Plug side connectors are prevented from moving relative to each other in the connecting/disconnecting direction, and one of the plug side connectors can be individually disconnected from the device side connector. The connector structure includes a longitudinal movement restricting protrusion on one of laterally facing side surfaces of the moveable member, which is resiliently deformably provided on the plug side housing, and a pair of stopper portions provided on another of the laterally facing side surfaces of the piece (48), and configured to restrict a movement of the longitudinal movement restricting protrusion of the laterally adjoining second housing (32) in the longitudinal direction by aligning with the longitudinal movement restricting protrusion (54) with respect to the longitudinal direction. When in an unlocked state, the longitudinal movement restricting protrusion (54) and the stopper portions (56, 58) are placed out of alignment with each other to release the restriction of the movement in the longitudinal direction.

An apparatus for emergency disconnection of a battery charge inlet of an electric vehicle may include a case; a handle mounted in the case, and rotatable by partially exposing through a groove formed at one side of the case; and an emergency disconnection cable having one side connected to the handle, and having the other side connected to an emergency disconnection lever provided in an inlet actuator mounted on the inlet for charging an electric vehicle.

A connector (1) is provided with an inner housing (20) to be fit to an inner periphery of a mating housing (M) and an outer housing (30) fittable to an outer periphery of the mating housing (M). The outer housing (30) is held on the inner housing (20) by first locks (50) before connection to the mating housing (M), is held connected to the mating housing (M) by a second lock (60) at the time of connection to the mating housing M, and is separated from the inner housing (20) and held connected to the mating housing (M) by releasing the first locks (50) at the time of separation from the mating housing (M).

An electrical connector includes: a connector unit having a mating part, the mating part defining a front mating end; a sleeve enclosing the mating part and extending forwardly beyond the front mating end to define a receiving chamber; and an outer cover enclosing the sleeve and the connector unit, wherein the sleeve has a front portion containing the receiving chamber, and the outer cover is made of a material softer than the sleeve.

Various embodiments of a cable clip having a clip housing configured to engage a casing to establish an operative connection with a portable device encased within the casing are disclosed.

A plug contact set, comprising a plug contact strip (10) having several first plug contacts (12, 14) arranged in a first housing (11), at least one of which is formed as a checking contact (14) having a shorter length than the rest of the plug contacts (12), and having a plug connector (20) having several second plug contacts (22) arranged in a second housing (21), at least one of which is configured to come into electrical contact with the checking contact (14), wherein the first housing (11) has at least one first latch element (31) and the second housing (21) has at least one second latch element (32) which are configured to latch together when the first plug contacts (12) are completely contacted with the second plug contacts (22), is characterised in that the second housing (21) has a third latch element (33) which can be latched with the first latch element (31) and which is arranged to be spaced apart from the second latch element (32) in the plugging direction (S) in such a way that, by latching the third latch element (33) with the first latch element (31), an as clearance-free as possible fixing of the second housing part (21) on the first housing part (11) in the completely contacted state of the first and second plug contacts (12, 14; 14) is achieved.

A connector includes a housing; and a fitting assurance member slidably attached to an outer side of the housing. The housing has a locking portion to be locked to the locked portion during a movement of the housing in a fitting direction to the counterpart housing. The fitting assurance member slides and moves relatively to the housing in the fitting direction from a temporary locking position to a formal locking position. The housing has an unlocking operation portion to apply unlocking force to the locking portion. The fitting assurance member has a pair of side walls on the outer side of the housing and a coupling portion connecting end portions of the pair of side walls. The coupling portion is located between the unlocking operation portion and the housing and separated from the unlocking operation portion.

A plug connector assembly includes an insulated housing, and a flexible flat cable assembly. The flexible flat cable assembly includes a first flat cable, a second flat cable, and a reinforced board. The reinforced board is sandwiched between the first flat cable the second flat cable. An inner shielding layer is disposed between conductors of the first flat cable and the reinforced board, and between conductors of the second flat cable and the reinforced board, respectively. A positioning plate protrudes outward from each of two sides of the reinforced board. The insulated housing has a displacement-preventing mechanism formed on an inner side thereof for blocking the positioning plate, so as to limit the displacement of the reinforced board along the inserting direction.
