The present disclosure provides exemplary embodiments of wiring device assemblies that include an electrical wiring device and electrical plug connector assembly which permits easy connection of electrical conductors to the electrical wiring device via the plug connector assembly. The wiring device assemblies are configured to operate at a common voltage rating and include keying features to ensure the electrical wiring devices are configured to mate with electrical plug connector assemblies rated for the same voltage. The keying features include a key and corresponding keyway used to prevent electrical plug connector assemblies rated for one voltage from being plugged into electrical wiring devices rated for a different voltage.

Provided is a housing including a bottom wall, a front-end wall, side walls, and a mating space. Each of the side walls includes a locking protrusion configured to engage with a counterpart locking protrusion locking protrusion of a counterpart housing when the counterpart housing is inserted into the mating space. Each of the side walls also includes an auxiliary-metal-fixture mounting portion configured to be loaded with an auxiliary metal fixture having a bottom end that is to be fixed to a surface of a board. The terminal is configured to be loaded in the front-end wall, and includes a connection part having a bottom end that is to be fixed to the surface of the board. The bottom wall has a surface facing the surface of the board, slanted surfaces are formed respectively on the left side edge and the right side edge of the surface of the bottom wall so that each slanted surface extends, in the front-to-rear direction of the sidewall, towards the outer side of the housing with a gradually widening gap with the surface of the board.

A circuit board connector comprises a housing, at least one signal contact disposed in the housing, and a pair of locking arms attached to the housing. The housing has a slot formed therein, for receiving a circuit board. Each locking arm has a latch movably disposed in the slot. The pair of locking arms are resiliently deformable relative to the housing between a lock position at which the latch is positioned to block the slot, to lock a circuit board to the connect, and an unlock position at which the latch is positioned to form a clearance in the slot, to allow disconnection of the circuit board from the connector.

An electrical connector assembly for an automotive subassembly having an enclosure is described. The electrical connector assembly includes a female electrical connector mounted to the enclosure and having a tight space between a wall of the female electrical connector and an adjacent inside surface of the enclosure. A male electrical connector has a spring-action lock that locks the male electrical connector by way of a single locking tab that pops out to project through a slot in the wall of the female electrical connector when the male electrical connector is fully inserted into the female electrical connector. A color of the wall of the female electrical connector is a dark color and a color of the locking tab is a bright color such that a secure connection between the male electrical connector and the female electrical connector is indicated by appearance of the projected locking tab within the tight space.

A modular RJ45-type plug apparatus is provided for forming a connector interface with a connector jack in a high speed data transmission network. A housing comprises an insulative front portion and a conductive shield portion attachable to define an interior, within which is positioned a contact subassembly including a first PCB having cable mounting pads on one end and through holes for elongate plug contacts on the other end. The contacts are connected on one end to the first PCB and on a second end to a second PCB, with bridge portions therebetween collectively defining a jack contact interface. The second PCB comprises desired electrical characteristics which provide the apparatus with certain capacitance compensation properties, wherein the capacitance compensation is offset from a signal path defined between the jack-plug connector interface and the cable pairs.

In one example, a connector assembly for providing security to an article of merchandise is provided. The connector assembly includes a cord having a plurality of conductors and a body portion connected to the cord. The connector assembly also includes a connection portion engaged with the body portion and including a plurality of engagement members. Each of the engagement members is electrically connected to a respective conductor in the cord, and the connection portion is configured to engage the article of merchandise to thereby electrically connect the engagement members to one another for establishing a sense loop through the conductors in the cord. Interruption of the sense loop is indicative of a security event.

An electrical connector assembly includes a first connector portion with a first housing with a circumferential inner locking shoulder at a first end of the first housing and a second connector portion interconnectable with the first connector portion, having a second housing with a circumferential outer groove arranged coaxially with respect to a connector axis. A radially deformable locking ring is arranged in the circumferential groove of the second connector portion. The locking ring includes a circumferential outer locking shoulder, behind which the inner locking shoulder of the first connector portion is locked in a connected state of the first and the second connector portion and an unlocking surface that is circumferentially accessible from the outer vicinity in the connected state.

An optical module includes a base, an upper housing, an unlocker and a handle. The unlocker is rotatably connected to the base. The unlocker has a lock catch for locking the optical module. The handle is rotatably connected with the base by way of a first rotating portion. The unlocker is configured to be driven by the handle to rotate and cause the optical module to be in a locked state or an unlocked state. When the optical module is in the locked state, a first end of the handheld portion is further from a top surface of the upper housing than a second end of the handheld portion. A distance from the second end to a rotation axis of the first rotating portion is less than or equal to a distance from the first end to the rotation axis of the first rotating portion.

The present disclosure relates to a control module having a connector and a housing. The housing defining a first opening that receives the connector, and a hermetically sealed interior housing at least one electronic component. The electronic component is electrically coupled to the connector. The control module further includes a retaining clip in physical contact with the housing and mechanically coupling the at least one electronic component to the connector.
