A connector includes a housing in which a terminal fitting is stored, and a cover. A guiding structure configured to guide the housing and the cover in a connection direction, and a holding structure configured to hold the housing and the cover at a connection completed position are provided between the housing and the cover. The guiding structure includes a wedge guiding protrusion provided to the cover, and a wedge guiding groove provided to the housing. The wedge guiding protrusion and the wedge guiding groove are formed to have a gap between a protrusion-side wall surface and a groove-side wall surface disposed opposite to each other in each of two pairs. The holding structure includes a press-fit protrusion being configured to hold the wedge guiding protrusion and the wedge guiding groove in a press-fitted state when the housing and the cover are at the connection completed position.

A system and method for stabilizing a DIMM in a DIMM connector so as to reduce wear related electrical disconnections therebetween. A base is disposed between adjacent DIMM connectors and is coupled to the motherboard. A cap engages a top edge of a plurality of DIMMs and an adjustable force is applied to the top of the DIMMS by turning a screw which extends from the cap into the base.

A connector is provided with a cable that includes a conductor and an insulation, connector bodies that are provided on one ends in an extending direction of the cable, and a cover unit that covers and integrates each of the one ends of the cable and each of the connector bodies. The cable includes a first cohesion unit provided on a surface of the insulation at each of one ends over an entire circumference around the extending direction of the cable, and fixed to the cover unit so as to be detachable by cohesive fracture.

A connector includes: a casing that has a housing space, a through hole communicating the housing space with an external space, and an electric wire insertion hole, and that holds a connection terminal connected to a counterpart device; a wiring material that has a distal end part inserted into the housing space via the electric wire insertion hole and a conductor part exposed from a covering at the distal end part, the exposed conductor part being curved at a curved part and connected to the connection terminal; and a conductive voltage detection terminal that has a connection part connected to the exposed conductor part at a position closer to the covering than a curved part and a voltage detection part facing the through hole, and that is provided by branching from a conduction path between the connection terminal and the conductor part.

A hermetically-sealed edge-connect header that can withstand high temperatures, high pressures (or high vacuum levels), and high vibration environments, along with two corresponding connectors are disclosed. After brazing the edge-connect header components, the assembly is machined to form a slot with a portion of each of a plurality of electrical conductors removed in the machining process, resulting in a header with a high pin density. During the process of mating the first connector design to the edge-connect header, a plurality of wipers in the connector deflect, thereby causing the wipers to extend from the connector and contact the corresponding electrical conductors in the header. During the process of mating the second connector design to the edge-connect header, each of a plurality of wipers formed of low-mass, compliant metal wool, forms multiple contact points with a corresponding electrical conductor in the header.

An electromagnetic interference (EMI) grounding protection method for a connector assembly using a conductive housing. The method includes the steps of: conducting the EMI generated by a source towards a metallic braided shield, the metallic braided shield being secured and mounted onto the conductive housing by a metallic clamp; conducting the EMI from the metallic braided shield to the metallic clamp and to the conductive housing, the conductive plastic housing being mounted onto a metallic device by at least a metallic bolt and the bolt being accommodated within a corresponding metallic compression limiter; and thereafter, conducting the EMI: (1) from the conductive housing through the metallic compression limiters and through their respective bolts, and ultimately to the metallic device, and (2) from the conductive housing directly through conductive pads thereof, and ultimately to the metallic device.

A heavy-duty, harsh environment coaxial connector assembly includes a mounting shell connector including a cylindrical body and an electrically conductive mounting flange extending from the cylindrical body, a plurality of mounting apertures formed in the flange to support the mounting shell connector via a plurality of fasteners extending through the respective mounting apertures, and wherein each of the plurality of fasteners is electrically isolated from the mounting flange.

A connector includes a first housing (10) and a second housing (60) connectable to each other. The second housing (60) includes two walls (64) facing each other. The first housing (10) includes a receptacle (12) defining a fitting space (14), two side walls (19) connected to both circumferential ends of the receptacle (12) and a lock arm (24) arranged between the side walls (19). Entrance spaces (29) into which the walls (64) enter are defined between the side walls (19) and the lock arm (24) to communicate with the fitting space (14). Protrusions (31, 32) configured to contact the walls (64) are provided on inner surfaces of the side walls (19).
