Connectors or connector assemblies include first and second latching members attached to a housing thereof for latching the connector to a mating connector are provided. When the connector mates with the mating connector in a first/second mating orientation, the first/second latching member, but not the second/first latching member latches the connector to the mating connector.

An object of the present invention is to provide a connector that restricts a movement amount in a direction of detachment between connectors even when an engagement mechanism between the connectors is disengaged. A connector is configured to be used to electrically connect a first electronic device and a second electronic device to each other. This connector includes a fixation-side connector provided on a first electronic device side and including a tubularly formed insertion portion, an electric wire-side connector connected to the second electronic device via an electric wire and configured to be inserted in the insertion portion of the fixation-side connector, and a restriction portion provided on an opposite side of the electric wire-side connector from an insertion direction that is a direction in which the electric wire-side connector is inserted into the insertion portion outside the fixation-side connector and the electric wire-side connector. The restriction portion is configured to restrict a movement of the electric wire-side connector from the insertion portion in a direction causing the electric wire-side connector to be detached therefrom.

A cable management system includes a housing configured to protect and enable easy winding of cables and adapters. The various preferred embodiments utilize a rotating functionality to easily wind both small and large cables, while simultaneously supporting and protecting the cables. A plurality of selectively removable inserts provide for accommodating multiple configurations of cable sizes and locations. The unique design decreases the space typically required to store the adapter, promotes an extended product life for the cable housed within the casing, and can significantly reduce the time needed to wrap and store the cable.

An electrical connector is used to be electrically connected to a mating component. The electrical connector includes a body having an insertion slot for the mating component to insert therein along a mating direction, and two side walls located at two opposite sides of the insertion slot and extending along an elongated direction perpendicular to the mating direction. A retainer is provided at one end of the body along the elongated direction to buckle with the mating component. Multiple terminals are provided on the two side walls, protruding into the insertion slot to mate with the mating component. A metal member is provided on the body and correspondingly covering one of the side walls. The metal member is provided with at least one through slot provided obliquely relative to the mating direction and adjacent to the retainer in the elongated direction.

The present disclosure relates to a power connector which comprises an insulative housing and a terminal. The insulative housing defines a terminal receiving groove therein and comprises a stopping wall. The terminal is positioned in the terminal receiving groove and comprises a mating portion, a stopping portion and a wire connecting portion. The stopping portion abuts against the stopping wall and comprises a first horizontal portion and a second horizontal portion. The first horizontal portion comprises a first front end edge. The second horizontal portion comprises a second front end edge. A portion of a front end of the first horizontal portion and a portion of a front end of the second horizontal portion are cut off, therefore when the terminal clamps the wire, the first front end edge and the second front end edge do not splay forwardly and outwardly to protrude forwardly, but are parallel to each other or respectively extend backwardly, which thus can avoid the first front end edge and the second front end edge of the stopping portion from abutting against the stopping wall first due to the protruding.

An electrical connector for electrically connecting at least two electrical conductors featuring first and second electrical cables. The connector features at least one first conductor plate allocated to the first cable and at least one second conductor plate allocated to the second cable. Each conductor plate features in total a number of conducting structures with first contact sections which corresponds to at least the number of the conductors for electrical contacting of the allocated conductors and also second contact sections. Furthermore, the connector features a number of coupling elements corresponding to the number of conductors which are designed for electrically contacting the second contact sections of the respective conductor plate allocated to the respective conductor by bridging of a spatial gap between the first and second conductor plate.

A quick connect and release mechanism is provided for a coaxial cable connector comprising a first connector body having an annular cavity accessible by a tubular opening. A conical retention ring is disposed in the annular cavity and engaging at least one radial step form along a rearwardly facing surface of the annular cavity and, furthermore, being configured to engage a retention surface of a second connector body upon insertion of a tubular sleeve thereof. Furthermore, a retention ring engager is disposed over a portion of the first connector body and has a sleeve portion extending into the tubular opening to urge the retention ring from engagement with the at least one radial step while also disengaging the retention surface of the second connector. As a consequence, the second connector is released from the first connector.

A plug socket includes a recess receiving a charging plug in a plug-in direction and a locking element movable from a plug-in position into a blocking position. The recess terminates in an insertion opening in the plug-in direction and has an undercut acting in the plug-in direction to latch a latching element of the charging plug. The locking element in the plug-in position is located in the recess and overlaps the undercut transverse to the plug-in direction. The blocking position is spaced apart from the plug-in position in the plug-in direction and the locking element is located closer to the insertion opening in the blocking position than in the plug-in position.

A counter connector for mating with a connector has a hollow cylindrical housing. The counter connector includes at least two, and preferably three, of the following three types of locking means for locking the counter connector to the connector: (A) one that is arranged on a perimeter on a cylindrical surface of the housing or of a sleeve located inside the housing, a counter engagement part in the form of a groove, a collar, or a series of radially extending apertures, recesses or protrusions, the counter engagement part being adapted to engage with at least one engagement part or at least one latching part of the connector. (B) one that has a counter latching part that can be deflected elastically in a radial direction of the counter connector and comprises at least one of a radially extending groove, collar, aperture, recess or protrusion adapted to engage with a latching part of the connector. (C) one where a counter thread is adapted to engage with a thread of the connector. Systems can include the counter connector and at least one connector that can be mated with the counter connector, wherein the connector is of one of the following three types: a) a push-pull connector; b) a break-away connector; and c) a threaded connector.
