method for attaching the outer shell for the shielded device connector includes the steps of attaching the header connector with the shield member of the outer shell, which may been serviced, repaired, or replaced, onto the housing of the shielded device connector; and assembling, mounting, or connecting the header connector with the shield member of the outer shell back onto the housing of the shielded device connector, while maintaining the connection of the shielded device connector to the electrical device.

A card edge connector with a latch non-removably retained to a housing so as to improve the connector's reliability. The housing has a slot elongated in a longitudinal direction and is configured to hold conductive elements. Each conductive element has a contact portion exposed in the slot configured for mating with an electronic component, and a tail portion extending out of the housing configured for surface mounting to another electronic component. The housing has an end portion at an end of the slot in the longitudinal direction. The latch is installed to and extends around three sides of the end portion of the housing. The latch has a first retention feature, and the end portion has a second retention feature. When the first retention feature fully engages the second retention feature, the latch cannot be removed from the housing in a non-destructive manner. The latch and the housing may be made of different materials for respective functions.

A board connector includes a first housing including a base and two sidewalls and defining a receiving space, a plurality of first terminals and a first metallic shell including a first main portion and two extending portions extending from the first main portion and fitting covering outsides of the sidewalls. Each extending portion defines a locking hole. A cable connector includes a second housing, a plurality of second terminals and a second metallic shell comprising a second main portion covering a top of the second insulating housing and a pair of locking arms extending from the second main portion in the lateral direction. Each sidewall is sandwiched between the locking arm and an outside of the second housing and each locking arm is retained in the locking hole during the cable connector is engaged with the board connector.

The present application provides a connection structure, comprising: a first structural member and a second structural member matching the first structural member, wherein the first structural member comprises a base plate and plugging blocks connected to the base plate, two plugging blocks being provided at an interval; the second structural member is provided with plugging slots, one end of the plugging slot having an opening, and the other end of the plugging slot being provided with a blocking wall; two plugging slots are provided at an interval, and the two plugging blocks are respectively slidably plugged in the two plugging slots towards the two blocking walls; and the connection structure further comprises a limiting mechanism, and the limiting mechanism is capable of restraining the two plugging blocks from being separated from the two plugging slots, respectively in a direction away from the blocking walls.

A connector includes a housing having a mounting port, a connection assembly installed in the mounting port of the housing and adapted to fasten a terminal of the connector to a mating terminal of a mating connector, the connection assembly has a first operation part exposed from the housing and the connection assembly is capable of being fastened or loosened by operating the first operation part, and a safety cover slidably mounted on the housing. The first operation part is in a position of interference with the safety cover to prevent the safety cover from being moved to a safety position when the connection assembly is not fastened.

An electrical connector assembly includes a first electrical contact device and a second electrical contact device. The first electrical contact device includes at least one first electrical contact and an actuator movable between a first position and a second position. The second electrical contact device includes at least one second electrical contact device and an interlock feature to engage the actuator when the actuator is in the first position. The actuator is in the first position when the first electrical contact is in electrical communication with a power source, and the actuator is in the second position when the electrical communication between the first electrical contact and the power source is disconnected. When the actuator is in the first position and the second electrical contact engage the first electrical contact, the interlock feature engages the actuator, thereby securing the first electrical contact device and the second electrical contact device against disconnection.

The present invention provides a connector device comprising: a first connector which is fastened to a substrate, and comprises a terminal body having an opening provided in one surface thereof and a terminal provided in the opening and electrically connected to the substrate; a second connector which is fastened to an electric wire, and comprises a socket body inserted into the opening of the terminal body and a socket provided inside the socket body and contacting the terminal; and a ratchet part by which the first connector and the second connector are coupled so as not to be separated or uncoupled so as to be separable. The ratchet part comprises a toothed gear, a ratchet gear, and a stopper.

A surge protector with an anti-off structure includes a pluggable module and a base. The base includes external terminal connection parts on both sides. The top of the external terminal connection part of the base is provided with a sliding limit device. Both sides of the pluggable module are provided with limit protruding blocks. The sliding limit device includes a hole cover, and the hole cover is slidably connected to the top of the external terminal connection part. When the pluggable module is completely inserted, a part of the hole cover protrudes into the pluggable module installation slot and is clamped with a fixing limit device of the pluggable module to limit the pluggable module from being detached from the base. When the pluggable module is removed, the hole cover is moved toward both sides, such that the hole cover is separated from the fixing limit device.

An angled connector includes a connector housing, a terminal support held by the connector housing, and a first terminal held in the terminal support. The connector housing has a first terminal passage and a second terminal passage extending at an angle to the first terminal passage. The first terminal passage and the second terminal passage intersect one another in an intersection region. The terminal support is slidable relative to the connector housing along the first terminal passage from a first position to a second position. The first terminal at least partially extends into the first terminal passage. The first terminal is closer to the second terminal passage in the second position than in the first position, and the first terminal is at least partially arranged in the intersection region in the second position.
