A board-to-board connector assembly includes a receptacle connector and a plug connector mated with each other. The receptacle connector includes a first body, first terminals and a pair of first metal members. The first body includes an island structure and a first receiving slot surrounding the island structure. The first terminals are respectively disposed on a first side and a second side of the first receiving slot, the first and second sides being opposite to each other. The first metal members are respectively disposed on a third side and a fourth side of the first receiving slot, the third and fourth sides being opposite to each other. The first metal member includes a base extending to a bottom on the third side or a bottom on the fourth side, and a pair of first elastic arms extending from the base and facing away from each other.

A power tool including a housing that has a battery pack receiving portion configured to receive an interface of a battery pack, device contacts extending from the housing and configured to mechanically and electrically engage with the battery pack, and a latching mechanism supported by the housing and including an actuator and a latch member configured to selectively engage the interface of the battery pack. The actuator is pivotable to operatively pivot the latch member.

A connector includes a housing and a flat flexible cable disposed in the housing. The housing has a base and a cover movable with respect to the base between an open position and a closed position. The cover has a body and a protrusion protruding from the body. The flat flexible cable has an insulation material and a plurality of flat flexible conductors embedded in the insulation material. The flat flexible cable has an opening extending through the insulation material. The protrusion extends through the opening and abuts the base in the closed position of the cover.

An adapter plug for a charging port of an electric vehicle includes a housing, a first electrical connector, and a second electrical connector. The housing has circuitry disposed therein. The first electrical connector is integral to the housing, faces a first direction, and has a first profile. The first profile is configured to mate with the charging port and connect the circuitry to the charging port. The second electrical connector is integral to the housing, faces a second direction opposing the first direction, and has a second profile. The second profile matches the charging port. The second profiled is configured to mate with a connector head of a charging station and connect the circuitry to the connector head.

A connector 10 is provided with a flexible wire 20, a terminal 30 to be connected to the wire 20, and a housing 40 for accommodating the wire 20 and the terminal 30. The housing 40 includes a housing body 50 for accommodating the wire 20 and a holder 70 for accommodating and holding the terminal 30. The holder 70 is configured to be swingable in a plane direction together with the terminal 30 with respect to the housing body 50 by being attached to the housing body 50 with a play between the housing body 50 and the holder 70. A gap for allowing the wire 20 to be bent, following a swinging motion of the terminal 30, is provided between the housing body 50 and the wire 20.

A connector assembly includes a connector body defining a plurality of cavities, extending longitudinally through the connector body. The cavities are configured to receive inner terminal housings configured to hold electrical terminals attached to electrical cables disposed within the cavities. The connector assembly further includes a retaining device slidably attached to the connector body and moveable from a pre-staged position to a staged position. The retaining device allows the inner terminal housings to be inserted or removed from the cavities when in the pre-staged position and inhibits the inner terminal housings from being inserted or removed from the cavities when in the staged position.

It is aimed to provide a connector having a function of protecting a male terminal and capable of coping with size reduction. A connector includes a guide, inside which a female housing is arranged, a cavity located behind the guide and communicating with inside of the guide, a holding member arranged movably in a front-rear direction with respect to the guide, and a male terminal arranged inside the cavity and including a tab projecting forward. The male terminal is provided to move integrally with the holding member.

The invention relates to a plug connection (1) having a plug connector (2) and a mating plug connector (3). The plug connector (2) and the mating plug connector (3) can be plugged together in order to form the plug connection (1), wherein the plug connector (2) has a contact support (4) with at least one contact chamber for receiving a contact partner, and the contact support (4) is inserted into an outer housing (5) of the plug connector (2). Each contact partner is primarily locked in the contact chamber of the contact partner, and a secondary lock (6) is provided for a secondary locking of the contact partners in the contact chambers thereof. The invention is characterized in that the secondary lock (6) is formed by a longitudinal web (16), at the two ends of which a respective latching element (17) is arranged that interacts with the contact support (4), and at least one force absorbing web (19) is arranged on the upper face of the longitudinal web (16).
