An electrical connector is provided with a segmented design supporting multiple connector configurations with commonality across the configurations that simplifies connector selection and qualification. The connector includes multiple segments, each with an insulative housing portion into which may be inserted power terminals in one or more configurations or signal terminals. A first-type power terminal may carry a first maximum power and a second-type power terminals may carry a second maximum power greater than the first maximum power, but the segments may be configured with mating contacts with similar properties. The connectors may have a mezzanine configuration configurable in a stack height selected from a wide range of stack heights, with fine-grained resolution. Terminals in all stack heights may have similar mating and mounting portions, differing only in the height of a body portion.

The present disclosure discloses a socket connector including an insulating base and a number of socket terminals. The insulating base includes an outer plastic frame defining a receiving channel and an inner plastic block received in the receiving channel. The inner plastic block includes two sidewalls opposite to each other in a left-and-right direction. The socket terminals are arranged in two rows by positioning symmetrically and respectively on the two sidewalls of the inner plastic block. The socket terminals of each row are arranged in an upper-and-lower direction and spaced away from each other in the upper-and-lower direction. Each socket terminal extends along a front-and-back direction perpendicular to both the left-and-right direction and the upper-and-lower direction. A connector assembly including the socket connector and the mated plug connector is also disclosed in the present disclosure.

-- A high-voltage connector of a novel structure is disclosed which achieves an improvement in electrical conductivity, a reduced amount of heat generation and the like while realizing stable connection to a mating terminal by a simple structure having a small number of components. A high-voltage connector 10 is provided with a terminal fitting 16 including a terminal body portion 34 in the form of a flat plate to be overlapped on a mating terminal 76 in the form of a flat plate in a plate thickness direction, and a resilient contact portion 38 integrally provided to the terminal body portion 34 and inclined to an overlapping side with the mating terminal 76.

The present disclosure discloses a waterproof connector including an integral insulating body, a number of conductive terminals, and an insulating block. The insulating body includes a rear end portion, a front end portion, and a middle portion. The rear end portion defines a number of terminal grooves. The front end portion defines a mating space. The middle portion includes a receiving channel communicating with the terminal grooves. The terminals are disposed in the terminal grooves and extend towards the mating space. The insulating block is injection-molded in the receiving channel and seamlessly fixes the conductive terminals in the terminal grooves. The waterproof connector of the present disclosure can prevent water and dust from entering therein. A method of manufacturing the waterproof connector is also provided.

A board-edge plug connector establishes an electrical connection between at least one electrical conductor and at least one printed circuit board. The board-edge plug connector has a housing which accommodates at least one contact element and has at least one cavity which receives both the conductor and also the printed circuit board at least partially in the housing. The contact element both encloses and makes contact with the printed circuit board in a spring-elastic manner and also clamps the conductor against the housing and makes contact with it in a spring-elastic manner.

An electrical connector includes an insulative housing and a plurality of power contact pairs, the insulative housing has a mounting section for installing on a printed circuit board, a mating section and a plurality of contact-receiving passageways extending along a front-and-back direction. The power contact pairs are retained in corresponding contact-receiving passageways and divided into two rows along a height direction, each power contact pair in each row has two flaky power contacts, each power contact has a retaining portion held in the relative contact-receiving passageway, at least one contacting portion extending forwards from the retaining portion and at least one soldering portion bending from a rear end of the retaining portion. One row of power contact pairs is assembled into the insulative housing along a back-to-front direction, and the other row of power contact pairs is assembled into the insulative housing in an up-and-down direction.

The present invention is provided with: a terminal metal fitting to which a core wire exposed portion of a core wire of a terminal of a wire is physically and electrically connected; a housing inside which the terminal metal fitting and the terminal of the wire are housed and from which the wire is drawn outside from inside; and a wire holding member that holds, inside the housing, the terminal of the wire, in which the wire holding member has a fixed portion that is fixed to a fixing portion inside the housing, and a holding portion that holds the terminal of the wire so that the terminal of the wire does not move relatively to the housing when the fixed portion is fixed to the fixing portion.

A connector with a built-in substrate includes a chain terminal including a chain portion, a first tab portion configured to protrude from the chain portion in a predetermined direction, a second tab portion configured to protrude from the chain portion in a direction different from a protrusion direction of the first tab portion; an inner housing in which the chain terminal is installed such that the first tab portion and the second tab portion protrude; and a substrate connected to the second tab portion protruding from the inner housing.

In a connector, movement of a contact is appropriately restricted in detaching a counter connector from the connector. The connector fittable with the counter connector in a first direction includes the contact and a housing. The contact includes: a press-fitted portion press-fitted into the housing in a second direction intersecting the first direction; an extension portion that extends from the press-fitted portion in a third direction intersecting the first and the second directions; and a contact portion that extends from the extension portion and contacts the counter contact. The housing includes a protrusion portion that protrudes from a rising portion in the third direction. In a state where the press-fitted portion is press-fitted in the housing, a surface of a distal end portion in the third direction of the extension portion contacts the protrusion portion, which surface faces a side where the counter connector is situated.
