The installation comprises a connector with a body and input openings connected to a housing used for receiving the male terminals. The installation also comprises output openings through which the female terminal wiring is passed, separation walls, side tabs and a first cover hinged to the connector and characterised in that it incorporates a second hinged cover on the aforementioned connector that is facing the first cover, which blocks the side tabs when closed and defines a base, and female terminals made of an electrical conductive material and housed in the connector housing. The female terminals expand when the male terminals are inserted inside them and the area of the housing is greater than the area occupied by the female terminals prior to expanding.

An electrical connector assembly includes a receptacle connector and a plug connector mateable with each other at least in the front-to-back direction. The receptacle connector includes an insulative receptacle housing with a plurality of receptacle contacts therein, and a pair of deflectable metal latches. The plug connector includes an insulative plug housing with a plurality of plug contacts therein, and a pair of immovable metal locking pieces having corresponding locking protrusions to be engaged with the corresponding locking heads of the latches during mating.

An electronic device and an input/output connector are disclosed. The device may include the input/output connector, which may include a housing including an opening, a cover that covers at least a portion of the opening, the cover connected to the housing by a hinge, and forming an external appearance of the electronic device together with the housing, an elastic body connected to the housing and the cover, and an insertion hole formed by the housing and the cover, into which a cable terminal is insertable for connection with an external device, wherein a size of the insertion hole is changeable according to the rotation of the cover.

A locking pin driving mechanism includes a motor, a preceding gear, a round gear, a feed screw and a slider. The feed screw is coaxially fixed to the round gear. A locking pin is mounted in the slider. A center axis of the locking pin and a center axis of the feed screw are each disposed in parallel with a center axis of a vehicle inlet. An interaxial distance between the center axis of the vehicle inlet and the center axis of the feed screw is set to be larger than an interaxial distance between the center axis of the vehicle inlet and the center axis of the locking pin.

An actuator device includes a locking displaceable element and a manual operation element that are displaceably disposed in a fixed portion. The locking displaceable element is displaceable to locked/unlocked positions. The manual operation element engages with the locking displaceable element and displaces the locking displaceable element to lock/unlocked positions via manual operation. The fixed portion includes locking displaceable element stoppers and manual operation element stoppers. The locking displaceable element includes locking displaceable element stopper abutment surfaces. The manual operation element includes manual operation element stopper abutment surfaces. When the manual operation element is operated, the manual operation element stopper abutment surfaces abut against the manual operation element stoppers by to stop displacement of the manual operation element before the locking displaceable element stopper abutment surfaces abutting against the locking displaceable element stoppers.

A plug connector used to mate with the socket connector includes: a housing; a printed circuit board received in the housing, the circuit print board having plural soldering points; and a cable electrically connected to the soldering points of the printed circuit board, wherein the soldering points are provided with glue blocks to protect a connection between the printed circuit board and the cable.

An electrical connector assembly includes a housing configured to receive an electrical terminal. Opposed sides of the housing each define a pair of parallel locking ribs forming a locking slot therebetween. Each locking slot is configured to receive a locking arm extending from a separate mounting bracket.

A serially-connectable light string includes a first power wire, a second power wire, a first electrical connector, a second electrical connector and a plurality of light emitting diodes. The first power wire and the second power wire are arranged in parallel. The first electrical connector is connected to one end of first power wire and one end of the second power wire. The second electrical connector is connected to the other end of first power wire and the other end of the second power wire. The first electrical connector and the second electrical connector respectively include a plurality terminal portions corresponding to the first power wire and the second power wire.

A serially-connectable device includes a plug, an electrical cable, and a joining sleeve. The plug includes an insert portion and apertures are arranged in parallel to each other and formed through the insert portion. The electrical cable includes metal wires, such as wires of a light string. Ends of the wires respectively run through the apertures, and are folded back onto a surface of the insert portion to form exposed wire portions servicing as terminal pins. The joining sleeve includes two insert holes. Electrical conductors are disposed within the joining sleeve. Each electrical conductor extends from one of the two insert holes to the other insert hole. The insert portion is inserted into one of the two insert holes, to have the pins respectively contact the electrical conductors. Through the combination of the joining sleeve and the plug, two electrical cables can be quickly connected in a serial manner.

A plug connector is provided which has a base body and a slide element, wherein the base body has a plug side and a connection side, wherein the plug connector forms a plug axis which extends from the plug side to the connection side through plug the connector, wherein the slide element surrounds the base body and is arranged on the same to be movable along the plug axis. The connector additionally has a securing element, wherein the securing element is arranged between the slide element and the connection side of the plug connector, and wherein the securing element is arranged on the base body to be movable between an open position and a locked position.
