A terminal unit includes inner conductors (35) fixed to front ends of wires (38). A dielectric (10) has a holding member (11) and a cover (27) united in a direction intersecting an axial direction of the wires (38) and accommodates the inner conductors (35). Guide recesses (17) are formed on the holding member (11) and extend in a front-rear direction. Guide ribs (33) are formed on the cover (27) and can slide in contact with the guide recesses (17) to allow relative displacement of the holding member (11) and the cover (27) in the front-rear direction while keeping the holding member (11) and the cover (27) united. Guides (19) bring the holding member (11) and the cover (27) closer together in a uniting direction while displacing the cover (27) from a temporary assembled position to a proper assembled position in the front-rear direction.

An electrical device is supported by a bracket above a transaxle in a front compartment of a vehicle. A DC power connector and an air conditioning connector are connected with a back face of a housing of the electrical device. The DC power connector has a higher strength than the air conditioning connector. A rear end of the DC power connector is located on a rear side than a rear end of the air conditioning connector.

Provided are an electric appliance and a method of manufacturing the same, the electric appliance having a smaller size and a reduced overall weight by preventing a fluid from flowing into a space unrelated to a heating component in a state where the fluid fills its case. The electric appliance includes: a case including a first space and a second space communicated to each other; a first component disposed in the first space; a second component disposed in the second space; a connection portion electrically connecting the first component and the second component to each other; and a potting pattern including a resin material and formed in the first space.

A circular plug connector includes a plug shell having a cavity, a plug insert received in the cavity, and plug contacts held in the plug insert. The circular plug connector includes an outer coupling ring rotatable about the plug shell and having threads configured to be threadably coupled to a mating connector. The circular plug connector includes an anti-rotation mechanism between the plug shell and the outer coupling ring to resist rotation of the outer coupling ring relative to the plug shell. The anti-rotation mechanism includes a locking ball, a biasing member interfacing with the locking ball, and a clicker disk. The clicker disk includes a ring plate surrounding the plug shell and an array of dimples circumferentially spaced apart along the ring plate.

A charging socket for a vehicle, includes at least two contact elements, each contact element having a latent heat storage unit. The latent heat storage unit includes a phase change material arranged in a container. The container is thermally coupled to the respective contact element and is arranged in a current path between the contact element and a terminal of the contact element for a line of a wiring harness of the vehicle.
