An electrical connector includes at least one base body with at least one contact portion and at least one connection portion. The connection portion is provided for fastening an electrical conductor. The base body is made of a first material, and a layer of a second material is arranged in a surface area of the contact portion. An electrical connector that ensures reliable electrical contacting even under heavy mechanical stresses is realized by applying the layer of the second material by means of roll cladding or an additive manufacturing process.

A wiring method during which an electrical cable is connected, the cable including one or more conductive wires, to an electrical apparatus, such as a drive computer unit for assisted steering, by means of a non-sealed connector which includes a male portion placed in a junction box and connected to the electrical apparatus, and a female portion connected to the electrical cable, as well as retaining members for fixing the female portion on the male portion in order to create an electrical junction between the respective conductive terminals of the portions, the connector is then covered, after connection, with an enrobing polymer material which forms a sealed shell which protects the electrical junction at least from water.

The disclosure provides a connector and an electronic device using the connector. The connector is connected with a conductive element. The connector includes a terminal support component, a multiple of gold fingers and an electric conversion component. The terminal support component includes a first surface and a second surface. The first surface is opposite to the second surface or the first surface and the second surface are arranged at intervals. The multiple of gold fingers symmetrically arranged on the first surface and the second surface. The electric conversion component includes a main electric unit and two auxiliary conductive units. The main electric unit is electrically connected the two auxiliary conductive units and the conductive element. The two auxiliary conductive units are electrically connected with the gold fingers that respectively arranged on the first surface and the second surface of the terminal support component.

A twist-lock connector system includes a first twist-lock connector including a first connector housing holding first twist-lock contacts at a first rotate-to-mate interface. The first twist-lock connector includes a first high speed electrical connector. The first high speed electrical connector is movable relative to the first connector housing between a home position and a rotated position. The first twist-lock connector includes a biasing member coupled to the first high speed electrical connector to bias the first high speed electrical connector to the home position. The twist-lock connector system includes a second twist-lock connector having a second connector housing holding second twist-lock contacts and a second high speed electrical connector at a mating interface.

A connector includes a housing having a latch and a terminal mounted in the housing. The terminal has a locking hole with a locking hole front portion in a terminal insertion direction along which the terminal is inserted into the housing and a locking hole rear portion in the terminal insertion direction. A size of the locking hole front portion is larger than a size of the locking hole rear portion. The latch elastically protrudes into the locking hole to lock the terminal in the housing. The latch has a latch front portion in the terminal insertion direction and a latch rear portion in the terminal insertion direction. A size of the latch front portion is larger than a size of the latch rear portion. The size of the latch rear portion is smaller than the size of the locking hole front portion.

A first housing of a first connector is provided with a second guided portion, and a second housing of a second connector is provided with a second guiding portion. The second guided portion and the second guiding portion regulate upward movement of the first connector with respect to the second connector in the up-down direction between a preliminary mated state and a final mated state and in the final mated state. The second housing further has a movable member with a regulating portion. When the movable member is positioned at a locked position, the regulating portion regulates rearward movement of the first housing with respect to the second housing.
