A battery module includes: a lower housing in which a plurality of secondary battery cells are housed; an upper housing coupled to a cover of the lower housing to cover the plurality of secondary replaceable cells; a female connector detachably installed in at least one of the lower housing and the upper housing; and a wiring harness electrically connected to the connector and the plurality of secondary battery cells.

The connector may include a body provided with a plurality of terminals, a bottom surface of the body may be spaced apart from an outer surface of the at least one housing such that a space may be defined between the outer surface of the at least one housing and the bottom surface, and both side surfaces of the body may be securely connected to the outer surface of the at least one housing.

CONNECTOR AND CONNECTOR STRUCTURE
20200067232 · 2020-02-27 ·

A connector includes: an outer housing including an arm that protrudes from a first wall portion to a space portion surrounded by a housing main unit; an inner housing inside the housing main unit; and a detection member supported between the first wall portion and the inner housing slidably. The housing main unit has an opening portion in which a counterpart housing having a protrusion is inserted. The arm includes an arm main unit with flexibility extending toward the opening portion and a lock tab protruding from the arm main unit. When the counterpart housing is inserted, the arm main unit is elastically deformed to enable the lock tab to ride over and lock the protrusion. When the lock tab completes riding over, the lock tab allows the detection member to move toward the opening portion.

CONNECTOR

An object of the present invention is to provide a connector that restricts a movement amount in a direction of detachment between connectors even when an engagement mechanism between the connectors is disengaged. A connector is configured to be used to electrically connect a first electronic device and a second electronic device to each other. This connector includes a fixation-side connector provided on a first electronic device side and including a tubularly formed insertion portion, an electric wire-side connector connected to the second electronic device via an electric wire and configured to be inserted in the insertion portion of the fixation-side connector, and a restriction portion provided on an opposite side of the electric wire-side connector from an insertion direction that is a direction in which the electric wire-side connector is inserted into the insertion portion outside the fixation-side connector and the electric wire-side connector. The restriction portion is configured to restrict a movement of the electric wire-side connector from the insertion portion in a direction causing the electric wire-side connector to be detached therefrom.

CONNECTOR CAGE
20200067230 · 2020-02-27 · ·

A connector cage includes a cage including an insertion slot from which a module is inserted into the cage; a heat sink which is arranged on a wall of the cage, the heat sink configured to be positioned at a contact position and a separate position with respect to the inserted module, move between the contact position and the separate position, and slide in an insertion direction in which the module is inserted in the cage; a first spring which causes the heat sink to move to the contact position; a protrusion which is provided on the side wall or the heat sink; a push plate extending from the heat sink, and which is pushed by the inserted module; and a hollow which is provided in the heat sink or the wall, and into which the protrusion moves.

Multipolar connector with circular contacts

Connector comprising a base (1) of substantially cylindrical form and a plug (2), connectable to the base in a removable manner to the base (2), in which are disposed a plurality of contacts (3); the base (1) comprising a conducting face (4) on or in which is disposed at least one conducting track (5) forming at least one arc of a circle whose centre (6) is substantially coincident with the centre of the conducting face (4); said track (5) furthermore being disposed in such a way as to permit a mechanical electrical coupling with one of said contacts (3).

Connector assembly with dual secondary lock

A connector assembly including a connector housing having a plug-in portion and two primary latching arms arranged on opposite sides of the plug-in portion. Secondary locking means are connected to the connector housing and movable relative to the connector housing from an open position to a locked position. The locking means includes blocking arms configured to block a release movement of the latching arms when the locking means is in its locked position. The secondary locking means has two separate locking members each of which is connected to one of the primary latching arms to block a release movement of the assigned latching arm. Each of the two separate locking members is configured to be independently moveable between the open position and the locked position. Each locking member comprise actuating release handles to allow an un-latching of the actuating arms. The release handles are arranged adjacent to each other.

High power electrical connector
10574001 · 2020-02-25 · ·

The present disclosure provides a conductive terminal and an electrical connector assembly. A high power electrical connector is provided for transmitting electrical signals from a pair of cables, such as high current capable cables, to an associated member, such as a dash panel. The high power electrical connector includes an insulative housing and a pair of contact path assemblies therethrough for transmission of the electrical signals. The cables include a shield layer that is biased to the backshell providing a ground path for the cables and connector.

Terminal removable device
10573982 · 2020-02-25 · ·

A terminal removable device includes a casing having an insertion port structured such that a terminal can be inserted therein, and a movable member including a latching portion configured to latch the terminal by moving from a first position to a second position with respect to the terminal inserted into the casing. The movable member includes a protrusion protruding from the casing when the movable member is at the second position. When the protrusion is pushed down to the casing side, the movable member moves from the second position to the first position to release the latching of the terminal.

Integrated force gauge cable mechanism

Aspects of the disclosure generally relate to cables and back shells having integrated force gauges. The force gauge includes a sliding member that engages features such as grooves formed in one or more surfaces of the back shell. The grooves and/or sliding member are sized and shaped such that a different forces applied to the sliding member facilitates movement between respective grooves.
