Connectors with audible feedback and contact protection

Connector receptacles that can provide audible feedback to inform a user that a card has been properly inserted, and can include structures to protect contacts in a connector receptacle from damage due to an improper card insertion. An example can provide a connector receptacle having a click module to provide audible feedback indicating that a card has been fully inserted. Another example can provide a connector receptacle having movable contacts that can remain out of an insertion path until the card is at least partially inserted.

Connection Assembly and Connector with Rotatable Position Assurance

A connection assembly of a connector comprises a connection housing, a locking element and a position assurance device. The connection housing is interconnectable with a counter connection housing along a connection axis. The locking element is movable between a locking position fixing the counter connection housing to the connection housing, and a release position releasing the counter connection housing from the connection housing. The position assurance device movable between a disconnection position, in which the position assurance device permits movement of the locking element from the locking position to the release position, and a blocking position, in which the position assurance device fixes the locking element in the locking position. The position assurance device is rotated about the connection axis on the connection housing when moving between the disconnection position and the blocking position.
