Sealed plug-in connector
A male plug connector having a contact support (1) with at least one contact chamber (2), wherein a contact partner (7) is mounted in the at least one contact chamber (2), wherein the contact partner (7) has a primary locking tab (10) that cooperates with its contact chamber (2), wherein a locking element (6) that can be displaced between a prelocking position and a final locking position is mounted on and/or in the contact support (2), wherein the locking element (6) is designed to secondarily lock the contact partner (7) having a secondary locking tab (12) when the contact partner (2) is located in its specified position in its contact chamber (2) and the locking element (6) has been displaced from its prelocking position into its final locking position, characterized in that, in addition to the secondary locking tab (12) of the contact partner (7), a locking web (13) that cooperates with the locking element (6) is mounted on the contact partner (7).
Dual in-line memory module (DIMM) connector retention apparatus
A memory connector retention apparatus is disclosed. The memory connector retention apparatus may comprise a retention body having a top portion, a bottom portion, two side portions, an end portion, and a fastening portion. In an example, the top portion and the bottom portion may be open, forming a cavity in the retention body to allow a memory connector and a memory module to be positioned within the retention body. The fastening portion may allow the retention body to secure the memory module within the memory connector by keeping memory snap arms of the memory connector fixed in a closed configuration when the fastening portion is in a tightened position. In an example, the fastening portion may comprise a hole such that a tightening element, e.g., a screw or peg, may fit into the hole. In this case, the tightening element may be adjustable so that the retention body may fit over the memory snap arms and prevent the memory snap arms at the end portion and the fastening portion of the retention body from moving into an open position.
Board-to-board connector assembly for add-in cards
A board-to-board connector assembly includes a connector interposer between first and second connectors each having a connector housing holding contacts and having a card slot for interfacing with a circuit card edge of a corresponding add-in card. The connector housings have board guides configured to engage the add-in cards and guide mating therewith. The connectors have latches configured to latchably engage the add-in cards to secure the connector to the add-in cards. The connector interposer electrically interconnects the first contacts and the second contacts.
Connector with a housing that restricts excessive deflection of the lock arm
It is aimed to provide a connector capable of being simplified in configuration. A connector (10) includes a housing (20) configured to be fit to hold a mating housing (61) by a resiliently deflectable lock arm (40), and a detecting member (50) configured such that a movement from a standby position to a detection position is restricted in a state where the housing (20) and the mating housing (61) are not properly connected and a movement to the detection position is allowed in a properly connected state of the housing (20) and the mating housing (61). The lock arm (40) includes stopper (44) configured to stop the detecting member (50) in contact therewith in the properly connected state. The housing (20) includes a covering wall (35) with which the stoppers (44) come into contact in a deflecting direction of the lock arm (40).
Connector with a retainer operable by a tool
A housing (10) includes a terminal holding portion (12) and a fitting space (23) facing the front surface of the terminal holding portion (12). A retainer (33) is mounted in a front part of the terminal holding portion (12). The retainer (33) is movable between a partial locking position and a full locking position. A moving plate (44) facing the front surface of the retainer (33) is accommodated in the fitting space (23), and the moving plate (44) is formed with openings (48) penetrating in the front-rear direction. The retainer (33) is formed with operated portions (41) facing the openings (48) from behind, and a tool (51, 52, 54) inserted into the opening (48) can contact the operated portion (41).
Portable fleet management system for autonomous aerial vehicles
A portable fleet management system enables an operator to efficiently manage a fleet of drones in the field. The portable fleet management system may a comprise a portable housing that houses a charging system for charging batteries of the drones, a storage system for storing images, video, or other sensor data captured by the drones, and various other control, input/output, and processing elements for enabling efficient management of a drone fleet. The charging system is beneficially configured to enable charging of multiple different makes and models of drone batteries that may have different form factors and charging requirements. Furthermore, the storage system may enable efficient offloading, processing, sorting, and backup storage of images or video captured by the drones.
CONNECTOR SYSTEM FOR LIGHTING ASSEMBLY
A linear LED lamp having a body with a length between spaced first and second ends. The linear LED lamp has an elongate heat sink and a light source comprising LED emitters and a first end cap assembly at the first end of the body. The first end cap assembly has conductive power and ground pins and a support connector has conductive power and ground terminals for connecting with an external power supply and providing a grounding path for components of the lamp. The power and ground pins of the first end cap assembly are configured to engage the power and ground terminals of the support connector as an incident of the first end cap assembly moving relative to the support connector in a path that is transverse to the length of the body into an engaged position. A sleeve connector is also provided for mounting a non-power end of a linear LED lamp to a light fixture.
OPTICAL FIBER CONNECTOR AND OPTICAL FIBER CONNECTOR ASSEMBLY
An optical fiber connector includes: a cylindrical connector body; an optical fiber connection assembly disposed within the connector body proximate to a proximal end of the connector body, the optical fiber connection assembly including a support and at least one elongate member fixed to and extending through the support, the elongate member being configured to couple an optical fiber of an optical fiber cable; a locking assembly for holding the optical fiber cable, the locking assembly being disposed proximate to a distal end of the optical fiber connection assembly; and a sealing element disposed at a distal end of the optical fiber connector, the sealing element being configured to seal the connection between the distal end of the optical fiber connector and an outer periphery of the optical fiber cable.
CONNECTOR SHROUD CONFIGURATION
An illustrative example embodiment of a connector includes a terminal configured to establish an electrically conductive connection with another component and a shroud surrounding the terminal. The shroud includes a first sidewall and a second sidewall that is transverse to the first sidewall. The first sidewall and the second sidewall have a sidewall dimension in a direction parallel to a longitudinal axis of the terminal. The shroud includes a first transition between the first sidewall and the second sidewall in the form of a hollow cylindrical sector having a first angular measurement of more than 90 degrees. The transition has a transition dimension that is less than the sidewall dimension.
COMBINATION TERMINAL BLADE WITH TABS AND INSULATION DISPLACEMENT SLOTS
An electrical contact and lead frame having a contact base and a tab section. The tab section extends from the contact base. The tab section has a first wall and an oppositely facing second wall. The first wall and the second wall are configured to make an electrical and mechanical connection to a mating receptacle portion of a mating contact of a first mating plug assembly. An insulation displacement slot is provided in the tab section. The insulation displacement slot extends from the end surface. The insulation displacement slot is configured to make an electrical and mechanical connection to electrical conductors of a second mating assembly.
