A sensor set is provided for sensing of a body characteristic, such as glucose. The sensor set includes a mounting base for the sensor and a connector to connect to the mounting base and has an improved structure for connecting the mounting base to the connector. The connector may contain sensor electronics for wired or wireless communication to an external monitor or display. The mounting base includes latch arms and the connector adapted to fit and lock into latch recesses on the connector and includes anti-rotation arms adapted to fit into anti-rotation arm recesses on the connector.

A snap fastener system includes a conductive first snap fastener portion in electrical and physical contact with a first electronic component, a second snap fastener portion, and a snap ring including tines mated to one of the first and/or second snap fastener portions and including one or more conductive insulation displacement tines which cut through the insulation covering a wire to be electrically coupled to the first electronic component.

An electrical assembly includes mated plug connector and receptacle connector. The plug connector includes an insulative main body, a flat flexible cable attached upon the main body, a rotatable presser assembled upon the main body and retaining the flat flexible cable in position, and a metallic unitary latch assembled upon the main body with pair of resilient latches on two opposite lateral sides. Correspondingly, the receptacle connector includes an insulative housing, a plurality of contacts disposed in the housing, a metallic shell enclosing the housing, and a metallic cover attached upon the shell to shield the rear side of the receptacle connector.

In various embodiments, compact connector designs may be provided that have reduced board pitch (e.g., 1.80 mm, 1.50 mm, 1.27 mm, etc.), but are still capable of accommodating large electrical conductors (e.g., 1.4 mm, 1.1 mm, 0.9 mm, etc.). In this manner, PCB footprint may be reduced (e.g., by 50% when a staggered connector configuration is used), while adequate current carrying capacity may be maintained (e.g., 2 A, 3 A, 4 A, etc.). Additionally, or alternatively, one or more other advantages may be achieved, such as ruggedness (e.g., vibration endurance), error proofing, configuration flexibility, ease of manufacturing, ease of assembly, and/or lowered costs.

An electrical conductor assembly for use in a power distribution assembly includes an electrical conductor. A casing covers at least a portion of the electrical conductor. The casing insulates the at least a portion of the electrical conductor.

Electric bicycles anchoring system of the type comprising a first module (1) intended to be installed on the base (3) of an anchoring and recharge station for electric bicycles and a second module (2), complementary to the first module (1) and intended to be installed on an electric bicycle. It allows anchoring and battery recharge of the electric bicycle and triggering an alarm when it detects attempted robbery of the bicycle. It comprises electrical charge connections, data transmission elements in the two modules which make contact with each other when the bicycle is anchored to the station base.

A connector assembly (1) comprising a main connector (2) with a contact support (6), and a mating connector (3) that can be mated with the main connector (2), having a contact support (7), wherein the mating connector (3), in the plug-in region, is formed with a chamfer (10) that corresponds to the shape of the main connector (2) such that, during the mating process, the main connector (2) is inserted into the mating connector (3) in a predefined position, wherein the main connector (2) comprises two axially extending springs (8), arranged in opposition in the plug-in direction, and the mating connector (3) comprises two opposing slots (9), or vice versa, wherein a spring (8) corresponds to its respective slot (9), characterized in that the two springs (8) have different lengths.

A connection detecting member (30) is mounted on a support (20) of a lock arm (15) to be integrally resiliently displaceable, and relatively movable with respect to the support (20) between an initial position and a detection position. A resilient locking piece (32) of the connection detecting member (30) restricts a movement of the connection detecting member (30) to the detection position by contacting a front stop (19) of the lock arm (15) in a state where both housings (10, 50) are not connected or are connected incompletely. The first housing (10) is provided with a movement restricting portion (23) for restricting a movement of the connection detecting member (30) toward the detection position by contact with the connection detecting member (30) when the resilient locking piece (32) is displaced in a separating direction from the front stop (19) due to curved deformation of the lock arm (15).

An electrical connector includes a plug that mates with a receptacle. In a medical application, the plug is connected to electrical leads that pass through a patient's skin to an implanted medical device in the patient's body, while the receptacle is connected to external medical equipment. All electrical contacts in the plug are on internal portions. The receptacle includes annular contacts that contact the internal electrical contacts on the plug when the plug and receptacle are properly mated. The receptacle includes a plurality of annular electrical contacts that have a first diameter and are separated by a plurality of annular insulators having a second diameter smaller than the first diameter.
