A connector includes a connector housing 10 including a cavity 11, a terminal 50 to be accommodated in the cavity 11 and including a wire connecting portion 53, a wire 30 connected to the wire connecting portion 53 of the terminal 50, a rubber plug 60 to be externally fit on the wire 30 and held in close contact with an inner wall of the cavity 11, and a fixing portion 70 configured to fix the wire 30 and the rubber plug 60. The wire 30 includes a flexible vibration absorbing portion 35 between a part connected to the wire connecting portion 53 and a part fixed by the fixing portion 70.

A plug-in connector part for connection to a mating plug-in connector part includes: a housing which has a plug-in portion for plug-in connection to the mating plug-in connector part; at least one contact element arranged on the plug-in portion and for electrically contacting an associated mating contact element of the mating plug-in connector part; a thermal conductor line connected to the at least one contact element; and a cooling body arranged in the housing and thermoconductively connected to the at least one contact element via the thermal conductor line in order to dissipate heat from the at least one contact element.

A lever connector includes a lever which includes a lever-side lock part configured to be elastically deformed in a first direction to be separated from a surface of a second housing and configured to be locked to a housing-side lock part of the second housing when the lever is in a fitting start position. A first housing includes a pressing part configured to move together with the first housing in a fitting direction at a time of fitting, and configured to release a lock between the lever-side lock part and the housing-side lock part by pressing the lever-side lock part in the first direction. The second housing includes a lap part configured to be brought into close contact with an edge part of the lever when the lever is in a fitting completion position, so as to prevent that the edge part is deformed in the first direction.

Electrical contacts having good corrosion resistance. These contacts may include a set of three layers. The three layers may include a first or top layer and two layers below the top layer. The second or middle layer may be more electrochemically active than either the first layer or the third layer. The first layer may include cracks, pores, or other discontinuities. Corrosive substances may pass through these cracks, pores, and other discontinuities and corrode the second, more electrochemically active layer below the first layer. The cracks, pores, and other discontinuities may spread the corrosion homogenously and laterally across the surface of the contact, thereby protecting the remainder of the contact.

A receptacle connector defines a port. The port is provided with spring fingers that are configured to engage a mating module. The spring fingers are thermally coupled to a heat transfer plate that can be configured to provide part of a cage that defines the port. Fins can be mounted on or integrated into the heat transfer plate. In operation, thermal energy from an inserted module is transferred from the module to spring fingers and then to the heat transfer plate and then to a thermal dissipation system.

A connection assembly connects at least two subsea cables to a dual output subsea sensor An embodiment includes an adapter piece mounted to a rear part of the subsea sensor; a sensor port in the adapter piece, through which at least a first sensor connection and a second sensor connection are led to the subsea sensor; a first and second port for respectively providing a connection to a first and second subsea cable; a first penetrator providing a liquid tight seal between an interior space of the adapter piece and a duct connected to the first port; and a second penetrator providing a liquid tight seal between the interior space of the adapter piece and a duct connected to the second port. The sealing provided by the first and second penetrator preventing fluid communication between the respective duct connected to the first and second port, through the adapter piece.
