The present disclosure discloses a modular strain relief assembly and a method for providing strain relief for the junction of an electrical cable and an electrical connector. The strain relief assembly comprises a connector adapter, a cable adapter and a ball-joint connector. Each of the connector adapter, the cable adapter and the ball-joint connector comprises a first section and a second section. The first section of each of the connector adapter, the cable adapter and the ball-joint connector comprises pins. The second section of each of the connector adapter, the cable adapter and the ball-joint connector comprises sockets. The pins are allowed to mate with the sockets to join the first section and second section of each of the connector adapter, the cable adapter and the ball-joint connector, respectively.

An electronic connector includes a housing and a plug extending from the housing. The plug includes at least one flexible region that provides flexing of the plug. In some example embodiments, the plug also includes at least one rigid region. The plug has at least one interconnect. Each interconnect includes a lead and a contact. The contacts are exposed on an exterior surface of the plug, such exposure being provided so as to enable electrical coupling between the plug and an electronic receptacle into which the plug may be removably inserted.

A rubber plug has a tubular sealing function portion that allows an electric wire to pass through the tubular sealing function portion and a tubular low-rigidity portion that allows the electric wire to pass through the low-rigidity portion. The sealing function portion exhibits sealing performance by elastically coming into close contact with the inner peripheral surface of the terminal accommodating chamber and the outer peripheral surface of the electric wire. The low-rigidity portion has a lower rigidity than the sealing function portion, and is arranged rearward of the sealing function portion.

A backshell housing includes a pair of housing parts including a first housing part and a second housing part friction welded to one another. A cable passage of the first housing part is continuous with a cable passage of the second housing part.

A holder for a sensor unit, has at least two bus bars, wherein an internal electrical interface to a measuring transducer is formed at first ends of the at least two bus bars, and an external electrical interface for a connector module is formed at second ends of the at least two bus bars. An alignment component surrounds the at least two bus bars and is arranged between the internal electrical interface and the external electrical interface, wherein an alignment of the alignment component defines an outgoing direction of the second ends of the at least two bus bars and of the external electrical interface.

In a substrate-side housing of a plug connector and a housing of a socket connector, an abutment receiving portion and a columnar projection are provided to disable the socket connector from being inserted into the substrate-side housing when the socket connector is misaligned beyond a movable range of a fitting-side housing of the plug connector.

A connector assembly with rounded edges, in which an end of a female connector is formed in a round shape and a guide groove having an inner dimension receiving a wire is formed at an end portion to guide the wire to be curved to correspond to the round shape at a wire harness inlet end and guide the curved wire to be received in the guide groove, thereby guiding reduction of tension of the curved wire and prevention of interference with an external structure.

There is provided a connector including: a housing; and a terminal-equipped electric wire assembled to the housing. The terminal-equipped electric wire includes: a terminal; an electric wire; and a flexible conductor provided between the terminal and the electric wire. The flexible conductor is divided into a plurality of divided conductor portions along an axial direction of the flexible conductor. The divided conductor portions are bent in different directions from each other.

A fixing structure of a connector is disclosed. The connector includes an insert portion and multiple wires connected to the insert portion. The fixing structure includes a wire binding block, a lower shell and an upper shell disposed with multiple first engaging structures. The lower shell is disposed with multiple second engaging structures separately corresponding to the first engaging structures and connected with the upper shell to form a chamber for receiving the connector and form a wiring hole for being passed by the wires. The wires are extended from the insert portion toward the wiring hole to form a bend section and a curve section in the chamber. The wire binding block is fixed on the curve section of the wires and clamped by the upper shell and the lower shell through engagement of the first engaging structures and the second engaging structures.

An apparatus includes a strain relief formed in helical shape and formed with a U-shaped channel. The strain relief can be used around a cable of a component or a spool extension of a fiber tray.
