A cable assembly includes a flat flexible cable having a plurality of conductors embedded within an insulation material. A portion of each of the conductors is exposed via openings selectively formed in the insulation material, allowing for a crimping portion of an electrically conductive terminal to engage with the conductor within the opening. The crimping portion of the terminal includes a base defining at least one aperture formed therethrough, and first and second sidewalls extending from the base. The base and sidewalls define a conductor opening configured to receive the conductor therein. At least one of the first of second sidewalls includes a sidewall protrusion extending therefrom, wherein the sidewalls are foldable into the conductor opening for crimping the conductor therewithin. In a crimped state of the crimping portion, the conductor is pressed into the aperture by the sidewall protrusion.

The first sidewall includes a first section attached to the base and a second section attached to the first section on an end opposite the base. In a crimped state of the terminal, the first sidewall rotated into the opening such that the first section at least partially surrounds the second section, and the second sidewall is rotated in a direction opposite the first section such that the first section at least partially surrounds the second section, for crimping the conductor within the opening and against the protrusion.

A socket connector includes a housing having a top, a bottom, a first side wall and a second side wall forming cavities that receive power sockets. The housing includes pin access openings through the bottom that receive power pins mated to the power sockets. Each power socket includes a cable socket receiving a power cable and a pin socket that receives the power pin. The power socket electrically connects the power cable and the power pin. The socket connector includes latches each having a latch release and a latch arm operably coupled to the latch release. The latch arm extends along the corresponding pin access opening and includes a latching surface aligned with the pin access opening configured to engage the power pin to retain the power pin in the housing. The release button is actuated to release the latch arm from the power pin and allow removal of the power pin from the housing.

A composite connector that contributes to an improvement of workability for mating connectors with each other while preventing or reducing an increase in manufacturing cost is provided. A composite connector includes a first module including a first housing in which a first connector is exposed, and a second housing rotatable about the first housing, the second housing including a second connector, and a second module including a third connector, and a third housing including a fourth connector, the third connector being configured to be mated with and connected to the first connector. The composite connector is configured so that the second and fourth connectors are mated with each other in a state in which one of a projection and a recess that is formed in the second housing is mated with the other of the projection and the recess that is formed in the third housing.

The present technology relates to a connector device and a connector system capable of achieving reduction in manufacturing cost. Provided is a connector device including a first contact used in actual use, and a second contact used only in manufacturing, in which the first contact and the second contact have different core lengths in a case of being viewed from a connection target side. The present technology can be applied to a camera device electrically connected to a vehicle connector, for example.

A junction box adapted to provide an electrical connection to an electrical wire attached to a photovoltaic panel. The junction box has a lower portion which has an entry slot to allow entry of the wire into the junction box and a raised protrusion over which the wire is bent and formed to be substantially in the same shape as the raised protrusion. The junction box also has a clamp adapted to be attachable to said lower portion, whereby the clamp holds the wire in place for providing the electrical connection. The wire is preferably bus ribbon. The lower portion preferably has an elastic polymeric element disposed between the raised portion and the wire. The raised protrusion may have an elastic polymeric element. The junction box also has an upper portion including a terminal. The terminal connects to an electrical load. The terminal is adapted to be applied under pressure onto the wire, thereby conforming the terminal to be of substantially the same shape as the protrusion. The upper portion typically has a fastener which closes the upper portion to the lower portion under pressure.

A display device includes a body, a housing separated from the body and configured to transmit/receive signals to/from the body, and a cable coupling the housing and the body. The cable has a signal line for transferring a video signal and a power line for transferring electric power.
