An opening shield assembly including a body portion that includes a base plate having a front side and a back side and a passageway portion having a proximal end and a distal end. The passageway portion being connected to the base plate at the proximal end. The body portion also includes a passage extending from the distal end of the passageway portion to the back side of the base plate through the passageway portion and the base plate. The passageway portion is bent between the proximal end and the distal end to form a bend.

The connection apparatus of the invention comprises a platform (200), a plug connector (15) having a plug connector part (19) secured to the platform (200) and electrically connected to the circuit of the field device and a plug connector part (20) connectable with the connection cable and complementary to the first plug connector part (19), as well as a lid (16) held movably relative to the platform (200) for at least partially covering the plug connector (15) formed by connecting the plug connector parts (19, 20). The lid (16) is swingable between a first end position, in which the lid (16) at least partially covers the plug connector, and a second end position, and is additionally adapted in at least one open position located between the first end position and the second end position to expose the plug connector such that the plug connector part (20) can be separated from the plug connector part (19), as well as at least in the first end position to secure the plug connector part (20) connected with the plug connector part (19).

An electrical connector includes a first connector housing having a cavity aligned along a mating axis and configured to receive an electrical terminal. The first connector housing has a first holding device protruding outwardly from an outer surface of the first connector housing. The electrical connector also includes a second connector housing surrounding the first connector housing along the mating axis. The second connector housing has a second holding device protruding inwardly from an inner surface of the second connector housing. The first holding device includes a first blocking surface and the second holding device includes a second blocking surface. The first blocking surface is arranged opposite the second blocking surface. The first and second holding device cooperate with each other to press the first blocking surface to the second blocking surface while holding the first and second connector housings tightly together.

A terminal-equipped covered electric wire and a wire harness in which an electrical connection portion where a terminal fitting and an electric wire conductor are electrically connected is covered with a resin cover portion. With the terminal-equipped covered electric wire and the wire harness, the terminal fitting is prevented from being damaged during insertion into a connector housing, and the resin cover portion has improved adhesiveness to the terminal fitting. Provided is a terminal-equipped covered electric wire in which a resin cover portion covering an electrical connection portion includes a first layer made of a thermoplastic elastomer having adhesiveness to the surface of a terminal fitting, and a second layer made of a polyester resin. The adhesive strength between the thermoplastic elastomer and the polyester resin is 1.3 MPa or more. A wire harness including such a terminal-equipped covered electric wire is configured.

A connector comprises a connector housing that includes a plurality of channels formed therein through which a corresponding plurality of fasteners may pass. At least a portion of the housing has a first side and a second side. The first side is an elongated body-receiving side and the second side is a mating side. The elongated body may, for example, be a wire, a cable, a hose, or other structure. Each of the channels has an opening. The connector further comprises protrusions extending away from each of the openings. In an unassembled state, the protrusions extend further away from a surface of the housing than a remainder of the mating surface of the connector.
