An electrical contact element includes a common base and a plurality of spring arms extending away from the common base along a longitudinal direction. The spring arms are arranged around an opening in a circumferential direction and are spaced from one another in a contactless relaxed initial state. An end of at least two of the spring arms facing away from the common base forms an annular segment projecting in the circumferential direction on at least one side of the end. The annular segments form a support ring and mutually support each other in a fully compressed state.

Electrical wiring devices that incorporate clamp-type wire terminal connections are described. The electrical wiring devices include for example, single and duplex blade-type electrical receptacles, blade-type locking electrical receptacles, single or multi-pole electrical switches, combination switches and blade-type receptacles, blade-type plugs for electrical cords and blade-type connectors for electrical cords. The electrical wiring devices include a plurality of contact assemblies. Each contact assembly includes a wire terminal and a plunger.

A receptacle socket assembly for lighting equipment comprising: a receptacle having a front side for receiving contacts of a control module, said receptacle housing a plurality of receptacle contacts, each receptacle contact being provided, at a front end, with a front contact portion for being electrically connected with a contact of a control module, and, at a rear end, with a rear contact portion; a wire connector having a front side and a rear side, said wire connector housing a plurality of connector contacts, each connector contact being provided, at a rear end, with a wire receiving contact for receiving and fixing a wire end and, at a front end, with a front contact portion; wherein the rear side of the receptacle and the front side of the wire connector are configured such that the wire connector is removably pluggable in the rear side of the receptacle.

A multifunctional high-voltage connector and a battery product are disclosed. The multifunctional high-voltage connector includes: a fuse, a socket, and a plug. The socket includes a base and a socket terminal. The plug includes a seat and a plug terminal. The base includes: a first main body portion; a first accommodating portion, protruding from the first main body portion; and a second accommodating portion, protruding from the first main body portion and provided to be spaced apart from the first accommodating portion. The fuse is accommodated in the first accommodating portion. At least a part of the socket terminal is accommodated in the second accommodating portion. The seat of the plug is inserted into the second accommodating portion of the base.

A rotatable electric plug includes a plug housing including a sleeve body, a plug module including a mounting body and at least a protruding pin, and a limiting assembly coupled to the sleeve body and the mounting body. The mounting body is rotatably coupled in the sleeve body that a rotational movement of the mounting body is reversible. The mounting body has a first side and an opposed second side that a portion of the protruding pin is extended from the first side of the mounting body. The limiting assembly is arranged to block the plug module from rotating infinitely at the plug housing in one direction. The rotatable electric plug has the advantages of enabling the reversibly rotational movement of the plug module, enhancing the rotational movement of the plug module, retaining the plug module at an angular angle, and preventing the plug module from being infinitely rotated.

An electrical connector with improved high frequency performance. The connector has conductive elements, forming both signal and ground conductors, that have multiple points of contact distributed along an elongated dimension. The ground conductors may be formed with multiple beams of different length. The signal conductors may be formed with multiple contact regions on a single beam, with different characteristics. Signal conductors may have beams that are jogged to provide both a desired impedance and mating contact pitch. Additionally, electromagnetic radiation, inside and/or outside the connector, may be shaped with an insert electrically connecting multiple ground structures and/or a contact feature coupling ground conductors to a stiffener. The conductive elements in different columns may be shaped differently to reduce crosstalk.

The invention relates to a connection system for establishing a detachable electrically conductive connection, including a female connector and a male connector compatible therewith. The female connector includes a socket with annular concentric contact openings and contact elements arranged within the contact openings. The male connector includes a plug with contact elements which can be inserted into the contact openings of the socket. Ferromagnetic elements are arranged concentrically around the socket or the plug, the ferromagnetic elements of the male connector and of the female connector having mutual attraction in order to generate a retaining force between the two connectors.
