COMBINATION OUTLET AND POWER DISTRIBUTION UNIT INCORPORATING THE SAME
A combination outlet connector is disclosed. The combination outlet connector includes an outlet core having three T-shaped apertures. The outlet core has a core outer surface to mate with a first connector type, such as a C14 connector, and electrical terminals are positioned in corresponding apertures. A removable adapter sleeve is positionable around the outlet core and has a sleeve outer surface to mate with a second connector type, such as a C20 connector. The adapter sleeve includes a sleeve aperture at least partially congruent with the core outer surface. The electrical terminals are configured to connect with mating terminals of the first and second connector types. A removable adapter shroud can be positioned around the outlet core. The shroud includes a shroud inner surface to receive the first connector type and a shroud flange having a shroud aperture at least partially congruent with the core outer surface.
CONNECTOR KEYING DEVICE, CONNECTOR SYSTEM, AND METHOD FOR USING SAME
A connector keying system includes at least one keying device including a flange portion and a keying portion. The flange portion includes a front surface and a back surface. Each of the front surface and the back surface extend substantially parallel to a flange plane. The flange portion further includes a connector aperture extending through the flange portion. The keying portion extends around an aperture perimeter of the connector aperture and projects outward from the flange portion. The keying portion includes and extends between a first key end located at the front surface and a second key end opposite the first key end. The second key end defines a keying perimeter about the connector aperture. The keying portion has a height between the first key end and the second key end and the height is inconsistent between the first key end and the second key end along the keying perimeter.
Assembly comprising a first connector, a second connector and a coding system selectively allowing connection
An assembly (10) includes a first connector (12), and a second connector (14) mobile in axial translation relative to the first connector, a first part (16) attached to the first connector, and a first sleeve (18) axially rotatable relative to the first part between a first plurality of positions, a first blocking device (20) blocking the first sleeve, a second part (22) attached to the second connector, and a second sleeve (24) axially rotatable relative to the second part between a second plurality of positions, a second blocking device (26) blocking the second sleeve. The first sleeve, the first part, the second sleeve, and the second part have shapes that provide a coding that allows connection only if the position of the first sleeve matches the position of the second sleeve.
CONTROL BOX
A control box includes a housing, and a plurality of positive and negative plug connectors protruded and fastened on a cable let-out surface of the housing. The plurality of positive and negative plug connectors are different from each other, and each of structures of the plurality of positive and negative plug connectors is selected from a group including a dual male plug transmission-end structure and a dual female plug transmission-end structure. The dual female plug transmission-end structure is matched with a dual male plug transmission cable, and the dual male plug transmission cable includes the dual male plug transmission-end structure; the dual male plug transmission-end structure is matched with a dual female plug transmission cable, and the dual female plug transmission cable includes the dual female plug transmission-end structure.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR AND ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR ASSEMBLY
An electrical connector (1) includes: a housing (60); at least one contact (20) that is housed in a housing hole (64) including the body (63) of the housing, and extends in a predetermined direction from the housing body (63); and a guide (65) that is disposed contiguously to the housing body (63), and extends from the housing in the predetermined direction. The size of a portion of the guide (65), extending from the housing body (63), is greater than the size of a portion of the contact (20), extending from the housing body (63). The electrical connector (1) is mated with a mating electrical connector and prevents positional deviation between contacts in a pair, which are mated to each other, in a case in which such connectors are connected while being mated to each other.
Detachable memory and electronic device having the detachable memory
An electronic device having a detachable memory is provided with a docking connector, and includes a device body and a memory. The device body has an accommodating slot and a stopping portion provided corresponding to the accommodating slot, and the stopping portion and the accommodating slot jointly form a displacement space in between. The memory is provided with a connector and a protruding stopped portion. When the memory is accommodated in the accommodating slot, the stopped portion is moved along into the displacement space and is stopped by the stopping portion, and the connector is docked with the docking connector. Thus, the memory is provided with an anti-misplugging effect.
Decoupled alignment shroud for variable connector routing
A shroud configured to connect a leadframe to a battery system for a hybrid motor vehicle is provided. The shroud is removably attachable to the leadframe. The shroud has at least one shroud alignment feature, the shroud being removably attached to the leadframe in a predetermined orientation wherein the shroud alignment feature is aligned with a complimentary leadframe alignment feature. The shroud may include a hollow cylindrical portion and at least one connecting feature configured to attach the shroud to the leadframe. The shroud may be provided as part of a connector system that includes the leadframe. In this case, the leadframe is configured to provide an electrical and mechanical connection between a power inverter and the battery system of the electric motor. The leadframe includes at least one leadframe alignment feature that is aligned with the shroud alignment feature.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR HAVING SYMMETRICAL DOCKING HOLES
An electrical connector may include an insulating body and a housing. The housing may include walls defining an assembly space and surrounding external surfaces of the insulating body. The walls of the housing may include front and rear walls facing front and rear external surfaces of the insulating body, respectively. Portions of the front and rear walls of the housing may be spaced apart respectively from the front and rear external surfaces of the insulating body to form first and second docking slots in the assembly space. The front wall of the housing may include front docking holes in communication with the first docking slot, and the rear wall of the housing may include rear docking holes in communication with the second docking slot. The sizes and positions of the docking slots and the docking holes may be configured to enable a mating connector to be connected reversibly or irreversibly.
