A receptacle connector having a plurality of airflow holes positioned to avoid heat buildup inside a receptacle shell, preventing deformation to the housing of a short, high density connector during solder reflow. The airflow holes may be in a bent portion joining a top face and rear face of the shell. The receptacle connector may be mounted to a substrate, such as a printed circuit board, leaving a gap between the connector and the substrate, forming an airflow passage between the substrate and the receptacle connector, enabling heated air to reach mounting portions of terminals of the connector during soldering, but reducing heat buildup within the shell. The passage, alone or in combination with a cutout in a face of the shell, may expose terminal contacts of the receptacle connector to provide for easy inspection and rework of the solder joints between the terminal contacts and the substrate.

A receptacle connector for mating with a plug connector having a mating tongue and a latch thereof, includes an insulative housing defining a mating slot extending along a longitudinal direction to receive the mating tongue of the plug connector, and an outer metallic shield defining a primary space to receive the housing and a secondary space communicatively beside the primary space to receive the latch of the plug connector. A plurality of contacts are disposed in the housing to mechanically and electrically connect to the mating tongue. An inner metallic shield is attached upon a long side of the housing to separate the primary space and the secondary space from each other in a transverse direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction.

The present disclosure provides exemplary embodiments of wiring device assemblies that include an electrical wiring device and electrical plug connector assembly which permits easy connection of electrical conductors to the electrical wiring device via the plug connector assembly. The wiring device assemblies are configured to operate at a common voltage rating and include keying features to ensure the electrical wiring devices are configured to mate with electrical plug connector assemblies rated for the same voltage. The keying features include a key and corresponding keyway used to prevent electrical plug connector assemblies rated for one voltage from being plugged into electrical wiring devices rated for a different voltage.

An electrical connector assembly includes: a first module including a mounting plate and a plurality of first electrical connectors; a second module including a housing and a plurality of second electrical connectors; wherein the electrical connector assembly has a locking device including at least one first interlocking member disposed on the first module and at least one second interlocking member disposed on the second module, wherein one of the first interlocking member and the second interlocking member is provided with a protrusion, and the other of the first interlocking member and the second interlocking member is provided with a hole for receiving the protrusion, wherein one of the projection and the hole is elastically actuatable so as to lock or unlock the first module and the second module.

A plug connector with a connector position assurance device adapted for being docked with a socket connector, includes a main body, a plurality of terminals, a plurality of cables connected with the plurality of the terminals, and a connector position assurance device. The main body has a plurality of terminal slots. A top of the main body is bent frontward to form a buckling portion. The main body is spaced from the buckling portion and the two locking portions to form a locating space among the main body, the buckling portion and the two locking portions. The plurality of the terminals are assembled in the plurality of the terminal slots. The connector position assurance device has an abutting block. When the plug connector with a connector position assurance device is inserted into the socket connector, the abutting block moves into the locating space.

An antenna box module comprising a circuit board and a connector module is provided. The circuit board has an antenna. The connector module comprises a first connector, a coaxial cable body and a second connector. The first connector comprises a first clip-locking portion and a first body. The first body has a tube shape and extends in a direction. The first clip-locking portion is disposed at the first body and an end of the first clip-locking portion is adapted for being elastically deformed perpendicularly to the direction. An end of the coaxial cable body passes through the first body of the first connector. The second connector comprises a second clip-locking portion and a second body. The second clip-locking portion is disposed at the second body and adapted for locking the first clip-locking portion of the first connector. The second body is disposed at the circuit board and electrically connected to the antenna. In addition, a connector module and a coaxial cable are also provided.

Provided is a camera mounting structure for attaching an in-vehicle camera to a vehicle. An optical protection window cover 503 is inserted into an opening 500 on the vehicle body side together with a camera 500 main body. It is possible to reduce the proportion of the water droplet 502 adhering to the surface of the optical protection window cover 503 with respect to the viewing angle of the camera 500, enabling the observer to visually recognize the presence of the water droplet 502 in visual examination of an image. In addition, the optical protection window cover 503 uses its body 602 to cover the side surface of a camera apparatus main body to implement positional alignment of a camera apparatus.
