An apparatus for downhole connection of well components includes a first tubular component defining a through bore for receiving a second tubular component and a travel joint including an axially moveable inner sleeve and a coupling feature configured for coupling the second tubular component with the inner sleeve when received in the through bore of the first tubular component.

A contact assembly for an electrical plug-in connector includes: at least one contact element having a first end region for connection to a corresponding plug-in connector, and a second end region, which faces away from the first end region and for connection to a load line; a heat capacity element arrangeable on the at least one contact element at least in regions; and an insulating material arrangeable in a region between the heat capacity element and the at least one contact element for electrically isolating the heat capacity element from the at least one contact element.

A contact assembly for an electrical plug connector includes: at least one contact element with a first end region for connecting to a corresponding plug connector, and a second end region facing away from the first end region; a load line, an end section of an insulating-sleeve-free region of the load line being connectable to the second end region of the at least one contact element; and a heat capacity element arrangeable at least in regions on the insulating-sleeve-free region of the load line.

A receptacle includes a housing having a port for receiving a plug. An interlock assembly is provided for locking and unlocking the plug to the housing and includes a unitary main shaft having a first end and a second end. The second end is contoured to extend radially from a longitudinal axis of the main shaft. A spring is coaxial with the longitudinal axis and is configured to engage the second end of the main shaft. The spring is configured to apply a rotational biasing force to the main shaft to bias the main shaft toward a locked position wherein a locking bar attached to the first end of the main shaft engages and locks the plug to the housing. A tab is attached to the first end of the main shaft and is configured to rotate the main shaft between the locked position and an unlocked position.

A docking system for use with in-space structures includes a first connector attached to a first in-space structure and a second connector attached to a second in-space structure. The first connector includes a first housing that defines a recess. The second connector includes a second housing that is received within the recess of the first housing. The docking system also includes an engagement mechanism configured to secure the second housing in the recess.

A connector (1) includes a terminal (10) and a housing (H) for accommodating the terminal. The terminal (10) includes a case (20) having a ceiling wall (21) and accommodated in the housing, a coil spring (30) accommodated inside the case while being compressed in a compression direction toward the ceiling wall of the case, and a first conductive member (40) having a contact portion (43) with a mating terminal and sandwiched between one end (31) of the coil spring and an inner wall of the case, the contact portion being movable in the compression direction to further compress the coil spring. The case (20) is made of a metal material.
