An electrical connector configured to be inserted into a mating connector in an insertion direction includes a housing having a receiving passage, a locking mechanism, and a releasing mechanism. The locking mechanism is rotatably mounted on a top wall of the housing by a pivot and has a locking portion. The locking portion is inserted into a mating housing of the mating connector to lock the electrical connector and the mating connector. The releasing mechanism provides a releasing force to drive the locking mechanism to move from a locked state to a released state to allow the electrical connector to be disengaged from the mating connector.

A first connector has first rear engagement parts exposed toward the rear of the first connector, along with first front engagement parts exposed towards the front of the first connector. A second connector has second rear engagement parts and second front engagement parts. In the mating state between the first connector and the second connector, the second rear engagement parts are disposed on the rear side of the first rear engagement parts so as to engage with the first rear engagement parts, while the second front engagement parts are disposed on the front side of the first front engagement parts so as to engage with the first front engagement parts.

A connector includes a housing fitted into a mating side housing, a locking arm including a locking portion, and a slider. The locking arm is connected to the housing and extends toward a rear end and along a fitting direction into the mating side housing. The locking arm is configured to be restored after bending in a lock release direction and the locking portion is configured to be engaged with an engagement portion of the mating side housing to lock the mating side housing and the housing, when the housing is being fitted into the mating side housing. A slider is slidably attached to the housing between a main locking position on a bending end side of the locking arm and a temporary locking position deviating from the main locking position.

An electrical connection box is provided. The electrical connection box includes a case having a bottom plate having a terminal connection portion, a cover having a top plate and assembled by being covered on an upper portion of the case, and a plurality of component mounting portions provided on the top plate of the cover. A component including a terminal is assembled in the component mounting portion from above the cover. The terminal of the component assembled to the component mounting portion is connected to the terminal connection portion of the case. At least one boss for maintaining a distance between the bottom plate of the case and the top plate of the cover is provided on the case or the cover. The boss is disposed in a component mounting area surrounded by an outer periphery of the plurality of component mounting portions in a plan view.

An electrical connector comprising a male plug and a female plug, the female plug connected to the male plug through a circuit module, and the circuit module connected to the first electrode; in particular, a sheet body is configured between the male plug and the female plug. The sheet body comprises a conducting layer connected to the second electrode. The forward projection of the conducting layer on the sheet body forms a piercing zone. The male plug pierces the sheet body through the piercing zone, snaps together with the female plug, and is electrically connected to the conducting layer. The connector of the present invention differs from conventional connectors in both structure and usage, and can be applied in various fields.

A method of forming a cable connection system. A base and a rack are provided, and the base is coupled with the rack, using a coupling mechanism, during a connect mode of operation. The rack includes a first rack surface and a second rack surface perpendicular to the first rack surface, wherein the first rack surface is perpendicular to a raised floor surface, wherein the second rack surface is on, and parallel to, the raised floor surface. The base is coupled to cables connected to the rack, wherein the base includes a first base surface, a second base surface perpendicular to the first base surface, and an array of slots into which corresponding network servers are screwed into place. The coupling mechanism includes a group of base connectors on the first surface of the base and a group of rack connectors on the first surface of the rack.

A receptacle connector includes a receptacle housing including a housing portion and receptacle terminals connected to plug terminals. The housing portion includes a first principal inner wall face, a second principal inner wall face, and a first-end inner wall face. At least a part of the first-end inner wall face is first receptacle guide faces having a gap width in a Y-axis direction gradually decreasing. The first receptacle guide face guides a plug connector such that the direction of an axial line of the plug connector is lined up in the direction of an axial line of the housing portion by regulating movement of the plug connector.

An electrical connector adapted to electrically connect with a mating electrical connector comprises a housing, a cable having a plurality of wires and a plurality of cladding layers each covering one of the plurality of wires, an electrical connection assembly electrically connected to the plurality of wires, and a first molded member adapted to be inserted into the housing in a plug-in manner in an extension direction of the cable. The electrical connection assembly is inserted into the housing and configured to be electrically connected with the mating electrical connector. The first molded member is molded on both a portion of the wires on which the cladding layers are not stripped and a portion of the wires on which the cladding layers are stripped.
