A terminal fitting 13 includes a tubular portion 30, an elastic contact portion 33, and an extended portion 35. The tubular portion 30 extends in a front-rear direction and has an open front surface. The elastic contact portion 33 is disposed in the tubular portion 30, extends in a front-rear direction, and has a rear end directly or indirectly connected to the tubular portion 30 and a front end that is a free end. The extended portion 35 extends from the tubular portion 30 and opposes the elastic contact portion 33 in a direction in which the elastic contact portion 33 bends. The extended portion 35 is disposed at a position exposed on a front surface side of the tubular portion 30.

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.

A connector includes small-diameter shielded terminals 51 that are connected to small-diameter shielded electric wires 61, and a housing 10 that includes wide terminal housing parts 73 and a narrow terminal housing part 74. The wide terminal housing parts 73 include wide holding parts 35 and a lid part 41. The narrow terminal housing part 74 includes a narrow holding part 36 and the lid part 41. The lid part 41 includes a plate-like covering part 42 that covers openings in the wide holding parts 35 and the narrow holding part 36, and elastic pressure-receiving parts 43 that protrude from the plate-like covering part 42 into the wide terminal housing parts 73 and the narrow terminal housing part 74 and are elastically deformable under pressing forces of the small-diameter shielded electric wires 61 or the coated electric wire 67.

A connector housing for an electrical plug connector includes a cable duct and an oscillation suppressor pivotable about a pivot axis into the cable duct. The cable duct receives an electrical cable of a predefined outer diameter along a plug-in direction. The cable duct in a cross section perpendicular to the plug-in direction has a clear dimension in a pivoted state of the oscillation suppressor in the cable duct equal to or less than the predefined outer diameter of the electrical cable.

A connector includes a housing defining a first receiving space and a second receiving space, a conductive electrical connecting element arranged in the second receiving space, a retaining element engaging around at least portions of the electrical connecting element and a contact-securing insert arranged in the first receiving space. The conductive electrical connecting element includes a contact sleeve adapted to connect to a contact pin, and an electrical contact adapted to connect to an electrical conductor. The contact-securing insert fixing the electrical connecting element and the retaining element within the housing in an axial direction of the electrical connecting element.

A network-controllable cooling fan can have a recessed connector port with an internal tongue that defines an edge connector having a plurality of electrical contacts. The tongue can also define a plurality of electrically conductive tracks that electrically couple with the electrical contacts. Control logic can have a plurality of electrical connections and a logic bus that electrically couples the electrical connections of the control logic with the electrically conductive tracks defined by the tongue. An electrical biscuit-connector with internal electrical interconnections can join the network-controllable cooling fan with another network-controllable cooling fan, extending the logic bus while obscuring the electrical interconnections from a user’s view.
