A connector includes an enclosure having a top wall provided with a fitting and a mounting section; a retaining member including a main body fitted in the fitting section, an extended section extended forward from the main body and having a hook section projected beyond the top wall for retaining a mating female connector thereto, and an elastic section extended rearward from the main body and located in the mounting section; and a linkage assembly holding the retaining member between it and the mounting section and including a first linking member located above the elastic section and a second linking member connected to the first linking member and the enclosure. When the second linking member is pulled, the first linking member is brought to push the elastic section downward, such that the main body, the extended section and the hook section elastically bias downward simultaneously to release the female connector.

A spring clip for a flat flexible cable includes a first beam and a second beam connected to the first beam and resiliently deflectable toward the first beam. The second beam has a first contact bend extending toward the first beam. The flat flexible cable is positioned between the first beam and the second beam and the first contact bend abuts a conductor exposed through an insulation material of the flat flexible cable to electrically connect the spring clip with the conductor.

Looseness of two housings are suppressed. A connector includes a lower housing and an upper housing. The lower housing is provided with a locking portion. The upper housing is provided with an elastic locking piece that is hooked on the locking portion. The elastic locking piece has a cantilever shape, and restricts relative movement of the lower housing and the upper housing in a separation direction, which is a direction opposite to a coupling direction. The lower housing is provided with a protruding piece portion that protrude outward in a left-right direction. The upper housing is provided with a protruding piece restriction portion that restricts movement of the protruding piece portion. The protruding piece restriction portion is provided with an inclined surface that is inclined in an assembly direction to reduce a movable range of the protruding piece portion in a separation direction.

An opto-electric composite transmission module includes a printed wiring board, an electrical connector provided on the printed wiring board, and an opto-electric hybrid board which is electrically connected to the printed wiring board via the electrical connector. The opto-electric hybrid board has a long shape. The opto-electric hybrid board includes an opto-electric conversion portion including a flexible wiring board, a metal support layer, and an optical waveguide film in order in a thickness direction, and an electrical connection portion disposed in one end portion in a longitudinal direction of the opto-electric hybrid board and including the flexible wiring board, and the metal support layer and/or the optical waveguide film. The electrical connection portion is inserted into the electrical connector.

Disclosed is a compact coaxial cable connector for transmitting super-high frequency signals, which is adapted to connect a PCB to a single or multiple super-high frequency coaxial cable signal lines transmitting super-high frequency signals therethrough. The compact coaxial cable connector includes: a single or multiple coaxial cables each including an inner conductor, an outer conductor, a dielectric, and a sheath, wherein the outer conductor, the dielectric, and the sheath are stripped to expose the inner conductor over a predetermined length and a terminal of the exposed inner conductor is brought into electrical contact with a circuit signal line terminal pad formed on the PCB; and a male connector including a shielding can receiving the exposed inner conductors of the single or multiple coaxial cables, securing and protecting ends of the exposed inner conductors, and blocking electromagnetic waves generated from the inner conductors of the single or multiple coaxial cables.

An electrical connector for connecting to flat-wire conductors of a flexible circuit (FC) is described. The electrical connector includes an elongated body, a split-blade terminal, and a spring terminal. The elongated body has a longitudinal axis. The split-blade terminal has two prongs separated by a distance and is configured to interface with an electrical terminal of an electrical device. The spring terminal is configured to mate with one or more of the flat-wire conductors within a connection area of the FC. The spring terminal and the split-blade terminal are positioned on the longitudinal axis at opposing ends of the electrical connector.

A ribbon cable connector is fixed at an end of a ribbon cable. The ribbon cable has a plurality of electrical conductors extending parallel and distanced to one another. The ribbon cable connector includes an insertion slot extending in a plugging direction and receiving the ribbon cable, a plurality of contact element receptacles extending parallel and distanced to one another, a plurality of bulges in the insertion slot extending parallel to one another and aligned with the contact element receptacles, and a clamping device configured to clamp the ribbon cable in the insertion slot.
