A barrier device for an electrical connector is disclosed. In embodiments, the barrier device can comprise a first barrier element interposedly arranged between a substrate and a base assembly of the electrical connector. A second barrier element arranged for mating engagement with an upper surface of the substrate of the electrical connector; the second barrier element comprising a plurality of openings defined by a plurality of protruding structures that are configured and arranged to accommodate electronic components mounted to the upper surface of the substrate. The barrier device is designed such that the collective arrangement and positioning of the first barrier element and the second barrier element relative to substrate forms a thermal protection barrier and damping mechanism around the substrate.

A charging plug, having a housing for accommodating power contacts and power contacts for power transmission, and having an apparatus for detecting liquid, which apparatus is configured to detect liquid collecting inside the housing.

The device for use in an explosive atmosphere zone has a device housing and at least one energy supply part that is provided with at least one battery or at least one rechargeable battery as well as energy-associated supply contacts. The energy-associated supply contacts interact with device-associated supply contacts when the energy supply part is connected to the device. The energy-associated and device-associated supply contacts have connected upstream thereof switches that, prior to separation of the energy supply part from the device, can be controlled by a circuit such that the switches deenergize the energy-associated and the device-associated supply contacts.

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 stop component, and a sealing boot. The sealing boot can be compressed between the stop component and the shuttle, such as a sleeve of the shuttle. 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 out of position in response to a pressure gradient between first and second ends of the connector.
