A connector that has a conductive shell that supports at least one signal contact therein. The shell comprises a front end for mating with a mating connector and a back end opposite the front end for connecting to a power or data transmission cable. A coupling member is configured to engage the conductive shell and engage a corresponding component associated with the mating connector to mechanically couple the connector and the mating connector together. A plurality of ground connections are provided at the front end of the conductive shell and the front section of the coupling member for grounding.

A lamp includes a cover plate, a housing, and a light source assembly. At least one side wall of the housing is a light-emitting surface; the cover plate and the housing are enclosed to form an accommodating space; the light source assembly is arranged in the accommodating space; and the light source assembly emits light toward the cover plate.

This disclosure provides a method and apparatus for a single pair Ethernet (SPE) wire-to-board connector. The SPE connector may include a female connector portion and a male connector portion. The female connector portion may include a first electrical contact having a first press-fit pin and a first female portion, a second electrical contact having a second press-fit pin and a second female portion, and a first outer shield, the first outer shield mechanically secured to the first insulative housing. The first and second electrical contacts may be positioned partially within the first insulative housing. The male connector portion includes a third electrical contact comprising a first insulation displacement contact (IDC) portion and a first male portion, a fourth electrical contact comprising a second DC portion and a second male portion, and a second outer shield, the second outer shield mechanically secured to a second insulative housing.

An electrical connection device is provided and includes a cable-end connector and a board-end connector. The cable-end connector includes an insulative housing and a circuit board. The insulative housing includes a housing body and a mating plate, the housing body has a front end face, the mating plate has a front end portion. The board-end connector includes an insulative base, a plurality of terminals and a metal outer shell. A mating groove is formed between the metal outer shell and the insulative base and is used to allow the mating plate to mate therewith. One of the insulative base and the metal outer shell is provided with a protruding member and when the cable-end connector reversely inserts into the board-end connector, the protruding member stops the front end portion of the mating plate.

A board end connector and a connector assembly. The board end connector comprises a board end insulating body, a terminal module, and a housing. The board end insulating body comprises a board end plugging surface and a plugging slot. The plugging slot is disposed on the board end plugging surface and comprises two interference sidewalls which are oppositely disposed. The terminal module is disposed in the board end insulating body. The housing is disposed on one side of the board end insulating body. A plugging bump member is provided on one side of the housing. The plugging bump member is disposed in the plugging slot. An interfering bump is provided on at least one side of the plugging bump member. The interfering bump interferes with at least one of the two interference sidewalls to increase the holding force between the housing and the board end insulating body.

A connector unit includes a connector mounting member having a mounting hole, and a connector passed through the mounting hole and attached to the connector mounting member. The connector includes a terminal portion to which another connector is configured to be connected, and a hook portion engaged with an edge portion of the mounting hole. The connector mounting member includes a panel portion on which the mounting hole is formed, an extending portion extending from the panel portion along an inserting direction of the another connector with respect to the connector, and a regulating portion projected from the extending portion at a position abutting against or close to an end portion opposite to the terminal portion of the connector in the inserting direction. A distance between the regulating portion and the panel portion is shorter than a distance between the terminal portion of the connector and the end portion.

A grounding electrical connector assembly may have a connector subassembly and a terminal subassembly. The connector subassembly may include a connector housing having a body defining a terminal cavity therein and a ground bar, secured to the connector housing, having electrical contacts extending into the terminal cavity and a portion that secures to grounding structure. The terminal subassembly may include a terminal housing having a main body defining terminal cavities extending therethrough that each receive one of a plurality of terminals, the main body telescopically slidable into and releasably secured to the terminal cavity.

A float detector includes a latch and a float detection circuit. The latch includes a latch output and an input/output (I/O) terminal. The I/O terminal is coupled to an input terminal. The float detection circuit includes a detection input, a drive output, and a float detection circuit. The detection input is coupled to the latch output. The drive output is coupled to the I/O terminal. The float detector is configured to provide a drive signal at the drive output, and determine that the input terminal is floating based on a latch output signal received at the detection input responsive to the drive signal.

An electrical connector configured to be mated to a mating connector includes a housing assembly and a core assembly held rotatably within the housing assembly. The core assembly includes a contact assembly having a contact configured to electrically contact a mating contact of the mating connector, a finger protection assembly configured to at least partially cover the contact assembly, and a cable retention assembly configured to be attached onto an electrical cable.
