A housing for a connector includes a main body having a plurality of exterior sides and a resilient shell extending from the exterior sides. The resilient shell includes a first resilient section having a first support connected to the exterior sides and a cantilever disposed at an end of the first support opposite the main body. The cantilever is separated by a distance from at least one of the exterior sides and is elastically deflectable toward the at least one of the exterior sides.

An electrical connection module includes a shell, a terminal arranged in the shell, and a thermal block disposed in the shell. The shell has a front port, an upper shell, a lower shell opposite the upper shell in a height direction of the shell, a front end, and a rear end opposite the front end in a longitudinal direction of the shell. The terminal has an upper terminal and a lower terminal opposite each other in the height direction. The upper terminal and the lower terminal respectively have an upper elastic contact arm and a lower elastic contact arm located in the front port. The thermal block is clamped between the upper terminal and the lower terminal. The upper elastic contact arm and the lower elastic contact arm electrically contact an upper side and a lower side of a mating terminal inserted into the front port.

An electronics unit and a plug-in junction box for plug-in connection of a plug-in connector integrated therein in the plug-in direction (S) into a plug-compatible socket of an electronics housing of an electronics unit of an electric motor. The junction box has a housing with a pot-like accommodation region delimited by housing walls for accommodating a contact carrier of the plug-in connector. A plurality of hollow-cylindrical screw bushings extending in the plug-in direction (S) are provided in the accommodation region. At a plurality of positions corresponding to those positions of the screw bushings, the contact carrier has externally located guide elements at which the contact carrier can be guided into its final assembly position, and in the final assembly position, the respective guide elements at least partially engage around the cylindrical screw bushings.

Connector receptacles that can provide a robust and reliable connection to a board and have a small form factor. An example can provide connector receptacles that provide a robust and reliable connection to a board by providing contacts having highly planarized solder tails. The solder tails can be supported by extensions of housing portions to provide consistent placement and alignment, as well an amount of shock absorption. The solder tails can include chamfered surfaces to improve soldered connections to pads of a board. The chamfered surfaces can also enable a reduced pitch between solder tails thereby helping to provide a reduced form factor.

A connector device including: a plug which has a plug housing and at least one electrical plug contact that is held so as to be insulated in the plug housing; and a socket which has a socket housing and a socket contact. The socket housing has an electrically insulating plug channel for receiving the plug contact, in which plug channel the socket contact is located. A sleeve is rotatably arranged on the plug housing or the socket housing. A slotted guide arrangement is operatively disposed between the sleeve, the plug housing and the socket housing. A slotted guide of the slotted guide arrangement has a separating portion having a slope relative to a circumferential direction. After the separating portion in an opening direction, a delay portion is located, which has a smaller slope than the separating portion.
