion and a second body portion, where the first body portion includes an interior cavity having a connection portion and a sealing surface, and the second body portion is comprised of an elastomer having a bore. The elastomer of the second body portion is bonded to the first body portion, and an insert is disposed within the body. A wire is configured to extend through the bore of the second body portion, the elastomer of the second body portion seals against the wire, and the wire is coupled to the insert.

A connector includes a power terminal, an LA terminal, a second housing portion, a heat storage member, and a cover. The power terminal is to be electrically connected to a mating terminal. The LA terminal is to be electrically connected to a cable. The heat storage member is erected at a connection portion between the power terminal and the LA terminal. The second housing portion includes a second housing space that houses the heat storage member. The cover sheathes an upper end opening of the second housing portion. The cover has a vent hole that penetrates the cover and communicates with the second housing space. The vent film is provided to the vent hole.
