Connector and connector device
11936136 · 2024-03-19 · ·

A connector includes a housing body, a lock arm and a sub lock portion. The lock arm and the sub lock portion lock a mating housing to hold the housing body and the mating housing in a connected state. The lock arm is shaped to project from the housing body and be deflectable and deformable. The sub lock portion is arranged at a position facing the lock arm in a deflecting direction of the lock arm in the housing body.

Sealed electrical connector

A sealed electrical connector that includes an interface component that has housing with a front end and an opposite rear end, the front end has an open end face for receiving a mating connector, and the rear end for receiving cable. The housing has contacts. A terminal-position-assurance feature is coupled to the contacts and to the housing. The terminal-position-assurance feature may be located at a first axial position along the longitudinal axis of the housing which is a first distance from the open end face of the housing. An interface seal surrounds an outer portion of the housing. The interface seal is located on the housing at a second axial position along the longitudinal axis of the housing which is a second distance from the open end face of the housing. The second distance is greater than the first distance.

Multiport assembly and associated components

Systems and methods of using a multiport assembly and associated components are disclosed. The multiport assembly can include a multiport device that communicatively couples multiple sets or pairs of connectors, such as optical connectors or electrical connectors, together. The multiport assembly can also include an auxiliary port device that couples to the multiport device to expand the capacity of the multiport assembly. Both the multiport and auxiliary port devices can be selectively configured to receive specific types of connectors by selectively coupling to different types of adapters, where the types of adapters correspond to the types of connectors. When coupled to the multiport or auxiliary port devices, the adapters facilitate the formation of the communication between its corresponding set of connectors.

QUICK CONNECT DEVICE WITH WIRE COVER
20240088608 · 2024-03-14 · ·

A quick-connect plug and socket for mechanically and electrically attaching an electrical fixture. The plug has a spindle insertable into a bore of the socket to mechanically engage the plug and socket. An electrical connection forms between ring-shaped conductors on the plug that insert into ring-shaped openings in the socket to engage contacts within the socket. The plug body includes an extension extending from a side of the body to the spindle. The extension has a channel and slot, through which an electrical cord with wires inserts without threading the cord through the extension. The cord turns away from the extension to lie in a channel in the body and extend to a periphery of the body, to then connect to electrical terminals of the body. A removable cover covers the cord in the channel, the terminals, and the portion of wire that passes from the periphery to the terminals.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR WITH COMB-TYPE TERMINAL LOCK

An electrical connector includes a connector housing having terminal cavities which are arranged in an array having at least two rows and at least two columns. Each of the terminal cavities are configured to receive electrical terminals. Each terminal cavity defines a flexible primary locking mechanism integrally formed with the connector housing and configured to engage an edge of the electrical terminal, thereby inhibiting removal of the electrical terminals from the terminal cavities. The electrical connector also includes a secondary locking mechanism slidably attached to the connector housing and movable from a pre-staged position to a staged position. The secondary locking mechanism defines a plurality of members configured to extend into the terminal cavities and engage the edge of two electrical terminals when the secondary locking mechanism is in the staged position, thereby further inhibiting removal of the electrical terminals from the terminal cavities.
