The present disclosure relates to a connector, for docking a plugged member that is provided with a spring plate in a plug-and-pull manner, and comprises a shell, a PCBA chip partially arranged in the shell, and a locking mechanism that is connected with the shell and is used for connecting the plugged member, wherein the locking mechanism comprises an unlocking member and a guiding groove; the unlocking member comprises a guiding arm, a top wall and a pull strap, the guiding arm is slidably arranged in the guiding groove, a front end of the guiding arm forms an unlocking piece, the guiding arm is connected with the top wall, the top wall is connected with the shell through an elastic connecting member, and the pull strap is fixedly connected to a rear end of the guiding arm.

A lock arm is formed with a first receiving surface and two second receiving surfaces, and the second receiving surfaces are disposed to sandwich the first receiving surface from both sides in a width direction intersecting a resilient displacing direction of the lock arm. A resilient arm of a detector includes a first butting portion configured to butt against the first receiving surface, a separation restricting portion projecting farther forward than the first butting portion from a position closer to a housing body than the first butting portion, and two second butting portions projecting from both widthwise outer side surfaces of the resilient arm. The second butting portions restrict a movement of the detecting member at an initial position to a detection position by butting against the second receiving surfaces.

A high capacity battery charger includes multiple sockets to connect to a variety of different battery-receiving adapters. Each socket includes a multi-slot female connector and a planar flange that surrounds the connector for securing to a wiring harness and the top support deck of the charger chassis. A pivoting latch facilitates plugging and unplugging the multi-blade adapters into the sockets. An electromagnetic shield covers the power supply and includes a wing extending toward the central axis of a cooling fan.

A connector release assist system includes a first connector that has at least one first connector securing feature that is configured to engage a second connector to secure the second connector to the first connector, and disengage the second connector when a second connector release member on the second connector is actuated. A subsystem is located adjacent the first connector such that the subsystem inhibits access to the second connector release member when the second connector is secured to the first connector. A connector release assist device is located adjacent the first connector, extends past the subsystem, and is configured to actuate the second connector release member. In specific examples, the first connector is an RJ-45 female connector, and the second connector is an RJ-45 male connector.

The invention relates to a plug connector (300), having: a receiving element (10) for receiving a plug-in element of the first type (100) or a plug-in element of the second type (200) at least in certain areas; and - a push-pull locking system (20) for producing a push-pull locking between the connector (300) and the plug-in element of the first type (100); wherein the push-pull locking system (20) has at least one locking element (13) which is arranged at least regionally in a recess (14) of the receiving element (10) provided for the at least one locking element (13), and wherein the receiving element (10) has at least one latching means (12) which is provided and designed to with at least one complementary latching means (230) of the plug element, of the second type (200) to be brought into engagement.

An optical transceiver includes a housing, a fastening component and a latch. The fastening component is disposed on the housing. The fastening component is movable with respect to the housing in a releasing direction from an electrical port of the optical transceiver toward a fiber optic port of the optical transceiver. The latch is movably disposed on the housing to be at either an unlocking position or a locking position. The fastening component is allowed to be moved with respect to the housing in the releasing direction when the latch is at the unlocking position, and a movement of the fastening component in the releasing direction is confined by the latch when the latch is at the locking position.

Various embodiments disclosed herein are directed to an optical fiber connector. The optical fiber connector comprises at least one ferrule, at least one ferrule spring, a connector housing for holding at least one ferrule and at least one ferrule spring such that at least one ferrule spring is loaded to urge the at least one ferrule forward. The connector housing comprises an upper wall portion, the upper wall portion comprising a recess running lengthwise. The optical fiber connector further comprises a remote release comprising a front portion slidably received in the recess, and the remote release is configured to be pulled backward in relation to the connector housing whereby the front portion slides in the recess for releasing the optical fiber connector from a mating adapter.

A locking connector system for releasably locking a first connector in mechanical engagement with a second connector. The locking connector system generally includes a first connector including a female coupler and a second connector including a male coupler, with the first and second connectors being adapted to mechanically connect to each other. The first connector includes an adjustable latch which selectively engages with a catch portion on the male coupler to lock the connectors together. The latch may be pressed downwardly, such as by use of a connected button, to release the latch from the catch portion and disconnect the connectors. The first connector is adapted to provide audible, visual, and tactile feedback to confirm when the latch engages with the catch portion.

A tangle-resistant decorative lighting assembly, comprising: a main portion including a plurality of wires and connectors, including first and second connectors and first and second lighted-extension portions extending transversely from the main portion. The first lighted extension portion including: a first connector configured to detachably connect to the first connector of the main portion, a first plurality of wires connected to the first connector, and a first plurality of lamp assemblies connected to the first plurality of wires. The second lighted-extension portion including: a second connector configured to detachably connect to the second connector of the main portion, a second plurality of wires connected to the second connector, and a second plurality of lamp assemblies connected to the second plurality of wires. The first connector of the main portion comprises a lock portion configured to engage with a lock portion of the first connector of the first lighted-extension portion.
